True. Joker was amazing, but the thin ties desperately connecting it to "the universe" were blatantly obvious and subtracted from the film.

Interesting. I liked Joker but I feel like I was less critical because it was a Joker movie. Better yet, I feel as if I liked it because it was based on Joker. Without its tie to DC, it's not bad, it's even rather good especially in the current cinematic climate, but it is definitely not great. At least to me.

Nice joke But Logan is better and it's the best in superhero genre

Lol

Too bad he couldn't make a good movie.

Could be, or it could be from your perspective it's like that because when you saw the movies who were populair during your era of being young made it as a core memory and made your frame of reference. Which kids these days will have theire complete own and would have the same impact on them as this is on you? is it not more nostalgica root cause of this phenomenon ''vanish from your mind a few months later''? it's not new for you

@@Raymondd1516but today’s movies are objectively worse

@@KanyeTheGayFish69 yes, but that’s something else. It’s quality vs popularity/likeableness. It’s like most popular songs are in chords C - G - Am - F , but a real master pieces like Mozart and such aren’t as popular.

@Raymondd1516 but then after watching the whole mcu series, what did it do you other than entertain you for few hours and leave you empty after a week? There is a reason why real cinema is rare as it leaves a decent meaning you can relate to in your life

​​@@Raymondd1516I was born 2000. I've seen these awful modern films and I literally couldn't tell you anything about them, they are that boring. All I can remember of Avatar for example is tall blue people that have sex with tentacle hairs and something about nature yada yada. I remember in guardians of the galaxy funny man does a funny dance when everyone is about to die or something, and batman shouts a lot about martha while fighting superman cuz he's got dementia or something. Compare that to Avatar: The Last Airbender which, despite being a kids cartoon, isn't afraid to have darker moments and has some really good writing and top quality animation and choreography. If there's no substance, irs forgettable. If it has actual substance and quality, it'll be remembered.

And poor adaptations of books

Don't forget that people making films today care more for the physical aspect instead of the philosophy.

I agree with most of those, but I don't think we're amidst any dearth of acting talent. I think a big problem is that our appreciation for art and capacity to understand and interpret challenging ideas and themes has eroded. Audiences are dumber than ever. But audiences can only evolve in positive ways if they start seeing the occasional non-vacuous film.

Alot of independent films go against Rhonda Heston

That's pretty much why I barely watch movies anymore and mostly watch anime cause at least some shows have good storytelling

it was people pirating movies which caused movies to become more boring. You reap what you sow

Martin Scorsese was not completely on point, honestly. While yes he was right about the future of marvel movies being on the decline but he also said that marvel movies are not "cinema" even tho there marvel movies that are cinema for example Spiderman (Sam Raimi), Captain America The First Avenger, Iron Man, Black Panther, and more. Im not saying that "oh, yeah marvel movies are all peak fiction and cinematic because its that freaking GOOD" but I am saying that not all marvel movies are not just "theme park rides".

Yes leave the good original movies alone and remake something that actually needs a remake.

I feel the same way when a band releases a remix of one of their best songs. It's always worse than the original because there's not a lot of room to improve. They should remix the songs that didn't work the first time. (There are many reasons this would never actually happen...)

EXCELLENT POINT!

I remember the times when Americans decided to remake every decent Japanese horror there was. The reason was, I kid you not, that nobody wants to read subtitles.

Knives Out was surprising because it wasn’t terrible.

I always catch myself having very much hatred towards marvel movies but they aren’t really that bad. My problem is rather that Marvel movies release so often it’s like ur brain is getting hammered with it same with music. I am just so frustrated that everyone these days basically gets flooded with less I’d say more artistic movies or at least more old fashioned movies and more movies for consumerism. I feel like in an age of Internet and Streaming Art should get way more diverse but instead it’s more getting stuffed into this machine to make money and satisfy the lowest needs of every human

@@gggallin8279 Movies will soon be 90-minute long TikTok compilations, because that’s all the audience expects.

Comparing Marvel movies to amusement parks is appropriate...sometimes, I just want to be entertained and have fun, and not be required to think very much. And I don't think that there's anything wrong with a movie being made simply to be entertaining. The Marvel movies are well made, well written (for the most part), and have great casts. I love them, and don't feel ashamed of loving them. Having said that, sometimes, I want something different from a movie, and will seek out a less popular, smaller movie that relies completely on a great script and great acting. No special effects, no CGI, no 3D. Personally, I think there's room for both kinds of movies...I just wish that studios promoted their smaller movies like they did their blockbusters. In fact, the blockbusters basically sell themselves just by existing, it's the smaller movies that need the promotion.

