That is true to a certain extent, but seeing every week the movies that come out in America, most of them I don't want to see any more. I used to go to the movies once a week 20-30 years ago, now they all seem to be bad remakes, and product placement commercials. Even the good American movies usually have a certain mass-produced quality to them. And of course a lot of American movies have plenty of foreign workers and actors in them too.
If name and face recognition was a negative the studios probably would not do it. I wish they wouldn't, I hate seeing the same faces in movies, and celebrity success often ruins an actor/actress. But they did it way back in the 20's and 30's with many of the classics. For example the movie Casablanca, a classic, has a whole troupe of actors that show up in almost all of the other movies of that era, but they do not draw attention to it. Now, they make movies and when the star first shows up on the screen they make a big deal.
I think most American studio made projects these days are propaganda pieces for America.

Maybe, and also they are just not good. They pander to the so-called 'stars'.

It is the whole constitution, as in makeup, of the country now, all about celebrities and personalities and money.
