#1 - Disney buys everything.
#2 - Too much superhero films.
#3 - Everything has to be a franchise.
Disney is gonna own the God damn state by this point
Grust 5. Too many SJW propaganda in films
6. Too many films tell more than show
Mcu is probably the only good cinematic universe, and even I'm starting to get sick of their movies. Everything is a remake now, literally NO ONE has any original ideas anymore. Everyone looks as if they're trying to copy off the mcu and replicate their success.
7. The trailers of today show way too much and basically spoil the whole movie
@@zionnewkirk4838 What about:
X-Men Cinematic Universe
The Conjuring Universe
MonsterVerse
John Wick Universe
F&F Cinematic Universe
Cloverfield Cinematic Universe
Universal Monsters Universe (Original black & white one)
TarantinoVerse
View Askewniverse (1994-2019)
Toho Universe
Hell even the DCEU has had at least 4 good movies and their future slate looks promising.
Trailers nowadays show the best parts and just ruin the movie for everyone...
Like Batman v Superman trailer
except for Avengers Endgame
Here's a little secret for you. Only watch the teaser
Thats been a problem with trailers for ever.
They have been doing that for MANY years!
#1: Lack of creativity
Ya especially in the Dizney sector
Number 1 should be Movies are becoming to tame and child friendly (specifically Horror films)
Yasssss
Blame PC culture.
@@Ones_Complement Actually, a big problem we have now with movies is the studios doing their best to get movies pass the Chinese government censor and rating guidelines; the CCP has so much control over what they would allow into their country that Studios kowtowing, bending over backwards to please the Chinese government. They also rewrite scripts, allowing CCP to motify them just to win their market! Take for example the otherwise good movie like "The Martians", an needless inclusion in the scene of the fictional Chinese NASA coming to the rescue of supplying rockets for the resupply. Or "Kong, Skull Island" with the Chinese actress, what was her function in that movie and try counting how many words she actually said in it!? Chinese eye candy for the CCP then?
We can make fun of our country, our government, our president and laughed at our own military and police but try even remotely make fun of the CCP or show up their military in a poor light and such movies would never see the light of day! Prime example was the complete altered scripts of "World War Z" or "Red Dawn" Look up SARFT (State Administration of Radio, Film and Television) and en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Film_censorship_in_China!II
Yea, I understand China has a big population and represented a big chunk of humanity but hey, don't go out of your way just trying to appease them for the sack of their market. Hollywood is selling out its creativity and our national pride without shame!
Yes!
Same that’s what makes some movies bad is that pg13 rating
Here's a suggestion: Make a Good Movie; NOT a Franchise! If the movie is enjoyable, it may generate enough profit and interest to start a franchise. But thinking EVERY movie will spawn a franchise is idiotic.
Nice suggestion.
@David Hacking-Bonilla that would be freaking awesome!!!!!!
However...... I want to see Nicholas Cage as a cameo somewhere in that movie..... like a random beat cop about to put a ticket on the Ghost Rider's bike or some stupid stuff like that.