I see what u mean but if everyone were dedicated to it all and knew nearly all that happened and the connections from the start to the end then it gets a bit deeper. Extraction was one of my recent favs btw and The 100 is pretty good for most of the seasons

I don't think anyone watches MCU because of the deep story, they watch it because of the bright flashy CGI fight scenes and the shower and shower of occasionally funny jokes. Even in Wanda Vision that looks like it broke the formula, there is still a bright flashy fight scene in the last episode.

MCU is not even watchable. If you think it's just mindless fun, you're already screwed. Already perverted. Already lost...

Yeah. This is way more about the death of movie theaters than about the movie industry itself. Theaters are dead. They ARE theme park rides now. But at the same time, we have many other ways of enjoying movies now and ones that can risk failure even more since it doesn't rely on opening nights anymore etc. It's just adapting, like the music industry had to when cds died.

good thing you didnt live in the late 90's then, when almost 70% of the movies was basically the same movie, with the exact same plot. or the 70's when a "big movie" was just another way of saying "a bible movie". if you think movies arent intellectually challenging anymore, i really have no idea what to tell you. because you clearly havent watch anything besides marvel movies...

Watch jallikatu ,trance , Kumbalagi nights etc.. films from malayalam industry.. they r the endangered ones

Not every film has to be the greatest piece of art ever made. Sometimes you just come back from work exhausted as hell and just wanna watch guys in silly costumes beat the hell out of each other or a super fast hedgehog for an hour or two. Movies aren’t everybody’s life. Most people (even when they watch “intellectually challenging” movies) don’t think about the film too deeply because (shock and horror) people have LIVES.

You certainly sound like the type to be "intellectually challenged" by old films like 'Showgirls' (1995) and 'They Saved Hitler's Brain' (1968). Stop being a pretentious wank and just accept that every generation has its good and bad films.

People watch movies to temporarily escape from life's reality. If you insert life's reality into movies, what's the point of watching them?

In a horror movie, having moments of comedy can be highly effective, because it brings down the tension a bit and allows for a new build-up, but you should never, ever, try humour during a dark scene.

Other way around dude. The ”heroes” of today are rarely standing for anything good and true. Just look at how they utterly have destroyed most of the classic hero franchises.

Or, maybe you become motivated to act in a manner which helps Their goals progress toward completion. But now I'm beginning to rant...lol

Yeah, but there are a lot fewer good movies, not great movies, just good. The grind house movies are high art compared to Hostel, Interview, and their ilk. Hell, Toxic Avenger is a classic compared to most mcu Pablum.

Sturgeon's Law was as valid then as it is now.

I agree. It's the same with music. There were very bad movies / songs back then as there are now. The thing is that the movie industry has changed a lot, just like the world did, since the 50s or so. And that made possible to all those low effort and formulated movies to exist in a higher quantity and to be successful. They are made for the masses, for the people who just want a laugh or an easy entertainment after a stressful day at work / college / school. They are not made for the real movie enjoyers. That's why most cinephiles get so uncomfortable with or dislike these new movies and the average Joe just doesn't care. The former is not the target audience.

You missed the point of the argument; there are products and there is art. Great movies still are being made but are being crowded out by products like superhero movies. Product movies existed before, and its ok to enjoy them but on this scale they are more than 60% of the market. A great, and very recent, example is how the great movie "Everything Everywhere All at Once" was crowded out of theaters because the new spiderman was playing for its sixth week.

Like the U.S. education system...

@@Jaxvidstar and the U.S. anything really. really sad that its the case.

That is the truth. "Man from Planet X" (1951) and "The Call of Cthulhu" (2005) had practically zero budgets, but danced cleverly around their limitations. It's not unlike haiku - saying more with less.

Its becuz when u got bigger budget u dont think much bout sets.. but when u got less budget u try to swing around it and gets more creative..

There is a certain creativity that comes through limitations. The director's vision adapts to these limitations and soon, you don't even notice there was any sort of "original vision."

I saw Shawshank Redemption when I was 8 and it really got into my head because of how much depth the characters had and how connected it felt. I didn’t find another piece of work like it until I watched the Dexter and fell in love with that a year later. The big deal in that is that it is easier to fall in love with with tv shows because they are many hours long. Shawshank redemption does the same thing in just a few hours. I went back and watched it a few months ago and it is still as good as I remembered.

