[QUOTE="Safetynetss"][QUOTE="Rhazakna"]They're enjoyable, but they damaged movies in many ways. Star Wars long with Jaws started the whole franchise era of Hollywood, and signaled the end of new Hollywood. IMO, movies were better before Star Wars' cultural influence.Rhazakna
Hmm... I love supporting effort, great effort with monetary spendings. I think it's important to live in a world where people who put a lot of effort into a product see a reward.
However I'm no film elitist. To me a movie is meant to be fun, and that's pretty much all. Plus one must blame the people for supporting the same old same old.
Anyway I don't think the movies are cheesy or anything. I think they're spectacular considering they're over 20 years old! However I just find them boring. Like, I like when the music plays and Darth Vader appears, but like I said I just don't like Sci-fi, space ships and that stuff.
I don't understand what you mean. Like, sequels are bad for movies now?
That depends on what you value from films you watch. From my subjective values, yes. As Hollywood has become more and more concerned with franchises, the American movie industry has become more and more boring, with lifeless sequels and unimaginative remakes, that do nothing but jerk off the original film, if that. The really distinct auteur directors are dying out, and there aren't that many people I see rising to replace them. Films these days are created by studios, not by artists.