Totally agree! And to an idiot who doesn’t would respond. “Nah, no wait! What if we do a reboot of a classic! More CGI show the best pits to draw fans and need directors like Michael Bay!” And you will know who doesn’t understand movies they’ve grown up with.
@@danielwaugh2215 Ha!!!!! So true.
@David Hacking-Bonilla maybe someday we'll get a great Ghost Rider film.......
But not anytime soon.
Lol
No.1 Take something animated and make it live action!
Disney live action
Vampire hunter D
So true
I really like Disney channel's live action "Winnie The Pooh" back when Disney was a paid channel. Growing up we had one T.V. and no cable (which was fine with me due to my ever increasing love of books) However, every summer at my Nana's house (whom bless her heart had cable) Disney would offer two whole weeK GRATIS!! For freeeee! Despite being a die hard book toting, nature loving, Tom Boy. Those two weeks were something I looked forward to every year. Now that I think about it they also had a live action "Alice in Wonderland" called "Adventures in Wonderland" that was definitely a favorite Forgive me for the self indulgent nostalgic diatribe. I enjoyed it. Now excuse me while I spend. the next six hours watching old Disney shows on RUclips!
Any anime live action or old animated movies.
This is the time when movies in general suck. Creativity is being destroyed.
It's not destroyed,it's been retired.
Hopefully it gets better, if not I'll just
Stock to Hollywood classics
I'm sorry but #1: THE AUDIENCES
Whenever there is a good original movie NO ONE SUPPORTS IT and then it bombs and studios will make the same crappy reboots and sequels again!!
Yep. I'm even to blame. I didn't see a single movie between Captain Marvel and Endgame. Heck, I didn't see a single movie between Aquaman and Captain Marvel. Pretty sure there were tons of original ideas released between those movies. I'm all for original ideas, but I have to support them. But I also go off the trailers. If the trailer gets me interested, I'll go see it. But a lot of people are doing what I did when it comes to skipping all these movies in between superhero movies. So it all comes down to moviegoers.
Let that be #0. Can't get any lower than zero (positive numbers). More proof that the people are feckless morons who have to be reigned in with a hard yank to their necks.
Exactly
It's a chicken vs egg scenario. Even if you have that at #1, it's the previous 9 entries that caused it. People from the late 20th century didn't just wake up at the turn of the 21st century and suddenly said "I'm not supporting original movies anymore" for no reason at all.
@@projectpat8807 You blame yourself for Hollywood not giving you anything of interest? Do you even have that same attitude for 80s and 90s films? This is a top 10 because the problem does not come from only one thing.
Trailers show too much - and ARE TOO LONG!!!
Plus, there are too many remakes.
Barley remakes
Actually count them
@@biblicaladrian6007 plus. There are too many trailers out there. We only need one for a movie not three or four.
A teaser, official trailer, 2nd official trailer, final official trailer, international trailer, sometimes a red band trailer.
Ikr is it that hard to think of something new?!

