"A sequel is such a daunting thing because you don't want to lose the magic and the charm of the first one" (Sandra Bullock). We all have those classic movies that we enjoy until people in Hollywood create too many sequels. Honestly, the more sequels that are made ruins the origin storyline or plot from the first film. For example, the movie Ice Age was a remarkable movie. Ice Age was about this mammoth, sloth, and saber-tooth tiger protecting a human baby in an attempt to return the baby to its tribe. Three animals and a baby became their own herd, which made the plot of the film interesting. In the end, the baby gets returned to its tribe. Then, the three animals travel together to an unknown destination. All-and-all it was one of my favorite …show more content…
In my opinion, if they were going to make a sequel for Ice Age, they should have had it centered around where the main characters met the baby again, years later, and when it was older. However, that was not the case. Ice Age: The Meltdown was okay, but I knew it would never reach the same expectations as the first film. Shortly after that film had been released, three more sequels were released and a sixth sequel is currently being worked on. Hollywood has oversold Ice Age. They keep creating more sequels, so they can try to get more profit. I think it's sad how none of the other sequels have nothing to do with the storyline from the original and that these films have nothing, but random plots that make no sense. "I think a sequel is a waste of money and time. I think movies should illuminate new stories" (Francis Ford Coppola). Not a lot of people appreciate classic movies anymore. It's all about making money instead. Hollywood is not always as successful as they were the first time, be that as it may, they still try to make as much profit as they did with the first films. Another good example is Finding Nemo
The makers of 'Shrek' have now made the second sequel to it 'Shrek2. Meet the parents'. This film follows how Shrek meets Princess Fiona's family and how it goes all wrong for him.
Some of the situations may be familiar; we may be able to anticipate the ending. and the characters who should not really be different from everyday. people we meet). Having said this most people today like to see a new story, a new moral. This is a demand that every director tries to fulfilment.
Hollywood has played a big part is our lives. Growing up we’ve seen numerous movies, some that scared us others that touch us, and those images stayed with us forever. So what happens when Hollywood takes a classic piece of literature such as Frankenstein and turns into a monster movie. It transforms the story so much that now some 50 years later, people think of Frankenstein as the monster instead of the monster’s creator. It became a classic monster movie and all the high values of the original were forever lost.
There are multiple reasons why films are remade. As the most common answer many people would say, would be to make the film
In this paper I simply stated if characters are still characters over a period of time? My position was that filmmakers have deterred away from the original versions of Classic Films by comparing the differences in how they have changed two classic movies over a period of time. The moral of the story hasn’t changed over time: good will win in the end over evil, however the character of Snow White has changed from the hapless girl to the empowered female, flowing with the times and the audience(Callow, 2013).
The original film was made to educate the coarse, unenlightened masses. The great thing about the original film is that the gorilla is dealt with and addressed and even teaches us a valuable lesson about humanity and race. The new film doesn’t even try.
The film that was produced after the novel has a lot of differences and not as
They changed a lot and the director helped us understand what the island and the beast do to them. The story in general was okay as well. The director understand the book and also made the movie very gory as I would imagine. The only downside about the story was that the producer never expressed the big idea, which was the mythical beast. The book revolved around the beast but the movie didn’t mention the beast as much.
A movie that came out in 2002 was Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. This movie was based off the best-selling novel, which was written in 1997 by J.K. Rowling, called Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. If you were to read this book and watch the movie you would find many differences, but the main difference between the two is that the book gives more information to the reader than the movie gives to the viewer. If someone was to watch the movie instead of reading the book, that person would not be able to have an accurate perception of the book because so many things in the book are changed in the movie or parts are left out of the movie completely. This is mainly because the book has more characters and chapters, which are able to keep the reader informed and interested. Still, the movie is shorter so that people who want a quick summary of the storyline can get it,

Per usual, the summer months are just littered with sequels – with this year being no exception. From The Huntsman: Winter’s War and Alice Through the Looking Glass to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: Out of the Shadows and Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising, you might also make the case that we – as movie lovers – are unjustly subjected to sequels for movies that no one actually asked for. More to the point, the release of a sequel like My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2, which came 14 years after its predecessor, or Finding Dory, coming 13 years after Finding Nemo, forces one to wonder if the original creativity well is completely dried up. As such, films of this nature truly make you to wonder if there is any successful film that is above receiving
Movies - everyone knows that a recreation is never better than the original. But for some reason, directors are still redesigning old films, and they are viewed in theatres. I often ask myself, “How is this possible? What are people thinking?” However, after watching the trailer, I frequently find myself watching the movie along with everyone else, hoping that this time will be different.
...n able to reach otherwise. With unlimited possibilities and the creative minds in the world, the film industry is likely to consider seeing drastic changes. Like the world has in the past, peoples’ likes and dislikes will change with the ever-changing technological world. What we enjoy as a society in 2005 is likely to be considered as bland as we consider the black and white silent films, in the years to come.
