10 Things Movies Need To Stop Doing IMMEDIATELY

With superhero flicks constantly bringing home the big bucks at the box office, video game adaptations finally clicking with their audience in cinemas, and Academy Award for Best Picture winners now containing sausage fingers and dildo fights, there's an argument to be made that the movie business has never been in better health.

Sadly, though, even with those undeniable flickers of fun, compelling drama, and glorious madness, there are still more than a few less welcome things that have routinely found a way to infect modern day movies and subsequently frustrate those paying their hard earned cash to witness what various studios are serving up next.

And in the case of many of the following feature problems many would love to see the back of in the not too distant future, the fact the issues themselves keep leading to more and more millions being made by the folks funding the action suggests that it may be some time yet before movies stop playing host to these rather annoying bad habits.

In a perfect world, though, everything from largely unwanted adaptations, to just plain lazy final act tropes would all cease to exist once you've taken in the contents of this very list.

Fingers crossed, eh.

News of the Dwayne Johnson-starring Moana being remade into a live-action flick just seven years on from being released feels like simply the latest example of the House of Mouse looking at a highly marketable property with a ready-made audience and seeing the potential to make even more hundreds of millions.

And it's not exactly hard to see why Disney were in a rush to capitalise on one of their biggest animated smash hits of the last decade, with the likes of The Lion King, Cinderella, The Jungle Book, and Aladdin live-action remakes all absolutely killing it commercially in recent times.

That being said, their most recent live-action reimagining in Pinnochio absolutely flopping with critics and not exactly being celebrated by the average fan upon making its debut on Disney+ last year may sit as one of the first signs that fans are finally growing tired of simply watching yet another unnecessary rehashing of a Disney story they've already seen.

The same goes for other tales that have already been successfully told on the big-screen over the years only to be plainly remade in a bid to make some extra cash off a well-known property, with everything from Total Recall to Ben-Hur foolishly being remade and not exactly doing much to justify their existence in the end.

Perhaps it’s time to spend exactly that thinking of a new story to be told rather than obsessing over recapturing lightning in a movie bottle.
