Aside from joker, all these are probably low budget movies. 12 years a slave try small but still low budget
Let's not forget how joker rehashed parts of its plot and characters from older films like taxi driver,king of comedy and network

Let's poke holes in that theory.

1. An abundance of poor plots could be caused by a saturated market of plots. There is not much new ideas anymore. So many plots have been written

2. An abundance of poor plots could be a balance or a result of having more movies made now than were ever made in the 80s or 90s. More movies today means more good ones and also more bad ones.

3. An actor who wants too much money will always be replaced by the market. Jared Leto is not the only person that can play the joker.

4. Movies are a financial risk. A big budget movie could lose millions of dollars. This is also why film companies are very cautious with scripts.

5. Indie movies take a more artistic style since they are not too much of a risk with lower budgets.


What do you think?
this is one high level thinking post. You can see why Disney and marvel are the best. The weight on the world is on our shoulders. But Oscars wouldn't see this. angry

The anti-spam bot keeps giving me 24 hours ban whenever I comment on this thread.
This has been going on for days. I've sent a mail to the mods but they did not get back to me (no surprise there) neither was the issue rectified.
I hope this time I won't get banned again.

Hollywood is definitely going through retrogression. It seems to be heading down to the level of Nollywood, for they seem not to be able to produce great movies these days without the infusion of magic.

I can confidently tell you that you don't watch up to 20 percent of all Hollywood movies produced in any given year.
There are a lot of interesting indie movies that don't make their way to cinema or even movies that are poorly marketed and as such they fly under the radar of most people.
It also depends on the genre you are into.
Action movies have gone downhill anyway and as such, if you are someone who watches mainly action movies, you could get disenchantment with time.

Arctic (2020)....7/10
Genre: Adventure, Drama


Bear Grylls definitely got nothing on this guy. Mads Mikkelsen was exceptionally good, his lack of wordings/dialogue in the movie was perfectly compensated with his display of emotions. It's just so amazing, how a single actor could pull this off.

Suspense came natural, directing was perfect, cinematography was on point, & the visuals were absolutely stunning, 

Man vs nature at its finest, but i feel that ending was totally unnecessary.

I like the way you put. I might not watch up to 3% of their movies but I watch the ones that make the headlines across the globe. These are the ones that matter, not some low budget crap.
How many movies can compete with the Avengers for instance in terms of attention or viewership? How many series can with Game of Thrones?

That's also another big dent on Hollywood now. There seems to be lack of original stories. And I thought Joker, though tried to offer possible origin story for the joker, was dull, but I have to give to Phoenix for his acting.

Mekaprime, Bratking.

I just want to apologise for my attitude during our debate about police shooting.

Everybody has a weakness. Mine is aggressive debating. I am very good at debating and trolling. Unfortunately, I do tend to mock people when I am arguing with them. It is a bad habit I'm trying to stop.

Sometimes, I wonder if it is a blessing or a curse. Looking back, I have truly frustrated a lot of people on this thread.


Anyhow, I'm sorry. I'm trying to turn over a new leaf.

Parasite (2019; Korean)

This totally beat my imagination. I was expecting something like a zombie type of horror movie only to be served with this excellent piece of work. What a crazy family! I find it hard to believe that such crazy people can be packed in one family.

Hard to rate but will give it a 7.5 out of 10

Though The Avengers movies are very interesting, I didn't like the idea of the world being saved by magic.

Old movie. I've watched it almost 10 times but I rewatched it again on DStv and it's still interesting as the first time I saw it. Currently showing as I type.
