The Lack of Ideas

It has come to my attention that recently the movie industry is lacking with new ideas. Why do i say this?? Well let me ask you this question the...When was the last time you saw a good english movie that is not related to a book (comics included) or history? Oh yeah and you have to cut out some genres as well, like horror and comedy since most if not all movies from this genre are purely fictitious. The last good english movie that i saw that is not related to a book or historical fact would probably be 'the matrix', well at least i think so anyway....can't actually remember anything better in between that and now. But then again i am a science fiction kinda guy so i'm bias towards those types of movies anyway. Lets not include star wars for now since it isn't actually out yet, but think about it in the last what....three years what did you watch? LOTR??? now thats based on a book, everyone knows that. Every year a harry potter movie comes out and that too is based on a book. And recently the influx of movies based on comics is surging into the movie industry like bees to honey...Spider-man, X-men, Constantine, Blade, Daredevil, Elektra as well as upcomming movies like Fantastic Four are all movies based on comics. And of all those movies, i'd say spiderman is the best among the lot, the rest is only so so and some were crap....like elektra. Then there is upcomming movies like 'War of the Worlds' which is also based on a book written by H.G. Wells also know for Time Machine. Although i'm pretty sure i missed out some good movies somewhere that isn't related to anything, i just can't actually pin point any that is outstanding enough to have the movie like embedded into my memory.
