Yeah yeah, Sin city is a good film. My point is that you can sometimes ruin a good thing by trying to overdo it. Most sequels are not as good as the original (with exceptions like T2) and end up being disappointing. The exception is in works that were originally conceived of as multi-episode, like LOTR,
Jean de Florette and
Manon des sources, etc.
I'm not so sure there aren't good original ideas out there. I think it's more likely that Hollywood doesn't like taking risks on something that hasn't been tried and proven. They are also trying to reach the broadest possible market. (And yeah, "original" is a relative term.)
