Film's nowerdays...
« on: March 02, 2007, 08:16:12 am »
....a lot of them suck, really bad.
Have directors/studios run out of ideas already? What do you think it is that has caused the film-industry to repeat or 'ressurrect' old movie re-makes or 'already-done' ideas?

You can't honestly say that with an insane amount of movies released each year.

Yes I can.
I swear, all movies now are following the exact same type of thing each year....like all these CG-cartoon films.

Exactly.  WAY too many sequels/re-makes.  For example, Cinderella 3.  I saw a commercial, and my whole family was like "Three?  What happened to Cinderella 2?"  However, some new movies are good, one I really liked was Stomp the Yard, really good idea.  And again, others are just getting annoying.

I agree there's a ton of garbage coming out, but there's always a ton of crap coming out.  The only reason we think that movies used to be better is that we only remember the good ones.  Thankfully, the bad ones disappear into history. 

Anyway, just in the last year, we've had The Departed (a remake, I know), Children of Men, and Pan's Labyrinth, all of which were amazing.

I second your opinion, everyoneexcepticefox. I mean, "Aquamarine" and "My Super Ex-Girlfriend" - what WERE they thinking?! Trying to bring fantasy worlds into love affairs is so 30th century.

You wanna see a good new movie: Borat. It's so original, while most movies nowadays are insome way taking something from another movie.  :rolleyes:
Pixar is still good though.

Oh yeah, CG movies are getting out of hand only Pixar, Dreamworks & Bluesky(Ice Age movies) sholuld do them, they're the only good.

^ I'm sort of in disagreement with the Pixar thing. I thought after Finding Nemo the quality of their movies sort of went downhill. Neither The Incredibles or Cars struck me as very funny... But, hey, maybe Ratatouille'll be an improvement.

        Anyways, back to the general discussion- This year there're a lot of movies coming out that I want to see, although I will admit a good portion of them are sequels. I did, however see Ghost Rider recently, and I thought it was pretty dag-gone good. I guess technically it was based on a comic book, but it at least wasn't a remake or sequel. But yes, overall I think the movie business is suffering from a good bit of originality-block.

Borat is one of the films I REALLY wanted to see, but my parents where not interested in it....so I couldn't go.
...noone else wanted to go with me, so I'll have to rent it.

It sucks that Disney and Pixar went their seperate ways. Now there are only a hand full of movies that are good each year instead of many.
