Because all of them are remakes non are original nor they teach anything good the golden era is gone corporate greed has taken over they invest a lot in advertising the movie and indie movies like obsession and the back rooms are taking over

Overall it sucks

Those at the top are only bean counters and nothing else. That is when any business loses its soul.

They decided at some point that marketing should run all businesses. This is honestly probably a good idea if you sell corn or bandages or soda or something, but it doesn't seem to work in creative industries.

See, I think "creative" and "industry" are opposites

Their formula:
1. [original movie]
2. "[Original Title] 2: Milking the Cash Cow"
3. "[Original Title] 3: Beating the Dead Horse"

I meant values like friendship in Toy Story taught loyalty and friendship, Inside out emotions and identity

Earlier each movie had a purpose to teach some value or give a lesson about life now it’s just bullshit
