One trend that fortunately died off very quickly was "let's split one book into two movies" . Harry Potter did it and Hunger Games did it, and I think Divergent did it too. Only difference is that no one saw Divergent Pt. 1, so they never made a Pt. 2.

A little bit different there. They released Divergent, which did OK. Then they released Insurgent, which also did OK. Then they were going to break Allegiant into two movies titled Part 1 and Part 2, but at the last minute decided to just call Part 1 "Allegiant." Then it flopped and they were talking about making Part 2 (which they were calling "Ascendant") a TV movie, or TV mini-series... but none of it went anywhere. Now it's going to be a graphic novel or something, lol... it got "Dawn of the Ninja"ed.

Harry Potter, Divergent, Twilight, Hunger Games, Hobbit, and that's just off the top of my head... um, what else... Batman The Dark Knight Returns... It will be two parts, but it really needs to be... that's a dense book... in my opinion, The Hobbit needed to be split into multiple movies as well. Although perhaps it is simply that YA adaptations are dying off, not splitting into two movies. I dunno, now I feel like I'm arguing semantics.

Eh, Hobbit is a little different since LotR set precedent.
I've noticed too that there's been a wonderful lull of movies based off of YA novels, but then again I haven't heard of anything relatively recently that's caught people's attention almost universally the same way HP or Hunger Games did. |

Stop watching bad movies then. In recent years we've gotten excellent non-superhero films like Mad Max Fury Road, the new Planet of the Apes, John Wick 1 and 2, Creed, Mel Gibson's "Blood father," and the various Quentin Tarantino films like The Hateful Eight and Django Unchained.
I guess it's easy to forget non-superhero films still exist. |

It wasn't great, but I like seeing Mel Gibson act crazy and go on a bloodlust. Payback which was made back in 1999 I think...was one of Mel Gibson's best gangster movie roles.

The new Apes movies are much more action oriented than the classic movies, so you might enjoy them more.

The two new Apes movies are really good. They're also tonally very different from one another. Part 3 looks like it's going to be about like 2, but just on a bigger scale.

Once again Amy Pascal just throwing **** against the wall. Feige didn't look like he agreed with what she was saying. He's also said the exact opposite multiple times recently.
Sure, Sony could throw Tom Holland into these side movies if they sign him to a new contract but they aren't really part of the MCU if Marvel Studios isn't involved. |

Feige's face in the thumbnail says it all.
^ 'wtf is this idiot talking about' It's almost like Pascal thinks that Sony still 'owns' Spidey as far as public perception is concerned. |

This is a complete 180 from less than a week ago. Sony was trying to its own rhing yet now Marvel is putting it together. I wonder if Disney approached Sony and threatened to end its involvement if it was not.

Marvel isn't putting these together. They have zero involvement.
