Do you think new movies suck nowadays?

[🔥MasterLord🔥]

And do you prefer the old movies back in the day, than the ones released in this current time?

[Alkaida]

it goes both ways, tehres that godamn certain feeling old movies give you that youll never get from the newer ones, but if it comes down to preference, new ones.
it's just so advanced, the looks, effects, editing, acting, movies are something that can only get better, with some fukups in between just like games
super mario aint no witcher 3

The majority of modern movies are trash but you still get gems every year.

A lot these days dont rely on a sound script with actors who can actually act. It all taped together in CGI these days of the worst possible kind.

I think it has to do alot now with the chinese/asian market.

Believe it or not but china contributes alot to movie sales. However; they need to meet certain requirements or else they won't play them in their country (and not just china but probably other countries do this ♥♥♥♥ too).

Some guidelines include: chinese person in the main cast, no form of anti-government messages in the movie or theme of the movie, etc.


Also Most movies are now sorta all CGI or require a heavy budget to make unlike in the past. This is probably due to things like royalties (for marketing brands), hiring A-list actors, the equipment and sets, etc.

Granted that they do make a difference, you just end up getting basically...well...transformers franchise tbh where they mostly recycle the fight setups and overuse CGI explosions and characters too much.



also to add, theres too much shameless brand marketing in movies (most of the top grossing ones anyhow). Companies like budwieser and lays try to cash in (also fortnite if you watched the recent avengers movie). idk but to me it makes me feel like i'm watching an intricate commercial more than a movie. Wouldn't be too bad if it was subtle but they just throw/shove it in your face at certain points.


lastly i don't wanna make a big deal of it but i'm 100% sure that the PC culture has affected the movies alot. Filling in more agendas than actually making a good film ruins it. Sometimes they flesh out the entire climax of the film to get their message through and it only brings down the enjoyable experience.

I enjoy them both. I found endgame to be a great film and have it on my top ranks on favourite movies, but I also really love the BTTF trilogy, which is my favourite film franchise.

I think most of the new movies are becoming unoriginal, or just reboots trying to bleed a well-known series dry.

Hollywood finds it hard to admit they're running out of ideas

[DRUNK_CANADIAN]

I'd honestly say media has been circling the toilet.... in all formats sans videogames

[EvilPinata]

Not necessarily. Sure there's a lot of sequels, reboots, and continuations of existing franchises, but they're not all bad. On top of that, there's plenty of original movies floating around, they just don't get wide releases because when they do, they become box office flops despite being good. A lot of people that complain Hollywood has no new ideas, don't go out and support new ideas in film. People stick to what they're comfortable with.

[pasa]

definitely. I was watching over 100 films in movie for over a decade. In last few years it dropped under 10. We are served hot poop lately.

Also canceled HBO that is showing the same stuff.

[Alpha_pro]

Depends, Hollywood has gone down the toilet, I want them to make a movie without any hidden political or social message.

[Ⓥenom Ⓢnake 🐍]

There is nothing wrong with modern movies.

It's just a bunch of people whining.

Modern movies are just as good as the old movies. Nothing has changed. except for the fact that now we have this class of cinematic snob, that seems to favor old world over quality.

Uh, you say china is to blame for endless stream of unwanted sequels and remakes? And plots written by debils for imbeciles-only? I have my doubts, and the mentality looks more that found around Hollywood.

I’m just tired of the marvelization of action movies tbh. Like every action movie that isn’t Marvel related has to try and be like a Marvel movie.

The witty/sarcastic protagonist, the jokes during disaster or destruction sequences to distract the audience from that fact that hundreds of people may be dying, the villains with edgy backstories, the cliche companions (I’ve seen more unique characters in d&d groups)... just sick of it.

Explain to me how that's a new thing?

Let's use a very popular movie as an example.

Everything you just said is die hard 3. Or Terminator 2.

Marvel didn't create any of this stuff, you just happened to see it last in their movies.

Especially with what Disney is doing; seriously, leave your classics alone Disney, they're fine.
