Superman Returns

Superman Returns is a well-made and entertaining film, but unfortunately it is part of an industry trend that I just have to have a little rant against. Please, please, can we stop these endless remakes and sequels? The Superman story is one of the all time great stories of our time, but it has been told, in a number of very good movies, TV shows, cartoons, comics, books, etc. There is no need to tell it again. The same applies to Batman (even more so), Spiderman, Dracula, Frankenstein, Jeckel and Hyde, Pride and Prejudice, and all of the other great stories that are dusted off and recycled with monotonous regularity. The time has come for movie producers to visit their local libraries and bookshops and discover some new, unfilmed stories. This cannot be so hard.
