Anyone else been disappointed by movies the last few years?

Over the last 3 or 4 years, I haven't been truly be enamored with a film. Any film. You know, those kind of films where you watch soon after and watch it many, many times over. Those films that make you happy to just think about. Those movies where you could watch any day of the week. Those movies where you can spot all the mistakes and grasp all of the hidden meanings.

I feel like movies now are just trying way too hard to be different and are quite self-indulgent. All action movies are just slammed with CGI and completely avoid practical effects. Why can't we have another good Jurassic Park? Movies now seem like rehashes, reboots, sequels, comic book adaptations of obscure characters. I mean, why not an original comic book film created specifically for a movie?

I've always loved non-Hollywood movies but I am finding myself loving non-Hollywood movies more and more.

Now that you mention it, yeah. Kind of--there have been a few here and there, but overall, nothing really earth shattering that I would want to incessantly watch over and over. And I'm getting a little burnt out with all the superhero movies...

I've the same feeling. I had enough of those empty movies, and about those wooden actors whose can't act. I will not watch Hollywood movies anymore. I go to the cinemas rarely nowadays. I only will support the real cinema.

I want to see if theres a pattern. I try to find out if there is a specific formula.
