In the UK now, for a family of 4 to go and see a film, the cost of tickets alone is £40-50. Parking is £4+, and food and drinks in the cinema are ludicrously priced. If you take you family to watch a film then have a Nandos afterwards it's going to be over £100.

what are you doing back there?

I used to hire 7 weekly videos for $7. But the internet killed the shops. Cant be bothered downloading movies anymore. They freeze sometimes or laptop crashes.

Still relatively cheap though, the Thais pay half a day wage if they are not going on discount Wednesday.

I think the production costs are so high now, the backers want a guaranteed return, so sequels, remakes and movies based on books or computer games so they have ready made fan base.

 

But Green Book managed to sneak through - and that was excellent.  Just hope they don't make Green Book 2 ..... or a prequel.

And why are the production costs to high? A big part are for sure all those special effects, CGI, and and and.

I think that is the case.Its the same with a lot of music these days.

They are running out of ideas and originality.

As huge fan of the TV show, I certainly thought the extension of Breaking Bad El Camino was good. 

And, just read another BB related movie is shooting soon.

I guess the movies can be synonymous to bargirls demise.  Difficult to find young, sexy with giving attitudes.

Things just change I guess.

Do u need to sexualize everything?

I think all the good quality has moved to series nowadays hence less new good movies. Take Narcos Mexico, it is great stuff.

 

Gangster stuff has been done to death.

I agree with the OP.

 

I have a couple of HDD full of old classics, movies and TV series, that would watch several times over, but can't recall a recent movie that I would want to save for viewing again.

Why are modern movies so bad?

Movies are made for the demographic that goes to the movies, The younger crowd, so they are made to reflect their preferences. Also after 100 years or so of making movies it becomes difficult to come up with new ideas. 

So Movies did not become bad, technically they are as good and better  as they have ever being, 

You my friend have simply become  older, very few movies are made for you.

One of my good friends has recently retired from the industry. He worked since the mid-seventies as an AD. 
 

I asked him why the soundtracks will go from hardly audible chatting, to music blaring, so loud that one often needs to turn it down. He answered that the latest generation of movie goers lack any sort of attention span. They have to blast out sound to sdraw them back into the movie. 

Much of modern cinema technique is based on an audience without a lot of depth.

The last "new" movie I enjoyed was probably the departed. 

 

Early 2000s had some good ones though. Departed, gangs of new York, training day, blood diamond, Ali, there will be blood, matchstick men, 

 

I enjoyed all these movies quite a bit but I definitely think we are in a low patch for movies, music and video games sadly. There's no creativity anymore.

This is quality. 

Some where really quite good though in my opinion. I loved the departed. Thought it was well acted, well written. 

 

But yes for every good ones there's 90 stinkers.

Yes they did. They are bad. Too much special effects, no character development, too pc and no soul.

 

Older movies had soul. New ones are like pop music, just trashy formulated stuff.
