The new Star Bores, endless boring and meaningless sequels to Star Trek, Spiderman, The Hulk. Not to mention the countless soulless remakes/reimagining/sequels/prequels/ of classic 80's movies(Ghostbusters, The Thing, Tron, KOTCS).
And now THIS, a lame, loud, long, laborious sequel to Blade Runner. One that should have never been touched. If you don't make a sequel within the first THREE decades, FORGET IT.
Correction: Hollywood is DEAD.
Nobody can deny that originality has taken a back seat within mainstream Hollywood but I certainly would not lump Blade Runner in with these other titles. Some may fault it for being overly artistic but the film was definitely ambitious.
shareI'll agree Denis does have a lot of potential.
shareI wonder about the whole ambitious thing... I mean... does large "LOOKING" CGI sets make it ambitious? Because those are not real, just computer graphics. Which doesn't impress me at all anymore since a 9 year old with a MAC can do those. Now, if the large CGI sets actually push the PLOT somewhere, that would be something. But these were merely location back grounds.
Other than lots of saturated colors and neat sci-fi cities, I fail to see a "masterpiece" here as mentioned in all the purchased "reviews". Seems like all the dumbing down mentioned above has caused everyone to set the review bar pretty low these days.
The entertainment bar certainly is set low, I don't think people remember what quality entertainment is like anymore.
shareYeah, you are right. And that is the problem: everyone accepts what they are given and then it makes TONS of money pleasing most, so they run with that. :(
shareComing out with one boring Sci-Fi movie every October isn't helping much.
shareYes, and think about how Hollywood took down iMDB discussion groups. Why? The truth was hurting their business. Now Hollywood is manipulating the scores on Rotten Tomatoes.
They'll probably start attacking Moviechat, once it gets big enough.
“Hey I didn’t like this movie, so the positive scores/ratings/reviews for it must be fake. By the way, I’m completely retarded.”
shareMostly. I still have hopes for the future though. I agree with a lot of what you said here.
I'm trying to go for an engaging, funny youtube channel so, if you have the time, take a look. Hope you enjoy what you see. Thanks in advance. A review of the movie here- https://youtu.be/T8kS7nSeCQs
