Granted. Although I am often amazed by the amount of bad scriptwriting going on in genre movies (I mean come on, how much do they pay these writers?), I cannot be very offended by it. In genre movies the plot is usually little more than an excuse to get from one set-piece to another. In action movies such a set-piece would be a chase or stuff blowing up, in kung-fu movies it would be a fight, in horror movies something horrible, in porn... well you get my drift.
- watwut 8y agoFor me, it killed pleasure from watching them and I used to like them. Especially in horror, to be scared I need to sort of believe it. When I don't, then it becomes merely disgusting. Similar with fights, I don't feel thrill nor anything of the sort anymore. I used to like fights, but when all characters act like unreal idiots I end up wishing they all killed each other in the end. They never do. It is as if genre movies completely resigned on story and writing. It is just eye candy at this point. I don't think it used to always be like that, because I have seen some older movies lately and characters (including supporting cast) made more sense.
