10 Most Pointless Movies Ever Made

Because there's too much money to be made with rehashing animated classics into live-action form, of course DreamWorks is hopping on the gravy train and doing the very same for How to Train Your Dragon.

Though this upcoming remake at least looks like a faithful adaptation, while benefiting from original director Dean DeBlois being back at the helm, beyond lining DreamWorks' coffers there's no worthwhile artistic reason for re-doing a movie released as recently as 2010.

The animated original still looks absolutely gorgeous and has aged spectacularly well in every respect, so even if this remake is reverent, it's tough to appreciate who it's actually for beyond shareholders desperate for more content-with-a-capital-C.

Plus, Hollywood has proven time and time again that it still struggles with live-action dragon-riding scenes. Even something as mega-budget as House of the Dragon can't help but turn in dragon-riding visuals that look a little on the goofy side, making it highly unlikely that this movie's live-action visuals can match its animated predecessor.

All in all, if this movie didn't exist, would anyone be demanding it?
