I've noticed that people are not liking alot of the movies that have come these days. We always complain about how bad they are. We expect more, right? But I have a question. . . What do we expect? If you really think about it, going into a movie, what did U expect? Its easy to find all the faults AFTER! your done watching it. But before what did, what did you think it was gonna look like? Honestly think about? I thought Spiderman 3 was a let down, but what did I expect? I don't know. Granted there are ALOT! of bad movies that should be hated on! but there are others I feel get a bad wrap. I think were the one's who sometimes let are IMAGINATIONS run wild! A lot of times movies can't live up to what are imaginations produce. Then we hate on the film. I think were spoiled in this day and age of computer graphics and big budgets.
I'M JUST PIT BALLIN' HERE, THOUGHT?

I think there are three problems. The writers aren't creative enough, there are no Hollywood Stars to bring in the masses and the studios want to play it safe.
Ok, even if production companies do experiment, most will fail, but there will be some gems that last decades. These companies don't want to try for these gems. They want every movie to make money so they go for past ideas. Suspense and comedy require new matterial to work for instance and we aren't seeing that.

I agree, I would love seeing someone like steven spielberg do a movie the old way, what the heck even with more mechanical effects than computer's. I miss when you couldn't see the monster until almost the end of the movie, and when the plot would build before the special effects kicked in. Now even at the start of the movie you get something fancy that makes the suspence disappear.
I also loved that movies in the eithies evoked the atmosphere of the moment, if it was night, heck, you couldn't even see what was happening int he movie sometimes, hehe. I mean I love modern photography, but you know, we get movies like underworld that look blueish all the time, and it's cool, but everyone is doing stuff like that, 300 is a good example of doing it pretty well but, again I miss when you got more realistic photography. the use of shadows to show someone is coming, a panning up to show the villain, now we get this super camera move by computer tyo show a lousy villain.
Well, it seems the fun is really going away. you mentioned a good example, spiderman 3. Hell, sam raimi's army of darkness was a lot cooler even with those bad special effects...
A while ago I wanted to be a movie director and I regret I didn;t really try, sometimes I see a movie and I think, what the hell are these guys doing, I wish I could go there and tell them what to do.
And to be honest, that's the only we could do to change things. Make good movies. Show that even with little money you can do good stuff. Maybe in some cases go back to the way movies were done before, and in others do stuff noone has ever done.

True. But alot of times (especially with comic books) the Studio will railroad it onto the screen for the money and they end up being unfair with the material (like in Spider Man 3). But, the sword also cuts the other way and a lot of times people will buy a ticket for a brainless shoot em up action movie and then get pissed off that the writers did not make the movie plausible. The audience has to remember what kind of movie they bought a ticket for. A good example was a few years back with Bad Boys 2. I knew when I paid for my tix that it was thrown together. I wasn't expecting terminator 2. And at the end of the day I came out satisfied because my hopes were not that high to begin with and I got what I paid for. A plotless movie that would keep me zombified with explosions and gun play for a couple of hours. Sometimes that is all I want from a flick.

its not what our imaginations think up it what the advertisers put there...we watch previews for these movie and we see them for 3 months before the movie comes out...and ALOT!!! of the times they make it look alot diffrent then it is...for example I believe The villiage would have been a awsome movie...but When I went to see it the previews made it look like "the scariest movie of the year"...but it was more of a thrillers of human nature....I say blame advertising for leading us like sheep