Oh, plenty of us still write songs. You're just not likely to hear them unless they... and _we_ ...are considered "marketable". Thoughty2 did a great vid on this very subject a year or two ago. The music industry caters to it's lowest common denominator. It homogenizes styles until it all sounds the same, purely because that's easier to market to a wider audience. True innovation is rarely welcomed in any popular art. To find those innovators, you have to go underground. Thankfully, we also live in the age of the internet, so going underground is easier than ever.

I enjoyed Logan for this reason. As the last in a long series, there was certainly more freedom to show these characters as people, and not brands. It's a wolverine movie nobody asked for, but the one everyone likes. Spiderman Into the spiderverse was really good. The cell shading, cross hatching, and the minor details like the types of loss that propel Miles to put on the red suit, which were different and culturally relevant to Miles's life. Nailed home by the spider guys from other worlds, obviously with their own tragedies. These movies, sadly, feel like they could have dispensed with the branding and been just as good, but needed it to get butts in seats. This is becoming more common. Thor Ragnarok is a buddy comedy, kind of, which is taking the serious situation and making it a joke trope work well, as it is an objectively good movie I will re-watch from time to time. Comedy is an artform, and this movie, it's a really weird one, well executed, but without the marvel, Thor, Hulk branding, would it have got people to go? Would people recommend it? Would people have liked it if it were not for the others to compare to? Logan was objectively good, but not GREAT, but compared to past movies in the franchise, the most seasoned critic would be hard pressed to say it was bad.

that's a good way to put it. I can't even describe how bored I am with the superhero shit.

@@Shlogger yeah, me too. Out of all the Marvel movies I just love The Guardians of The Galaxy. They are all very well developed characters, who doesn't love those idiots, especially the big blue guy, whose thinking is on a completely different level, but the blue guy with an op arrow too. It's an awesome comedy, especially the second one, they make fun of everything, the 80s arcade was gold (pun intended). Chriss Pratt plays a guy who's just a normal dude who loves pretty women, he's flawed, like the rest of the bunch, but that's what we love him for, that he makes mistakes, like all people, and he isn't a superhero. He dresses normally, without some stupid uniforms, capes and other spandex nonsense. He isn't perfect like Captain Marvel nor Rey from star wars, whose company were just a background without any reason to be there, she's so "awesome" she doesn't need their support, she knows everything and is the best of the best. Star Wars aren't just Jedis, there's a whole fricking universe to explore, that does not involve any Jedis. But no, we got a new, universe logic destroying, plot hole ridden knock off of the old trilogy. But I digress, the music in the GoTG was superb, and I really enjoy the goofiness of it all, that it's not so serious, maybe it's good exactly because they decided to make a comedy of it (I heard the comics are way more serious, I don't think I could handle that, it'd boring). All I'm waiting for is The Guardians of The Galaxy 3, though with today's woke ideology, I doubt it will (if they decide to make one) be half as good as the first one, and the second is the best in my book. Maybe it's a blessing in disguise they aren't continuing it, what with all the firing of the original writer and the leftist sick ideology to preach at us through movies how awful we all are. In fact I stopped a year ago watching anything coming out of Hollywood, especially Netflix, which is red flagged for me after they allowed Cuties on their platform. It's a normalization process of normalizing the abnormal. And I won't watch that, nor will I let my niece.

I can 100% see why you would think that, one of the first things they teach you in entertainment when you work behind the scenes is to “make it look easy“ and I think that may have backfired… They really are not made on an assembly line even if it looks that way. If you look at something like Family Guy it takes a year to get on the air, avengers took years and thousands of jobs and a great deal of dedication. Guardians of the galaxy was made and it was not expected to do as well as it did but it was made as a passion project and the gentleman that fought for it Did so because it was his favorite comic... Not all movies may be great But someone believed in them and someone risked money on them...

You are absolutley right! If people didn't care to much for Money ,the world woud be a much better place.

@Leandro Aude True. The problem is they used to use some of the profits from blockbusters to fund more risky films. Now they want everything to be a big money maker and are unwilling to take chances.

Greed is by far the most destructive sin.

You called?

I thought like most Wes Anderson movies it was boring af

Watch the Raid movies for a taste of awesome 2010s action.

