10 Cloverfield Lane is a good movie. Too bad it really has nothing to do with the original Cloverfield.

To be honest, I haven't watched one of those movies and ain't particularly interested in doing so. I guess the German one?

K-Pax you fool. Watch it.

10 Cloverfield Lane is much better than the original Cloverfield. And what made it so great was exactly that it wasn't anything like the original.

That's why I thought the ending kind of ruined it. The movie was great because it was a character based drama. The rushed battle against the aliens was anything but that. It was much more nerve-racking to see her fight Goodman's character.

I'm so turned off by Cinemas these days, all I see are superhero and animation posters. I'm disgusted with this fcked up generation.

 

[adRHCP]

What's wrong with animated movies?

Hollywood has been badly out of ideas for a while. There are far too many superhero movies or unnecessary remakes/sequels. I don't mind the animated films, I'm not their target audience and I wouldn't go to see them at a cinema. I have to admit that some of the better "new" films I have seen in recent years have been animated.

Not everything rotates around Hollywood, though. You have plenty of other foreigh movies.

Very true, there have been some really good foreign films and they are increasingly accessible.

But there is no doubt Hollywood is the most influential, especially when choosing a film at the cinema e.g. my local one wouldn't show any foreign films.

It's hard to see many of those movies, but not impossible. Hollywood is mainstream, yeah, and most of the time satisfies the average Joe. They are getting the cash and are successful, otherwise they wouldn't exist.

Then you have to look from another angle and realize that majority of people are stupid.

Doesn't come out till next weekend in Poland.

I didn't want it to be like the original but since they used the name they should at least connect it somehow.

But the name was just a marketing ploy. The movie was developed as having nothing to do with aliens or Cloverfield. They plastered that name in the late states for dat publicity.

I see what you mean. It would have been better if they weren't connected at all.

If you live in a large city like me, there are usually at least one interesting movie released every single week. When you think about it, it's actually quite impressive. Sweet Bean this week, Eye in the Sky next week, La loi du marché the week after, Heart of a Dog and Mon roi the following one and Embrace of the Serpent the week after. I really think there are plenty of interesting movies out there.

I can see why you'd be annoyed with people's fascination for superhero movies, which is basically escapism, but when you got thousands of posts on a football forum discussing whether or not André Gomes would be an interesting purchase for your team, that criticism seems somewhat shallow.

The annoying thing about the popularity of superhero movies is that they occupy talented filmmakers who'd perhaps rather make a personal, experimenting film, but can't get the financing. But, of course, there are other ways of making movies than the Hollywood studio system.

And those are still the most sensible discussions on here too

It's only their fault, though. It's them who accept making superhero movies. So it's pretty much them who want the money. They obviously don't want to make an impact in the industry or on someones life, but they want the cash.

And yeah, when you look at the bigger picture then a lot of things don't make sense. Still, there are plenty of interesting movies that come out which are not available for me (can't even find torrents for plenty) which is kinda sad. Then again, there's always some choice.

Super hero movies have huge audience which is pretty worrying for the humanity.
