Title: What the hell has happened to American movies?
Post by: Wiggs on March 02, 2015, 11:42:09 AM
I'm as nerdy as the next sumbitch but comicbook movies dominating American cinema the last decade or so doesn't speak to the quality of the work.  Or is it Americans are so dumbed down that now they are entertained by simple, non-complex things? It seems the general public would rather see things that go boom and bright lights vs. a great plot with great writing.  Or they'll just remake someones shit and add cell phones and internet.
The only really good movies I consistently see are independent films and that's probably cause they have more creative freedom than some big studio would give them.  Anyway, how do you see it from your side?

Hollywood makes a lot less movies now because its to risky to have a flop. they have to make sure the movie they make will make a profit and in order to do so it has to be something they will want to see in asia, etc. the us market is not that important anymore relatively speaking. there are a lot of articles about this and its only going to get worse

It's horror movies that don't really do anything for me as an adult.

They are all fucking stupid. Annabelle? Oh brother.

All the good writers went to do TV series.

Dumbed down movies for dumbed down audience.

Social engineering messages and collectivism indoctrination.

Americans are so dumb its outrageous. Not only do we just produce crap films we also make foreign films even more shit. I mean we remake films which are amazing and even in an English language or possibly already dubbed...We take works of art, spray budwesier all over them and take a giant dump ontop of them.

American film market are bottom of the barrel scooter riding fucking fat fucks.

The fruitcakes who write, produce and direct movies use to have respect for the heterosexuals who overwhelming make up the majority. They don't have that respect anymore. They believe Hollywood is their own personal playground to push their personal agendas to the masses.

Terminator2
OG Robocop
Predator

Nothing touches these films.

It s just the sign of the end of a civilization, maybe mankind itself: after reaching a certain level, everything collapses. Civilizations , and species, are born, age and die. This cultural decline is just a step before the final stage.

what about everything that could be done has already been done? Sometimes there s simply nothing more to discover, do, and limits , boundaries are reached.

Only a person with no imagination would say such a thing. I have ideas, and I hope I'll be able to use them.

I really dislike the current superhero/fantasy shit

Childish crap made for adults who haven't grown up

applies to tv series too, they can be retarded as well as there are several superhero/fantasy series out now

And no, Christopher Reeve is not part of the modern inflation in effects driven movies ;)

Point in case the last transformers movie---filmed/based partly in China partly  so that it would be able to sell well over there, plus other reasons, I think one thing had to do with a Chinese based company.