WatchMojo2019: "We came to see film, not a video game cutscene"
WatchMojo2016: Transformers dethrones Citizen Kane
I also don’t agree with that. A film is about story and spectacle. If a film needs a computerized shot or scene to enhance the story or spectacle, then so be it
@@TheGrimStride exactly! Example: next thor or superman movie, you wanna see cgi or them flying using strings?
@@TheGrimStride agreed. people just don't want to be open minded
it doesnt matter cgi or not : transformers, and 90% or the mcu movies are garbage, not just garbage, they re straight up cum dumpster.
in fact it's lucky that they do have CGI, because there isnt much more to it is there ? in fact if there were, then why werent they this popular pre cgi movie era ? the stories from the comics were the same no ?
there arent many superhero stories that have a message worth sitting 2 hours through for or an emotional voyage worth it either, hence it's commercial ONLY.
@@omegamark9178 strings. Duh
Reboots, remakes, & sequels....that's all we get these days 😴 so boring

Most of these are just lazy filmmaking. So lazy, we can't even call it "filmmaking".
Check out RackaRacka on RUclips they make the best vids that are better than any of these movies
Easy to criticize when you haven't attempted making your own films huh?
@Austin Martín Hernández No. I'm intending to have people just open their minds to what they really saying. Maybe instead of just sounding like a straight up hater, people could address what could've been done better when addressing flaws of movies. Though I hear you
The Prince of His Own Kingdom It's funny you say that with Thor as your profile picture...
If you look at the “Top 10 highest grossing movies of the 2010s” vs. “the Top 10 highest grossing movies of the 80s and 90s”, you’ll notice that in the 80s and 90s, there was an *even distribution* of original AND non-original (sequels, remakes, comic books, literary adaptations) films in the top 10 lists, whereas nowadays, the majority of films in that list are either a sequel, remake, reboot, or comic book.
The only “original” movie to make it in the “Top 10 highest grossing films of 2019” list is “Us”.
Source: Box Office Mojo
And even "Us" borrows a lot from the Twilight Zone episode "Mirror Image"
And "Us" wasn't even that good. If the only original movie is sth like this than movies are really going down
Then that says something about the viewers right? We are the ones talking with our wallets, and if the top grossing films are just remakes and reboots then that means we only care about remakes and reboots.
@arno victor sure and it was cool but the plotholes ruined it for me
@arno victor Okay here we go:
Where did they get the scissors from? Why do millions of clones who lived underground their whole life suddenly have the same kind of scissor for their killings?
How did Adelaide leave the underground that easy? Okay maybe because the project leader gave up on them and the security system broke down or sth but why was Adelaide the only one who tried to escape? And most importantly: Why couldn't Red/Adelaide just escape after she was imprisioned by her clone?
Btw it's very veeeeery strange that Adelaide met her clone at that specific time at that specific location. Highly unlikely don't you think?
How did every clone exactly know where his doppelganger was? Even if they were sent above before the invasion to prepare themself it's really unlikely that nobody noticed.
All the clones are insane. How did Red communicate with all these million people through all these tunnels and more importantly: How did they understand her plan when they're totally crazy?
How are the clones so highly trained, flexible and good at fighting when being isolated for their whole life? It's highly unlikely that they had a fighting teacher down there. And even if they had: How would they remember such a complex program with their level of madness?
And last but not least:
Adelaide could easily escape the tunnels which probably means that the project was over already at that time and there was no security. HOW did she managed to find out about fake Adelaide's husband, find this specific person's clone and have children with him who are the exact counterparts of fake Adelaides children? Looking at the biological possibilities THIS is the most unlikely thing ever!
I didn't watch Lion King 2019. Nobody should have.

Yes dumbasses keep asking for prequels. I can’t stand prequels.. what’s the fucking point? I know the outcome.
you say that but nobody watches original movies
They're wanting to play it safe too much by making something that's already established instead of trying to create something original that they consider a risk. It's really pissing a lot of us off.

Thank you! 100% agree.
That may be true, but the MCU shouldn't get the blame for that
😭😭
@@eliben4066 I agree. Don't blame the trend-setters. Blame the trend-followers. It's because of the latter that trends get started.
Ever since the MCU has started, a LOT of other movies not from the MCU have been at least been 70% or lower. Also a lot of directors or producers have been blaming the MCU.
Those directors are scapegoating the MCU. They're just assholes who can't take criticism and decide to respond back by saying something's overrated. It's like the Hellboy director saying people didn't watch his film because the MCU is more popular, his film just sucked and we wanted a third Hellboy film, not a remake.
@@cleverpsyche115 That Hellboy film is an example of practical effects looking way better than cgi.. the monsters in the first Hellboy are practical effects and still stand up till this day. And the film looked better than 2019's hellboy.. even when I watch avengers it pisses me off when it looks like iron man and spider man's heads are floating..
What does the MCU have do with other studios if a movie is good people will go see it bottom line
The other studios are just lazy
@@retronerds6884 people goes to see captain Marvel, soo.....
Why we have a lot of the issues mentioned in this video:
The audience doesn’t spend their money on films that have the opposites of these qualities. They default to what’s easy and what’s familiar, and the good, original films that get made (and they DO get made) continue to not make money at the box office.
Why would studios choose to make movies that audiences will simply not see anymore?
This isn’t a studio failure...they’re just following our money.
They emphasize this with the narration for #1, but this can't be said enough. Movies cost the studio way too much to just flop. There's (almost) no way a studio is green lighting a project that costs north of $200 million or more without a guarantee of a profit.
We are part of the problem.
Truth is nothing is truly original. Everything is a rehash of something. It's a matter of taste and perspective that makes them feel original.

