The past few years I am finding the Avengers, Star Wars and James Bond movies hard to sit through. I really don't need 3 hours of over stimulation of all my senses. There are better things to do in life.
- anm89 7y agoSeriously. I wish that I at least liked the one thing that was what the whole world apparently decided all at once was the only way to do things. I'm not even that snobby but I think these films are garbage from the perspective of what I've liked about movies over the last 60 years.

- derefr 7y agoThey're also the type of film for which there is the largest difference between watching them in a theatre and watching them at home. The reason "movie-theatre movies" are the way they are, is that everything that's not a "movie-theatre movie", people would rather watch on Netflix.
- rolltiide 7y agoyeah I like movies too but whats IN the movies now is hard to rationalize. I find myself loathing the listed run times of 1 and a half to 2 and a half hours, while I'll gladly watch a miniseries on Netflix where each episode is just as long. I'm usually thinking: how are they going to cut corners on character development this time, jam pack the action scenes and twist in, without me feeling exhausted of the whole ordeal? I like the theatres because many of my living arrangements weren't conducive to turning the sound up so high that I can feel it in my body but now, I catch most theatrical releases while on planes - which may be unique to me - and just regret every time I actually do go to the theatre.
- wolco 7y agoI try to watch everything but I can't watch a blockbuster. The stories are too easy to guess and the rest is mainly special effects.
- Izkata 7y agoSpeaking of, amusing realization: Detective Pikachu has almost the same structure as Men in Black: International
- derefr 7y ago> The stories are too easy to guess Boy, you'd really be put out by classical theatre and opera (and commedia dell'arte, and rakugo, and...). Everyone in the audience of such shows has likely already seen the exact same story performed before, line for line! (And don't get me started about church services...) Seriously, though: sometimes the point isn't to tell you something new, but to deliver a polished retelling of a well-known story that the production company loves, for a new audience.