Robocop, Terminator 2, Predator, Blade

@@UntrueAir ppl and their softserved gum drops

Kill bill vol 1 and 2. I know not 100% action but they are from around 2004 2005 if I recall correct and amazing. For good sci-fi I was amazed by the new bladerunner 2049. not full action but I went out of the cinema for the first time after 10 years or so thinking „wow this movie flashed me. I have to think about it, 100% worth my money“. There are still some amazing movies between all the trash but they are hard to find

It's also possible that a lot of crap of the era has been forgotten. But still I agree with you. In my opinion, the 90's/early 2000's were the golden age. Now we clearly are in the dark ages.

They took the risk of being original and the audience responded to it. I love that :)

Omg SAME

Maybe it is our age. Everyone goes bonkers for this crap. I watch and feel empty. I fell asleep at batman v superman. A good flick is a rarity.

There are still a lot of talented film makers currently making movies: Dennis Villeneuve Coen Brothers Paul Thomas Anderson Wes Anderson Christopher Nolan (somewhat) Guillermo del Toro Tarantino The problem is all these artists take their time when creating new work, whereas marvel movies are rapidly completed via assembly line.

@@Zytron Watch the original “Blade Runner” and “Alien”.

I also thought the same, but you aren't alone...the problem is modern hollywood is woke crap now

Same with the music industry.

But the difference is 'the best' of 2020 pales in comparison to 'the best' of say the year 2000.

@@nahom1318 The best movies of 2020 are mostly postponed until 2021. It's really not fair to even count this year, when we're probably looking at WIll Smith and Jim Carrey getting Oscar nods because theirs are the only films that performed well enough in the box offices.

@@kinyutaka okay.. 2019 then.. or 18.. compare that years best movie to the best movies of 20 years earlier (but then again its not fair to compare 99 to any year i suppose.. i mean eyes wide shut, the matrix, fight club... Etc)

Yeah, but I'd think there was a lot less dross in the past because of costs. I do know that there are much, much fewer great films now. If you pull up oscar lists from the 90s there are movies there that people still talk about and watch, where really great movies are extremely rare nowadays. On plenty of years there would be more great movies in a single year than there have been in the past 5 years+ nowadays.

Damn from spykids? That's unexpected.

Yes. Spy Kids 2: the island of lost dreams

That’s hilarious that that quote came from Steve Buscemi’s mouth. Damn, good one, mate.

Lol I remember as A Kid those movies seemed so mysterious and Deep I gues I wasn’t wrong

you think god stays in heaven 'cause, he too, fears what he has created* those two out of place commas really fucked me up, man...

I recommend Indian movies as well, if you miss movies that were just about people and what happens to them jnstead of saving the world or whatever

@@quackingplatypus I love Indian movies too. 💃

if your lookingin to films outside of the hollywood yolk,i recommend some japanese classics like Godzilla(1954) or attack on titan if your in to anime.

So true. I watch way more foreign language film than films in english. I especially love French and South Korean films. Very real, no happily ever after ending. Gritty and well scripted. I'd say 85% of films that I watch are not in english.

Arthur Fleck wants to know your location.

Inception was good tho

@@jgsh8062 A lot of movies are considered great, or else would Hollywood not earn a cent. But is it due to them "training" the audience to like worse and worse movies? I have not seen that movie, but could you try to tell what it's about, what are the story, if you remove all violence, tough speak and other action scenes?

@@friedmule5403 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inception#Plot critics gave it 87% on rotten tomatoes

The only movie with a sex scene that actually had meaning to it and was integral to the overall plot was Terminator 1, yes! That's an action, Sci fi, horror film

Very true I agree with this. I feel like there is too much normalization of sex as the main romantic element in certain movies and less depth to the romance element.

so does french new wave not exist now? or do you have no idea what you're talking about. There are plenty of great movies pre 70s with sex scenes: "Vivre sa Vie"(Jean Luc Godard), "blow-up"(Michelangelo Antonioni), "Persona"(Ingmar Bergman), "Onibaba"(Kaneto Shindo), "Rosemary's baby"(Roman Polanski), and I could name like fifteen more off the top of my head but I won't belabor the point

You are right. Sex and obscenities get the point across, but in a shallow and lazy way -- and not just in movies. It's like that in books, too, and everyday life. Nobody can speak articulately anymore, they just resort to F this and F that. I'm not saying obscenities should Never be used, but they lose their intensity when overused this way. It's like using an exclamation mark at the end of every sentence, or a comma after every word.