I have have a theory, movie are worse than they used to be because people are worse both the ones that make movies and those that watch.
It's boring how many modern movies are just remakes, reboots and sequels (I'll make an exception for adaptations). I wish there could be more original ideas.
Exactly. I know coming up with an original movie can be hard, but it's not impossible.
Some remakes or reboot like IT, 21 and 22 jump street are awesome, but i agreed about originality. When kingsmans Secrets service arrived, i was mind blow because i know nothing about it and it was dazzling (still an adaptation, but you undertand what i mean) ;-)
People keep saying, "Hollywood doesn't make original films anymore." The truth is they do, audiences just don't see them. Look at the box office for Booksmart, Stuber, Ready or Not, Missing Link, Brightburn, Ma, Little, or Midsommer. Did you see any of these in the theater?
There are actually more original films made nowadays than there have ever been before thanks to new technologies. The truth of the matter is this; NOBODY, not you or a vast majority of film goes, actually cares all that much about original films. Film making is a business BEFORE it is an art. If there was money to be made in original films, studios would make original films in a heartbeat. In reality, they are too risky to put too much money into. Original films are risky because we don't go see them. We are not part of the problem. We ARE the problem. Not Hollywood.
Here's what i think. If you can complain about originality bring your own ideas. It's so funny how no one has creativity when it comes down to it.
As an aspiring screenwriter, this list is exactly why I'm creating my own ideas. Excellent video!

Agreed. Everything is a remake reboot or sequel. Nothing is original anymore.
not true, it’s just the original films don’t get enough recognition, if you scroll through the movies coming soon, lots of them are originals
@@mreviewsv554 not "lots" but yeah there are still orginal and good movies like last year's "Upgrade" and "searching"
They don't have the talent for quality movies any more. Not in acting, screenwriting or directing. If they did, we would know about it by now. All they offer is juvenile crap.
One of the worst trailers for one I've seen is quit fittingly, ReBoot: The Guardian Code. We got some weird looking cross of a Power Rangers/Spy Kids ripoff.
Movie-wise, I don't really have a problem with sequels. But with remakes, reboots, etc, its a whole different story
I think the fact that new directors aren’t being given a chance is the #1 reason. But that’s on us as audiences for not giving original ideas a chance.
NAILED IT!!
Also, most acclaimed directors need to start on small film projects (low to modest budget range) to be successful rather than bitching about doing a $75 million dollars high profile, effects driven, half-ass, popcorn entertainment pile of sh*ts!!!
watiki directing ragnarok was a great fucking move.
LastbutNotFirst Giving Jon Watts the MCU Spider-Man films too.
People tend to give critics shit for “liking shitty movies,” but if the audiences had their way, his career would have been DOA after Cop Car.
Yes! Please get rid of shaky can and quick edits. Sooooo annoying!
I second that
God yes!!! The shaky cam is just plain lazy filming. I wish that it would've came & went by now.
@@davidreda1211 It’s not just lazy, it just makes the story more confusing. Not to mention nauseating to look at.
The public needs to take some blame here too. Stop throwing your money away on remakes, sequels, franchise movies and so on. Notice that really great movies bomb only to become cult classic. While big budget flicks can't stand the test of time.
The reason we only get remakes, reboots and sequels is because when somebody makes something original, nobody goes and sees it
KelKen 0706 true
Partly true, it's because the films get overshadowed constantly. Original films come out all the time regardless of whether people see them.
I watch something new if done right and have something interesting to tell.

@@Basedapple I like Scarface
Surprised that the China-Pandering thing didn't show up.
Maybe it's because Watch Mojo is funded by China haha
Raymond Watt
Or maybe they are scared of being threatened.
Because it kinda died down after Transformers started to tank. Chinese flock to superhero movies instead...
Depending on whether the Chinese government approves a film getting exhibited in their country, it can be a lifesaver if a movie bombs here in the States.

