What do you think are some in terms of the content of movies themselves?
For example:
-Older sequels getting new director's cuts - Rocky IV, Godfather III
-Movies about the making of a classic movie - Upcoming movies about the making of Chinatown and The Godfather
-Female-starring action movies - Atomic Blonde, Peppermint, Miss Bala, Ava, etc.

Gender/race swap reboots and sequels that undo long time successful franchises.

Sequels that ignore the previous sequels. Case in point, Terminator: Dark Fate ignores Rise of the Machines, Salvation, and Geninys. Halloween (2018) ignores all the previous sequels and is a direct sequel to the 1978 film.

Oh yeah, this trend is very tiring, especially since they never seem to get that "return to golden the age" right, and so instead of useless reboots we are now getting useless "soft reboots", as they are sometimes called. I wonder what film started this trend.

Cartoony CGI versions of originally 2D works are much more common than they used to be.

I wonder what film started this trend. is the earliest example that I can think of. It's been years since I've seen it, but the movie doesn't acknowledge the events of the first two Jaws sequels. If not, then, it's Halloween H20: 20 Years Later which ignored the other Halloween sequels. EDIT: I was also reminded that The Exorcist III ignores the events of Exorcist II: The Heretic.

Live action versions of Animated films and vice versa.  Seems that original story tellers have all died ! |

Making female characters and minority characters copies of white male characters instead of creating new original female characters and minority characters.

I wish some franchises would stop trying to "return to the golden age" because some movies you just can't duplicate the experience or quality no matter how hard you try. I don't think there will ever be another Star Wars film that will capture the magic and feel of the 1977 original. I don't think there will ever be another Terminator film that will be on the level of T1 or T2. And I doubt Ghostbusters: Afterlife will be like the 1984 film no matter how much it tries to duplicate it (which it will). I also doubt Jurassic World 3 will be as good as Jurassic Park no matter how may original cast members they bring back.

I'd rather follow the Blade Runner formula of a new director, story and actor to keep it refreshed.

This one is much less popular, but Leprechaun Returns is another example; it ignores everything after the 1993 film. |

Sequels being released varying levels of long times after its predecessor(s). Ex. Mad Max: Fury Road, Blade Runner 2049, Doctor Sleep, Bill & Ted Face the Music, etc.

Hammer's Dracula and Frankenstein films had sequels that were remotely tied to the previous films in some cases--like Scars of Dracula, Dracula AD 1972.
