MGM is back in action, but only on uncreative crutches

MGM has stepped back into the ring but they aren't quite ready to stand on their own two feet yet. MGM is planning on reviving their old franchises such as Child's Play, Robocop, and Poltergeist. This really makes me a tad upset that the only thing Hollywood thinks is entertainment is these revisited franchises. Sure it seems like people would want to see these old films redone in the new technology, but what Hollywood doesn't realize is that they are going to get the same response "Wasn't as good as the original."

If you haven't noticed, creative and original ideas are what seem to really sell lately. Think Avatar, The King's Speech, and Inception. These movies aren't remakes of old movies. Some of them are old ideas such as Avatar's story which is very similar to Pocahontas, but it was twisted around and made into a whole new movie that was executed fantastically.

Hollywood please realize that remakes aren't what we want to see. If you really want to revive the industry keep giving us original and creative ideas, and if you do want to bring an old story back to life...please put a creative twist on it.
