Zzzzzz. I'm tired of retreads. The feeling of being played for a sucker is getting strong. Spiderman XIV, Batman Re-Re-Re-Re-Re-Born, it's like the studios have a real lack of new ideas. I didn't even bother seeing the latest Bond movie. Which, except for some tiresome details of plot and a new girl, looked like the last three or five. I especially hate the gimmick of slicing the last movie of a series into two movies, just to milk one more go-around - Harry Potter, Hobbit, etc.

Star Wars, I'll see, because it was always supposed to be a nine party saga. Otherwise, my inclination to see a sequel declines with the square of the number.

Independence Day was just a throwaway Will Smith action flick. It doesn't deserve to be resurrected. It's not like the world has been clamoring for a sequel lo these many years. And the trailer looks - was there a single thing in it that wasn't perfectly predictable? Just the old movie's scenes with a terabyte of CGI?
