[Opinion] Modern movie remakes/reboots affects nostalgia

Back in the Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and Nintendo Wii era, 70-80 percent of Americans didn't begged for remake or reboot of entertainment because we wanted to enjoy good creatives like Gears of War, Killzone, No Country For Old Men, There Will Be Blood, Dead Island, Final Fantasy XIII trilogy, Wall-E, Fallout 3, Black Swan, The Last of Us, District 9, Bioshock, Super Mario Galaxy, Assassin's Creed, Up in the Air, James Cameron's AVATAR and Midnight in Paris. All of those I mention movies and video games were so damn good and refreshing. Of course, we did not suffer nostalgia for anything that need to be redone and that's great.

First of all, the fact that you list Super Mario Galaxy and Final Fantasy XIII as examples of original properties from a time when "we did not suffer nostalgia" is weird as hell.

Second of all, between No Country for Old Men (2007) and Midnight in Paris (2011), the era that you consider so fresh and free from recycled ideas, top movies included the second movie in a rebooted Batman movie trilogy, the third movie in a franchise based on a classic theme park ride, the sixth, seventh and eighth movies based on a hugely popular book series, a Star Trek reboot and the Transformers series.
