I do see your point. But watching movies is not a rocket science.
I never said movies suck, I only say that recently movies do suck. It's mostly movies for kids, exaggeration of super heroes movies that come out and remakes of old ones. On the other hand TV Series offered more quality watching.
It's not like I entirely disagree with you. I just diss the new movies.
There were plenty of great movies made this year. Unfortunately these days studios spunk all their distribution budgets on tent pole films like Iron Man while gems like Fruitvale Station and Ain't Them Bodies Saints are confined to the festival season and an early DVD release.
Exactly what I was thinking while watching the movie. Many of the views were most likely ignored in the movie, while it's been perfectly described in the book which makes much more enjoyable.
