The last time I went to a movie theater was in 2007 when I took my then 12 year old son to see the first Transformers movie and back in the mid 90s I took my daughter to see The Santa Clause and The Lion King. Before that was in the late 80s when my wife and I did a “double date” with a best friend and his girlfriend.
Since 1981 I have seen nine movies in a theater and have no wish to see another at any theater. Since I lived that life and thus see no need to hurry I’ll just pick up a copy of Oppenheimer when it is on Blue Ray, used, on EBay.
There is nothing that Hollywood produces that is compelling enough for me to go see. There are no more actual movie stars other than two or three who have done pretty well. They are now the worst, most pathetic, human beings on the planet and have zero acting skills and the writing and scripts are horrible. They have resorted, until the Me Too crap, to flagrant nudity, gore, and CGI when the old movies used good writing and acting skills to convey the same.
No longer is a script and the actors good enough to insinuate a sex scene without any nudity or graphic details. Now they have to show everything to keep the viewers in their seats as the script and acting are worthless. They use CGI to create monsters when a good script would create the monster in your mind, which is scarier than anything they can come up with themselves.
They have also resorted to no more than dredging up comics (I have always hated comics) and using CGI to create a mess of a film instead of finding grown-up themes in which to deal. Since they no longer have the ability to think they just create a remake of a hit then wonder why it failed miserably.
Hollywood can go take a flying leap. Oh, it looks as if they already have.
Some of the earlier Marvel films were good. I liked the first Ironman movies, Robert Downey was excellent in his role. Antman and Captain America (the first one) were all good.
They've made too many movies since then so the quality isn't there anymore. The CGI doesn't work that well. That's why I like Tom Cruise, he does all of his own stunts.