Your dad sounds like a queef

I agree in principle but there is a fundamental problem with that - You have to drop a lot of dough and time sifting through the crap in order to find that rare gem. In theory, that's supposed to be a professional critic's function but they are just another corrupt arm of the marketing machine.

So true

I agree with you. *lose

@@ColonelSandersLite why? Some of the greatest gems are free, so why would finding them cost money? If you just want better things to watch in terms of storytelling, then watch anime. Want something intellectual, there's KZfaq, brilliant, and skill share. Want something with mind boggling visual aesthetics, just take some psychedelic drugs The reason I suggest anime, the people that create anime go all out most of the time, from voice acting, to even having custom soundtracks created, and most of those soundtracks or intro songs are amazing, so much so that they get a near cult following and become actual songs. Take Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba for example, the storyline is fantastic, characters are amazing and in depth even down to the villains, and the soundtrack? One of the greatest audible sensations I have heard in a long time. Just make sure you watch them in sub, not being racist intentionally, but English voice acting is fucking horrible and lazy and rarely even has emotion.

@@thezyreick4289 "watch anime" Thank you for the suggestion but I would rather gouge my own eyes out.

That might be the most stupid concept for a movie ever

Ever see Jason Lee in Lars and the Real Girl? It was an indie film from around 2010. Probably the only similarity is the sex doll...

And I had a marvel movie ad lol 😂

Im havin literally porn advertisements for an app. A girl that gets banged in a car wtf yt

Get Ad Blocker. You'll be happier for it.

Rogue one was fantastic and solo was good too

I give disney credit. Thanks to their failures i do not hate attack of the clones near as much as i did in 2006. Disneys bad choices have made lucas bad choices seem trivial. Solo was disneys best attempt but its still riddled with flaws but atleast it was worth the watch unlike their other disappointments

Solo was overshadowed in his own movie by the generic “Bad Ass Female Character”. I mean I could be wrong but I felt like he was the side kick in his own movie. She solves all his problems even defeating his final rival while he gets thrown around the room. Idk I just felt like the movie wasn’t even focused on his Character. And they had already done the Bad Ass Female Character while The Force Awakens and Rogue One. Felt very meth to me could have been awesome!

@@samsam828 It was a decent heist film, dressed up in Jedi robes. I think it's biggest flaw was that Han was the Han we knew from the start. He didn't BECOME the Han we knew. That's why he felt like a sidekick, as he lacked much in the way of character development.

They're meh

yeah I'm similar, I'm 50 now, haven't turned on my TV for about 20 years now, seriously, all the public TV is just absolute crap, I like sci fi, action drama etc, but, man, it is getting increasingly harder to find decent material to watch. Feminism ruined Dr Who, for example, the WORST director and female lead combo have turned an institution into nothing more than shallow mindless crap, just like a few other movie franchises out there that have been hijacked and re hashed with female casts...total and utter shyte.

psycronizer Feminism has ruined everything. Including the feminists. They’re miserable....hope all their cats eat them after they die of loneliness. 😎😂🤣

Brazilian Goddess Thanks but I’m doing just fine in the female department. And I only watch documentaries or KZfaq honestly. It’s the entire 3rd feminisms movement. That’s, a bunch of angry people. Just quit sticking your noses in everyone’s shit is all. You don’t see us trying to get in on book clubs and women’s television like, there aren’t enough positive male parts in Oxygen or Lifetime Movies? 😂 All the guys in those are rapists and woman beaters. But we don’t care. Watch your weird dramas ladies. 🤷🏻‍♂️ And I love women. Just not angry, nosy, females that don’t really want equality. They want everything except the yucky stuff. Then it’s all on men. 🤦🏻‍♂️ Uhhhhh I’ve walked out of 2 dates out of 9 in the last 3 months. They started all that...”I expect you too, and any man of mine will,” and I got up and walked out. Left them both with the check too. Lmao The other ladies were cool I guess. Still seeing one of them. Anyway, why can’t all you feminists be as reasonable as you are??? 🤷🏻‍♂️ You have a great day too.

@Brazilian Goddess The Mandalorian, The Expanse are both pretty good, so far. The new Star Trek, don't even get me started...

@@Lastboyscout77 Good for you bro, me ? I've given up, but I'm in no way worried or the lesser for it. I am actually quite content to live by myself and be my own boss, I answer to no one, free as a bee. Wow, they said that to you ?, I expect you to..any man of mine etc, dodged a few bullets there for sure !
