Yet another superhero movie, yawn. Hollywood is devoid of fresh ideas.

Actually Black Panther is new.  I don't mind super hero movies I just don't want to see the same thing over and over again like the 3 spiderman reboots. 

And its not just superhero movies.  Hollywood really has a problem with reboots.  But, that raises a good question:  Is Hollywood responding that way because of lack of creativity or because what it knows people will pay to go see.  I mean money rules the world.  I doubt we would get so many reboots if people stopped going to see them.   What do you think the problem is?

Here's my two cents:  Hollywood, like all businesses, follows the money, and right now the money is in proven profitable franchises like super hero movies.

Think about it.  What age bracket goes to the movies? Answer: teenagers & young adults.  So, Hollywood is catering to this crowd,  If it's superhero movies they want, then it's superhero movies they get.  

I somewhat blame myself for the current situation.  When I was a teen, I saw Superman & Batman at the theatre.  I loved seeing those films with my friends.

Lastly, what really bugs me is think about how many actors have portrayed Batman.......How many have portrayed Superman........How many have portrayed Spiderman..etc.

In my opinion, Christopher Reeve was the best Superman; Christian Bale was the best Batman, and take your pick on the best Spidey.
