Why are so many movies in theaters garbage ?
| Same, movies nowadays (especially the animated ones) have gone to shit and even further
God why can't we have something on the level of Up or WALL-E ;~;
| Because people keep buying them to go out with their friends and get out of the house.
| Because Hollywood wants to play safe, and regardless of how shitty their movies turn out, people still go and see them. So it turns into a cycle of low effort, high profit.
| I don't know what you people are talking about. Theatrical movies are usually good fun.
If you want deep shit, you don't go to the movies.
| I watched some supherhero movies with my friends and they're all the same! It's never exciting either because they also have the exact same ending. I get so bored.
| Because your standards are too high. Movies you remember being good are painted by nostalgia, with the mediocre ones from your earlier years forgotten. All the classics you watch from before your time have all been heavily filtered through the years and your impression of them is already colored by the critical acclaim they've enjoyed for years. Truth is films are as shitty now as they've always been. 90% garbage, 10% gold.
| Because art is a very personal experience. You can watch an obscure experimental short about a talking chair, and it can have a profound impact on your life, but that doesn't mean that your friends will understand, much less enjoy it. And if you were spending 10 mil to produce a film, you'd think twice about the style you go for.
That's why I don't bother with the so-called blockbusters anymore, unless I get a special recommendation from a trusted source.
| I can't stand super heroes movies any more... they are like worse than telenovelas.
| Because they want the EZ $
| A lot of them are pretty bad...
Though I just saw Mission Impossible: Fallout last night and tbh it was pretty good. Highly recommended for anyone to watch.
| I only watch horror
| I watch alot of old ass films. I' really into old Japanese movise like Tetsuo, Suicide Club, and the original grudge/ju-on films.
The real reason I think movies in cinemas are considered bad is because a lot of the smaller, more and lower budget films are not as shown much. The new Mission Impossible was the last movie I saw recently, and I thought it was a decent movie.
However, the issue I think is due to a lack of proper directors and studios in the mainstream movies mainly.

90% of the time I cant even remember the plot.