And if box office returns or any indicator, they are all cheering or crying happily like they actually all won a new car.
It's a creativity problem really. Ultimately it comes down to the writers. There was an unspoken rule for decades in the film industry: Don't make a sequel unless it will be as strong, unique and creative as the original. Look at some of the greatest sequels of all time (Empire Strikes Back, Aliens, Toy Story 2, etc.) and compare them to the current stream of sequels. Hollywood is rapidly running out of ideas.
scantopup borderlands 2? Axton?
@@wizerboi2250 playing bl3 today
Well, it would help if actually stunning movies with a unique storyline like Cloud Atlas would get a warmer reception by audiences , and Del Torro had been allowed to finish his Hellboy trilogy. Instead we got a reboot that was more of a bad B-movie than a fun action movie, with the soul and original touch the previous versions had.
Cloud Atlas is an amazing movie
Shinarydk Hey, don’t blame others for “Hellboy”. It WAS going to happen when Ron Pearlman got in the makeup for Make-A-Wish or something. The reason it didn’t get made is that Del Toro and the creator, who had become good friends, had a fallout writing the script for 3rd movie that was so bad, it ended their friendship. Blame the creator if anyone because he probably still has some rights to the IP, and let the reboot happen.
I stopped going to the movies for years now!
I don't think I've been to the movies since 2015 where I think I saw age of Ultron. I to this day, don't think it was as good as the first avengers movie. I also went to see that one in 2012.
I personally haven't went to the movies ever since Pixar's Onward. Not just cuz of the pandemic, but also cuz I don't see the point of going to a movie theater anymore. What used to be a fun outdoor activity now seems like a pointless one. Why? Cuz one can easily watch upcoming films online or digitally, and you can watch such new films at your own pace and in your own home. I know it's not the same as waiting for a film to come out in theaters and then go ahead and watch it; I just find it more comforting to watch films at home rather than in a movie theater. Plus, its A LOT cheaper to watch something online or digitally, contrary to going to a movie theater and having to pay 20+ dóllars, or even more just to watch a single film.
Watch old films from the 1910s to 90s maybe 2000s, they are good
@@ahyan6681 2000s were pretty good for movies too! 2015 was when stuff started going down. Maybe even earlier but the last decade with classics like Gladiator, the second matrix and the third mummy by Brendan Fraser are from the 2000s

There are tons of movies from 2017 to 2019 that you can use as example for this video, why do I see movies from 2009-ish to 2014???
The original Mummy will forever be my favourite. I haven't even seen the tom cruise crap, it doesn't exist to me and a lot of people.
It's not a bad movie in it's own terms - But it's an adventure story, not a horror movie. Watch it that way and it's tolerable. (It's also just another version of Bram Stoker's _Jewel of Seven Stars_ - Which flops every time it's filmed.) But what "original mummy"? The 1932 Boris Karloff version or a later reboot?
@@_XR40_ the 1932 it's my best and favorite, but also 1999 did a great job,it's one of rare times that I can say it's good remake.
DONT WATCH the tom cruise one. They dont match up the story line at all!!!
@@_XR40_ It really wasnt, but it doesn't do justice to the actual Mummy.
@@morningstar4813 Really wasn't what? An adaptation of _Jewel of Seven Stars?_ It's just as faithful an adaptation as any of the previous versions _(Blood from the Mummy's Tomb [1971] The Awakening [1980] The Tomb [1986] Bram Stoker's Legend of the Mummy [1998])._ No, it's doesn't follow the novel exactly, but what film ever does? It's a faithful to the novel as any version of Frankenstein ever made, as faithful as any Dracula film ever made.
Is it a good _Mummy_ movie? Nope, but it's an acceptable adventure movie. You just have to watch it the same way you would watch the 1998 _Godzilla_ - As a generic monster movie...
I miss practical effects, there can be a mix of CGI and practical, like a lot of the old horror movies were great for the death scenes even the movie monsters were fantastic
I think in the past, we had more experienced conscripted veterans whom knew what deaths were like so they would consult directors from the 80s and 90s how the death would look in real life - cause the veteran had seen everything.
Has anyone noticed the gaming industry is in a similar state? In some aspects anyway.
Everything being CGI in video games is a big problem.
@@CSManiac33 dude cmon

