I grew up not watching movies, but I fell in love with it in my late teenage years. Initially I wasn't much of a fan, but things do change.


I've seen quite some good number of movies from last year (2019) through this year (2020). Truth is; I haven't enjoyed most of it, most haven't lived up to their genre.


I've been used to mind blowing action movies - which I sometimes rewatch over and over, thrillers have kept me at the edge of my seat - thinking about what's going down next, horror making me horrified - with some people getting insomnia after seeing a horror movie.


But today; the horror ain't scary anymore, little to no action in "Action Movies", the thrillers no longer thrilling. Rather they spend much time designing movie covers which wets our appetite, but then we're unsatisfied with the quality of the food. Movies are no longer as interesting as the plot suggests.


We now have HD quality movies, but the actual content leaves more to be desired. One would have thought as the world keeps getting better technology-wise, we'd have a much easier way of making interesting movies. From the look of things, that isn't the case.


To make up for this sudden decline in quality, I now follow TV shows - in fact I'm currently following four shows simultaneously. You'd agree that it takes longer time to complete these series, but due to how interesting they are, we follow them week after week, episode after episode, season after season, year after year. Why? they always (the good ones though) find a way to keep us glued, with teasing endings that keeps us coming back for more.


I (we) need great quality content that lives up to expectations. I still believe we'd get back to better days if only the producer (current and aspiring) will give credence to quality contents. Is this much of a ask? I guess not. They've done it before, they can still replicate the same feet.

I thought it's only me

It's so sad

I read somewhere that for one to sit and watch all the Hollywood movies from the beginning of cinema to 2016 it will take a non-stop time of 35 years. That is 35 years where one can find at least five hundred movies which meet your description of entertaining. A majority of movies are now remastered into High Definition quality. I will suggest you look into the past than the future when looking for engaging cinema.

Interesting! 35 years? That's a lot
