      Not really. Take a step back and you realize most popular movies are recycled ips and marvel or sequels. If people wanted original stories we wouldn’t be on 90th marvel movie and 20th john wick.

      Eh. Ever since i saw these mentally ill people who started crying during the lion king remake, i don’t belive that anymore. There are enough people who just watch everything with a disney logo on it.

        Yeah, that’s not the reason this one is failing. I think it’s much simpler… it looks terrible and the CG dwarves are disgusting.

        There’s a difference between original story and original IP

      I wish that were true but people go bonkers over copy pastes.

      • Marvel films
      • Ubisoft games
      • Call of duties
      • sports games
      • Nintendo games
      • Souls games
      • Battlefields
      • star wars -bethesda games

      None of them are original, all of them are at best small iterations upon previous few. Majority of the people don’t seem to want something great and different. They want something safe and good-enough.

      Of the top 10 box office movies last year 9 were sequels, prequels or remakes. The exception was Wicked, as an adaptation of a very established IP.

      I haven’t cared about any of their live-action remakes so far, but I have to admit I’m looking forward to the Lilo & Stitch one.

      EDIT: And I just looked it up and apparently Jumba and Pleakley will appear human most of the time. Never mind!

        The only one I enjoyed was Branagh’s Cinderella. Good visuals, no weird messing with the story, just a straight up retelling, just with good acting and direction.
