So... a movie wants to allocate resources to make a film's budget provide a better product for you and you're angry? Sorry, but that's lame. The money they save on Taxes can be spent on costumes, CGI, talent, Writers, equipment, personnel, lighting, etc... In that case, you may as well boycott Samuel L. Jackson for making most of his movies in Winnipeg because he wants to keep as much of the money as he earns. You may as well also throw away your computer, cell phone, and all other electronics because they were made by cheaper labor to counter the cost increase had the products been made in the US. Sorry, but paying more in taxes only reduces the economic incentive to provide better services. By avoiding taxes, they are increasing the output of their budget to provide a better product.

Don't get hysterical. There's no evidence that substandard production was at fault. Plenty of people die on movie studios shot in other countries as well. You're making a judgment about Hungarians that is at best speculative, and that could easily been interpreted as racist.

Far more concerned with the quality of the movie (writing, acting, directing) than the location of the shoot.
