Hollywood Regurgitation

In my life I have watched many, many films and long ago I came to a rather obvious conclusion, Hollywood Studios fund and make a very large number of totally crap movies. The regurgitation of the same plots with multi-million dollar budgets, mainly for over done special effects and far too highly paid actors seems to be the ultimate goal of the studio money making machine.

Gone are the days of films actually revolving around strong plot/storyline. Of film makers with actual talent. Of special effects that do not base themselves of ridiculously overdone computer graphics. A plethora of films made in the last ten years had such great potential and yet....FAILED to deliver to the heart and soul of the target, the consumer. Two perfect examples of this are the obscenity that is Predator vs Aliens and the abomination of Michael Bays rendition of Transformers. To say that these films were let downs is an understatement. To say that these films broke the hearts and souls of many a viewer and fan is oh so very true.

Hollywood has a responsibility to the viewer to make sure that adaptations of well known stories stay true to the original concepts they have been taken from. Simply making money should not be the soul purpose of creating a film of this nature. Hollywood has proven time and time again that it is not difficult to get punters to pay to fill theatres world wide, but I leave you with the question, how many are content when they exit the theatre?
