What is wrong with the movies today?!

Hi Jake, I don't agree with you on this, there were so many good movies released in Hollywood last year. e.g. Dark Night rises. Personally, I'll give 10/10 to that movie. There was everything perfect in that movie, apart from that Avenger was also a good movie, yes, it was a fiction/comic movie but nice to watch and the scene in which Hulk worships Loki was awesome. Bourne legacy was also a good movie. There were other good movies as well (e.g. Ghost Rider part II) but I don't remember the name of all the movies. However, if you talk about Bollywood, I would say, yes, it was a disappointing year.

Yes they are, seems that many of the big actors arent making many movies these days. Same thing is here in mexico. lets hope it gets better. I love movies.

You are right in a way. There are lots of movies out there and lots of movie companies that fight for the money. However, if you pay attention, there are still great movies comming out that makes you think about their story and the final outcome. You have to let the critics and the public come out first wih their opinions and go watch only those movies that you like the story and the critics about it.There are more action movies around because they are made for the young public who are visiting the most cinema theatres. They like action, so in order to keep them entarteined, that's the result. But all you have to do is screen all the movies comming out and go only to those that you like the actors and the story. There are good movies still.

Gone are the days when wholesome adventure movies were box office hits. I miss the days when I would line up to watch these kind of movies in jam packed theaters. Our local films are mostly made up of the usual drama and cheap comedy.

Well as we all know,the action movie and the comic movie are more easy to earn money,so that is the reason why there are so many these kinds of movie nowadays,but as for your request you still can find out a lot of that if you careful enough.

Aside from making money in the soonest possible time, I guess most people are veering towards the "hero" theme amidst all the current violence and crimes going around. Just the good old plot of good versus evil and the good triumphs, which is okay. But I feel for you when you say that the producers or writers could have put more effort into making the plot a little more interesting and as you say, will leave you amazed after you leave.

Hello Jake, Well like any movie taken after a written story - be it a comic or a book, movies have to last for 2-3 hours at most so they have to establish how to make it really impressionable to make the audience want another one (yes, profit hungry producers are usually behind this). Well you could go for Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter series (for sci fi action and adventure and strong story behind them - also the new Hobbit movie). There's also "The Shawshank Redemption" which I know is pretty old (1994) but I am quite sure you would like it.

Are you freaking serious? Do you even go to the movies? Here's a list of some of the best movies of 2012, which was, in my opinion, a fantastic year of movies... Moonrise Kingdom, Django Unchained, The Master, Anna Karenina, Les Miserables, Lincoln, the Silver Linings Playbook, The Hunger Games, Life of Pi, Amour, Argo, Sleepwalk with Me, Flight... Some of these have some wild action scenes to them, like the Hunger Games and Django Unchained, but their powerful storylines and captivating characters go far beyond their action scenes, and the dialog is so robust and meaningful. Even movies that rely more on action, like Skyfall and the Hobbit and The Avengers and Prometheus, have incredible action scenes, and good stories to boot. There is more action in movies nowadays then there was in the past, granted, because now they can make anything happen on the screen with the incredible world of CG animation, but just as that has been pushing forward, so has story. If you have a movie that is just action, people get bored, just like you are from the movies you're seeing. This makes it so the big action movies don't make as much money, and they need something better. I have no idea what you're watching, but seriously, look into the movies I mentioned, and go and see what you're interested in. The world of film is going to keep going forward.

They want to keep it more interesting and visualistic and engaging people with sufficient amount of violence to make it look crazy

I like the comic related ones, but the other you speack of are far and in between. Why because they do what sells, not what will make people think. You have to find good DVD's for that.

More and more movies are venturing into money making rather than creating movies for the purpose of redefining life and showing the realities of it. Furthermore, they tend to stick to themes that catch the attention of the public rather than formulating and generating new ideas.

You are right. Now the movies is full of diferent effect explosion and shooting but dont have a real storie and a great ending(not always a happy ending)