@@scoobyraj2732 Yup...
Underwhelmed is just the general feeling I get from movies lately. They just feel like double length TV episodes
"Pluck my life" gave me a chuckle.
You found that funny?
I thought it was just me! 😂
The CG is gotten so out of hand that it doesn't even look good any more
Hence why Joker is amazing. No CGI or massive action sequences
Just good, honest and terrifying storytelling
I haven’t watched a single movie in the past few years , but I can’t wait for this one .
But it's still a reboot/remake to a certain degree
I enjoyed Red Sparrow for the same reasons.
Yeah, but Joker isn't original. Movies don't need to be original to be good. People need to stop whining.
Were just forgetting how to make an engaging story, and wasting a lot of money in the process
Before I add this to my favorites, the video made me realize that even though we have some of the greatest movies ever, sometimes they can be flawed by their own trailers or even their posters
Movies are indeed getting worse. Hollywood crucified favorites like Hellboy and The Mummy, making too many sequels instead of leaving one movie like Transformers, putting too much super CGI over storytelling like The Hobbit, taking something animated and turning it live action like Garfield and Avatar: The Last Airbender, and using young adult books like I Am Number Four and The Darkest Minds to earn a moderate result. Too many reboots and remakes, that are not as superior as the original, ect.
Thank you, WatchMojo. You've been a good teacher. I never even realized it until i watched this video.
Edit: Thanks a lot Hollywood. Now I will never look at trailers again or see them the same way again
Its cuz Hollywood executives wanna make money rather than art
I completely agree with #1, SO ANNOYING!!!!
What does NOT help is that many of these sequels are recycled plots or just lazy writing. Compare them to some of the greatest sequels ever made (Empire Strikes Back, Aliens, Toy Story 2 etc.). Those were fantastic stories with fresh themes, yet faithful in values to the original. Most of the newer ones have almost none of that.
Disney is number 1 on this list lol, they are doing it.
"Story telling 101, your story needs to have a satisfying ending." Someone should have told that to Shippidge.
Stories with cliffhangers (without sequels) are way much better,
i am so sick of disney live action remakes. with the exception of Aladdin, they have almost all paled in comparison to the originals or just flat out sucked
YES, this is exactly what I have been thinking and telling people for the last couple of years man. That half the movies they make today are stupid/unnecessary sequels, prequels, reboots, remakes, and adaptations. Hollywood is literally out of ideas now and are just puffing out dust from their ass’s, hoping something good comes out.
It's a whole cycle of paying actors too much and adding too much CG -> rising price of tickets -> less people go to the movies and those who do mostly go to blockbuster movies -> only blockbusters get coverage -> people don't hear about smaller original movies -> since people are not giving love to smaller original movies, studios are banking on bigger movies that can franchised and safe, and they add bigger names -> ticket price rises....
Political correctness taking it too far would be one of my picks. Leads to too many butchering of original characters, changes in plots that don’t make sense, and glaringly obvious castings to suit a political stance rather than using a person who fits the role itself.
I have really gone like the past 5 years, I already could tell by age 25 how bad things were. Since I spent a lot of times watching films from previous decades-
Alright I love the MCU as much as the next guy but WatchMojo drops to their knees with their mouth wide open for it
You forgot "the film is going the "pandering to the cool kids route." And that is NEVER a good sign, I turn to the Lorax and various live-action cartoon adaptations for that. At least Paddington and Paddington 2 got the memo and stuck with heart over fads.
I stoped watching most movies when they started changing the cast
That's a problem with sequels and ongoing franchises.
Making original content is sometimes risky when you consider today's "cancel culture". Writers and directors can't be fully creative without offending a group of progressives over sexual orientation, gender, or race.
But the people from Hollywood are also pushing for cancel culture, seeing as actors go on Twitter and support it.
What exactly is being excluded from movies that you’d like to see? I think creativity can still flow and the writers can remain decent, I mean take Harry Potter and lord of the rings for example, amazing and risky original content but some of the most successful of all time. Also recently I honestly haven’t seen many people angered by offensive content but rather the actual garbage people that sometimes write that content ... because who we support and give our money to is important
That is so true.
Or, when companies aren't willing to spend comparatively minor amounts of money on projects for diverse audiences. Because everyone is different, and can have different opinions on the same thing.
@Tricks Are for pimps Kids was supposed to be a Miramax movie. But the autonomy that was supposed to exist under Disney ownership disappeared and Miramax had to sell Kids elsewhere.
The only decent and original movies I've seen in the last 10-15 years have mainly come from Christopher Nolan.... Inception, Interstellar, The Prestige, Dunkirk, Memento and of course his comic book movies differ significantly from traditional film making. Another several good/ original movies that come to mind: Annihilation, Ex Machina, Nightcrawler, There will be Blood (Anything related to Daniel Day-Lewis is gold), The Wolf of Wall Street and Gran Torino are all perfect examples of original movies that will hopefully one day become classics.
Don't forget Her from Spike Jonze, Phantom Thread from Paul Thomas Anderson, La La Land from Damien Chazelle, Lady Bird from Greta Gerwig, and The Shape of Water from Guillermo Del Toro.
Those movies that I've mentioned are great and amazing. They're destined to be classics.
@@ajpat9620 Yes, they certainly are. I'm still yet to watch a couple of those, but I agree with you.

