Not really. If you weren't a BIG director like Martin Scorsese, FFC or Nolan you'd have a hard time getting your film noticed if it ain't a blockbuster.


More than 90% of the time it's because of connection and popularity. Take the guy directing Black Adam for example. Dude is known for churning out average gbas gbos and no real depth but they chose him. Nonsense

As for trash movies vomited by the film industry, it has become a worldwide epidemic, it's not limited to Hollywood. You guys are being ridiculous when you contrast the few decent films you've seen from other industries with Hollywood productions that were intended to perform well at the box office (there are other factors that should come into consideration). Even your reviewers on YouTube and other social media platforms are making things worse because they only choose films that they are confident will reach the large audiences.

They drop their trashy reviews, you do the same, and the cycle continues. In the end everything that came out of Hollywood is bad because no one cares about a movie they didn't even hear about (you can't blame them though). The main issue with Hollywood is that they spend money on subpar movies that they then advertise, giving them a terrible reputation in general. That's all.


Succinctly put.

People just watch a few top films from Asian industry and believe they are up to par with Hollywood. grin

I can just draw up a list of 20 Hollywood movies from ONLY two years (10 films each) and they'd still bloody anything both Korea and Japan can come up with in the last 10 yrs.

It's easy to shït on Hollywood presently for releasing trash since it's the number one industry and one of the most prolific and the most recognisable film industry.

Please any recommendations for movies like The Atonement and the prestige I need movies with a strange twist ...thanks ..
Primal fear, the illusionist, the usual suspects, source codes, fight club, shutter island. This list just made me realize that Edward Norton loves plot twist movies. Lol.

I don't really fear much for Babylon. It looks like it will do well or better yet fare far better than Amsterdam.
Not gonna lie, I'll have to agree Amsterdam was poorly marketed that's if it had a promo at all.

I didn't even know it was releasing this October till I started seeing flop news. Just one trailer that's what I remember from it. The trailer sef didn't even sell it well that this ain't a film you'd like to miss. It's mysterious.
In this day and age you have to actually have something to draw the audience out to see your film. You have to tell them why this should be watched. That's why you see some movies with tons of trailers these days and TV spots eg Black Adam grin

But Babylon, I already know it'll premiere this December with limited release, then go wide in January.
The director of Amsterdam— Russell, also has serious character issues hovering around him. In a world where everything has gone woke, his dealings might not be so overlooked.

I wouldn't get too excited for Cavill's appearance as Superman in Black Adam.

Me thinks it's just a strategy to drive nostalgia and boost box office sales.

Would only take it serious when they announce MoS2.

While I'd love it to be Zatanna, I don't see it happening. It's probably Blue Beetle whose release date might be moved.

The fact that Avatar grossed $30m in just two weeks for a 13yr old movie means one thing: Avatar 2 is sweeping the world this December.
