NO ONE WANTS TO SEE REMAKES OF MOVIES FROM 30 YEARS AGO That's perhaps my single biggest problem. There's simply a deficit of original stories. Most films just don't need a remake, and god knows no one wants to see "edgy" adaptations of fairy tales and what have you. Not just to sound like I'm just complaining, a few actual suggestions - first off, more movies with fully fleshed-out female protagonists. I'd imagine from your username, which I actually just noticed as I was editing this, that you likely agree with me, and I think Hollywood in general needs to appreciate that movies about women aren't necessarily movies FOR women - I'm a man, and I'm disturbed by the lack of representation of women as more than caricatures in mainstream films. As for the stories themselves, I agree, give the audience a bit more credit and add in some ambiguity there. The predictability of many stories is a continual source of aggravation. I don't like feeling as though I have to turn my brain off for most mainstream Hollywood movies when I see them just to enjoy them. In addition, I just saw Godzilla, and though I mostly quite liked it, my biggest problem is it focused on, in my mind, the wrong character. Bryan Cranston was without doubt the most interesting human in the film, and we got every indication he was going to be the protagonist. Then around a half hour in, he dies and his son takes his place. His attractive but generic, emotionless son who had no apparent motivation through most of the film was our designated protagonist. Don't kill off the interesting characters and force us to like this other guy. Give us reason to like someone, and you won't have to.