@@CragusMaximus19 What the heck is Ugandan Knuckles??? Is it a movie or Tv Series???
I'd argue that the DCEU should totally be allowed to be further fleshed out since that's the way the comic book universe works. The MonsterVerse is fine too.
Keenan Kornegay The monster verse is awesome all 3 movies were outstanding KOTM is the best. It's a shame critics couldn't enjoy it because they obviously hate Godzilla mostly the Showa era which KOTM was based off. I've watched every Godzilla movie & each one is close to my heart no matter how cheesy they are. Legendary is now the second best Godzilla studio with Toho still no 1 I really hope the Monster verse continues after G vs K next year they have thousands of possiblities in terms of story & which Kaiju to introduce.

Thanks mate
Thank you!! Three shots for honor
When you used to watch a movie, it was a short treat: full of plot, diverse personality characters, and interesting storyline. Nowadays it’s like you have to be indoctrinated to understand
There is little to no originality. Hollywood is fresh out of ideas.
Sure seems that way doesn't it?
@Michael Anderson, I don't know about that. What about John Wick? That was once an original idea. Now we have John Wick 4 on the way. John Wick started off as a fresh idea or something like that. They didn't really end the first John Wick in a way that a second movie would be made or even a third movie.
Not to mention that comedies these days are not as good as they used to be anymore. Comedies are supposed to be funny, not be perverted or vulgar. Raunchy comedies have lost their touch. Comedies need to be smart and funny and original, and not rely so much on vulgarity and raunchiness.
Comedy is dying in the film industry. Hollywood is driving itself into the ground.
Right? Most "comedies" these days aren't comedies, cause they're not funny at all. "Jokes" about farting, pissing or puking - who finds those funny?
Yikes.
@@dorotagniedziejko7841 I know right?

True

But for the time being cinema is dying
I guess number 4 does include blatant political agendas, excessive and unnecessary political correctness towards everything.
DarkHawk 317 Thank You. My thoughts exactly!!!
It’s the reason so many unnecessary reboots are even being created
Yep.
I'd actually make the political agendas and PC crap as it's own separate thing/number spot on the list. Just because of how huge it is nowadays. I'd say it goes beyond studio interference. Everyone in front of the camera and behind the camera are pushing this crap even before studio interference kicks in and gets involved. Heck, that's probably how the movies get greenlit by the studio to begin with. They see that the writers or directors or actors or producers went ahead and included all the political agendas/PC crap before they (the studios) could. The studio interference comes in different forms. Like more action and strip away any dialogue heavy scenes and scenes that help build the plot because they want more action in the movie than an actual plot and character development. I'm working on a screenplay. It's a slow burn/slow build movie. The first half is all dialogue heavy scenes and setting up the plot and characters. I could see the movie studio interfering to butcher all the plot/story building and character building to turn it into a fully blown action movie and to get to the second half of the movie ASAP, which is where all the action takes place. I'd say the screenplay I'm working on could be a movie that is 2 hours 45 minutes minimum without end credits. But I'm pretty sure a movie studio would butcher the living heck out of it to make it a 1 hour 55 minute movie to maybe 2 hours 5 minute movie without end credits. And with how I'm writing it, EVERY scene is important/needed. You remove one scene and the whole things falls apart. And if I feel it's not important, I don't bother to write it in to the screenplay. I take care of stuff in the writing process/early on.
It's actually sometimes the opposite. Take Men in Black International for example. The director wanted to include a statement on immigration and asylum (which would make sense in a movie where aliens seek refuge on earth - District 9 did a very similar thing) but the studio didn't want that because the subject was deemed too controversial. So actually it happens that studio interference prevents movies from being political.
My complaint about movies. Playing it a bit too safe. Rather than letting the films standing out on their own. You can't judge a film by its title.
Too much cgi , trailers revealing too much , & endless remakes & reboots are the ones i agree with the most.

