He's probably alluding to the common problem with it. Way over hyped, not really it's own fault though and the incredibly dumb characters with dumb decision making skills.. as quoted by many.
It's watchable though, just internet elitists and circlejerks dragged it way further down than it deserved. Think Star Trek and the way that gets dragged around despite being damn good imo. |

Superheroes, more superheroes, more cgi, more cgi.... Where is the new Lawrence of Arabia, new Psycho etc? Actually something made for adults and preferably with a story? |
Re: Films to see in 2017
That is only the film's he is interested in seeing. There are plenty of other film's and different genres coming out.

Re: Films to see in 2017
I know there is other stuff and I wasn't having a dig at PaulM, but the point still remains. A lot of Hollywood content is cgi heavy and story light. Why is Hollywood so obsessed with this type of film?

Re: Films to see in 2017
what you have got to remember is that it is the blockbusters that pay for the arty farty films. I can remember 2 years ago when American Sniper came out. Neil Patrick Harris opened the Oscars talking about the big films nominated for best picture and I think he mentioned 6 or 7 films and said something like "together they have got $600 million at the box office" and everyone applauded and then he quipped "and of that $300 was for American Sniper" and he was having a dig that one film accounted for half of the revenue out of 6 or 7 films.
Every year I watch all the major films nominated for the big awards and some of them tell great stories, especially the ones which are based on true events, but they aren't necessarily the most entertaining. Everyone has different tastes and that is why we have so many different genres of films. I for one don't like horrors, they don't do anything for me at all but it doesn't mean they shouldn't be made so other people can enjoy them. |

Re: Films to see in 2017
....I've heard of Manchester by the Sea. So, yep one for me there.
And (sticking my neck out) John Wick2. Everyone I know hated the first film, but I liked it, so there! Who cares if Keanu Reeves can't act? Actually, it was his robotic expression that made the original film good in my opinion. And I guess I might throw in Spiderman and one or two of the other superheroes/scifi ones too. I just have to pretend to look like a teenager in the cinema which will be amusing with my ever greying hair. ---------- Post added at 21:41 ---------- Previous post was at 21:39 ---------- Quote:

The only "teenage" boy I know actually doesnt care for action, superhero or sci fi films. Pretty much the rest of my family & friends love them. None are teenage boys, and in many cases, they are girls. :cool: |
Re: Films to see in 2017
...fair enough, to each his own.:)
But I can only take enough of exploding buildings, gunfights, car chases, space battles etc. I do need stories some time as well to go along with the superhero, cgi riddled fight fests aka Hollywood films. |
