"Why are there so many remakes"
Because remakes are nothing new... people seem to think they are but Most of the biggest movies ever were remakes in some form,.

Wizard of Oz 1933.... 4th Oz movie to be made

Too much CGI... seriously, how can anyone complain about CGI. I see people put down Star Wars for it. But yet thats the reason the prequels didnt happen for nearly 30 years. CGI makes movies great.

and a million other stupid shit i hear people list.