Chase Hedgee Hollywood is a risk-averse town because losing money is costly for a studio (look at “Heaven’s Gate”, a film that bombed so badly that it led to “United Artists” declaring bankruptcy).
At the end of the day, Hollywood is a business and if you can make a lot of money with little risk involved (see every live-action remake of a Disney animated film), why not take that route?
I agree with you that if you look at the “top 10 highest grossing movies of the 2010s” vs. “the top 10 highest grossing movies of the 80s and 90s”, you’ll notice that in the 80s and 90s, there was an *even distribution* of original AND non-original (sequels, remakes, comic books, literary adaptations) films in the top 10 lists, whereas nowadays, the majority of the films in that list are either a sequel, remake, reboot, or comic book (the only “original” movie to make it in the “Top 10 highest grossing films of 2019” List is “Us”).
@@beethovensfidelio that business mentality is what started the main problem we all gonna endure the next centuries/millenia.
c sh Hollywood has always been a business first and foremost. That’s not to say they don’t care about quality as well, but a lot of the criticisms that the video makes are nothing new, particularly *studio interference, prioritizing star power over talent, and Hollywood churning out sequels, remakes, and franchises.*
There’s nothing wrong with wanting to make money just as long as you’re not cynical about it. You can still care about making money while also wanting to turn in a good product, such as with the Disney animated films.
So far this year (2019) there’s been only two original properties to debut at number 1 at the box office. ONLY TWO. Every other number 1 film was a sequel or remake of some kind.
(The two original properties to debut number 1 this year are “Us” and “Good Boys”. Literally everything else has been a remake, reboot or sequels)
Isn't Us the sequel to Get out?
@@MrX-dc5mz I think it's a similar concept or a spin off, I may be wrong
Agree with every single one of these points. Studios are making way too much money for the crap they're putting out these days.
The fault lies with Hollywood!
They're always doing something to appeal to the whatever their market research thinks "best appeals" to today's audiences. For example; rather than just leave well enough alone, Disney decides to dig up their classics and allow modern film makers to mess around with them because they ASSUME today's generation won't enjoy the originals.
Unless they've actually seen them for themselves; ow do we know they won't love the original versions of Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast or any other iconic film?
Another bad decision Hollywood is making is basing all their movies off some dumb trend. For example, putting actors of a different race/ethnicity into a non-colored/non-ethnic role (ex. Jamie Foxx as Little John) or turning one character or a WHOLE cast of characters into females (ex. the 2018 Ghostbusters.)
Recently, I've heard that people wanted Joaquin Phoenix's version of the Joker to be female. But...here's a newsflash for whoever wanted that...THERE'S ALREADY A "FEMALE JOKER" AND HER NAME IS HARLEY QUINN!
Not to mention the fact that there's far too much use of explosions, CG and grunge music used in films that don't need it. Seriously; when I think of fantasy movies, I think of O Fortuna or the orchestral stylings of John Williams. What I DON'T want is Nin Inch Nails playing in Lord of the Rings or Marilyn Manson playing in Chronicles of Narnia.
Fact is...it's not just Hollywood that's gotten dumber, it's some circles of the viewing audience as well. People have such low attention spans that they won't sit through a three hour movie, unless it has explosions or sexual content
Well, sexual content is now "degrading to women" so that's not an issue anymore. So I'd say that explosions, action sequences and out of place humor is what audiences want nowadays
And thor rangnorock comedy.
