Movies of 2014; They're really new?

Lack of imagination

As you know there are many movies this year, but few of them are really original. If you consider a reboot, sequel, remake and based on the best seller, then you're wrong. Nowadays ther's no creativity in Holywood, most of the pictures are aadaptations from famous books, remakes, reboots or sequels, instead of many years ago when the films were rally good in the plot, but being in black & white were a disadvantage. Now that film-makers have all this technology, they do movies not very creative.

The next lists are going to show you some movies in each category previously mentioned.

Remake

Remake is the category where movies are reproduced as the original one, in reference to the plot, characters, setting and almost every detail from the original one.

• Godzilla

• The NeverEnding Story

 

• American Psycho

• Jumanji

• Highlander

• He-Man

Reboot

This is the category where movies are reproduced again, but the plot is quite diferent and there are general details. Sometimes the reboot has a different, new and fresh story to relaunch the movie.

Sequel

A sequel are all the movies that are second, third or whatever the continuation of thr movie is.

Based on novel

This category is very easy to know what is it about. There are thousands of books with good stories to tell and some movies adapt those stories to the big screen. So all the imagination and creativity is owned by the writers.

• Divergent 
•   
• The Maze Runner

I truly believe that Hollywood have a lot of potential, but they're like in a hole and they have to get out of there and start looking more at the world, be fearless to write whatever they want. For example the independent Cinema is very creative and deal with subjects more concerning and reflexive.
