does hollywood even have a clue on how to make a movie?

what i mean is when it comes to horror and action movies... horror movies for the last 9 year has been all remakes from old horror movies example ( omen , when a stranger calls , friday the 13th , halloween, texas chainsaw ) i feel some of the remakes did a good job but the others just butchered the original classics.... i heard they were going to make a nightmare on elm st ...ok that doesn't sound too bad.... but when i heard they were going to make a childs play remake ..i was like how they hell u guys going to remake a doll.... hopefully they don't use the chucky from bride of chuck...and our newest horror icon of the milinium is jigsaw a old man that's just laying bed most of the time ....im tired of the saw movies i think their crap now lol

and when it comes to action films now i miss a really good one now i am a 90s kid so every summer there was a good summer blockbuster action film that was Rated R ...like Con Air , face off , the rock , the last boy scout , die hard ....it seems like there are no good action films now... i think the icons when it comes to action thriller are THE Rock and vin diseal ....but the only the rock has done is scoropian king and that movie where he plays a football player and trys to be a dad for his daughter...and vin diseal has only done Fast and the furious , triple xxx, and the pacifier... so these two i hope get better roles when it comes a action flick ...

what do you guys think did the horror and action genre have nothing to offer no more

    I would disagree with you when it comes to action movies. The Bourne movies were about as close as you can get to perfect action movies. Those movies revolved around great stories, first rate acting, and top notch action. While I didn't care for it, I think Taken was also a solid action picture.

    The thing is that right now Hollywood is in a cycle where comic book and superhero movies dominate. That's what audiences want and that's what makes money.

    When it comes to horror movies, why should Hollywood be creative when they can make a crap movie - remake or original - for a small budget and it will make $30-$50 million almost every time out. That's the same reason why later this year we'll get another Halloween, another Final Destination, and another Saw.

    If you listen to many movie discussions, one thing the general public always seems to want is more of what they already know. If they like a movie, they always want to see the next chapter. That's the reason why there are so many sequels.

    Here is the thing, you remember the good movies from your childhood and not the crap ones so it seems like they used to make better good to bad movie ratio BUT they do still make good action movies and I don't really know about horror movies but:

    ACTION: Bourne Trilogy, Casino Royale, Sin City, 300, The Dark Knight, Iron Man, etc

    HORROR: Pans Labyrinth, 28 Days Later

    Just to Let You know, there are a few action films that are good.

    Now a days, hollywood is slipping off the rock not abble to make as good of movies.
