My guess is that one part of the problem is how these movies are advertised, and who their target market is.
I always thought Harry Potter was a children's series, so why would I care if they made movies about these characters?
I distinctly recall someone saying what they heard about the new movie Avatar was that it had blue people in it, and was mostly a cartoon. Why would any adult have an interest ... unless they needed to find something to take their grandkids to?
JMHO ----Potter and Avatar fall under the "fantasy" genre and a lot of people are into that, and many adults got "into" Harry Potter too.....And I think the people in Avatar were blue to distinquish themselves as a different race, (surprisingly they may be blue but seem to have the same problems as us earthlings) 🤔 but the blue skin adds an alien and foreign element in order to add to the story and make it more scifi rather than a cartoon.....For me the only fantasy series that has ever peaked my interest was back in the day the LORD OF THE RINGS series and that was THE BOOKS not the movies....To each their own taste I guess...
JMHO but I think you make a good point, Gollywood has lost its creativity and imagination with much of the adult stuff thats out there--it seems its either action movies, comic book characters, or dull and uninteresting dramas, or the same ole tired plots!!! JMHO For example, the Gucci movie with Lady Gaga was so boring, people started moving their leather recliners to make "farting" noises to add some laughter and fun to the dull dialogue (I was NOT a participant in this childishness, but this movie did drag and indeed I was bored) But I bet a lot of academy award nominations will be made for the movie....Even though I am certainly not from that era I prefer the movies of the 30's/40's....great story lines, good acting, creative, imaginative, some are heartwarming and fun.....and the dramas have an interesting take... It's been a long time since any current movie "dazzled" me......

The Godfather movies ... I've tried several times, but lose interest around 30 minutes in on each of them.
The Harry Potter movies ... no interest.
None of the Star Wars after the original three ... I've tried, but quickly lose interest.
None of the Lord of the Rings/Hobbitt movies after the original three. I never read any of the books and wasn't a fan ... but I ended up watching the first three and really enjoyed them. Haven't had any desire to watch any of the ones after those three.
99% of the "Rom Com"/Lifetime/Hallmark movies ... just not my kind of movies.

@Shelbelle This is a great movie, give it a chance.

Dirty Dancing, never had the desire as I didn't care for Patrick. I later saw ghost, and liked him in that.

@Caaareful Shopper I came upon Avatar one day last year and became mesmerized, so bought the DVD.

@Tinkrbl44 Avatar is not a cartoon in any way, great movie.
