Sick of the superhero movies

Hollywood keeps churning out all of these boring and bland superhero movies every year and of course the public eats it up.
But for the serious film lovers like myself out there, we hate these movies and what they stand for. Lets get some originality back on the big screen!
It really sucks when every theater in my state has the same boring action movies but its so difficult to find a theater showing intelligent films like Only Lovers Left Alive and Under the Skin.

I've been saying that since forever. They've basically killed off the action movie genre.

No one cares what you think. Don't watch them if you don't like them.

I will agree with you that I wish Hollywood created more original content, not based on prior works.
But i don't know if there ever really was a time when Hollywood catered to the "serious" film lover.
Hollywood wants to appeal to the average audience member, not the elite.
I sympathize with you, but I fear that you may be eternally frustrated.

Only Lover Left Alive
Captain America: The Winter Soldier
Yeah, if I were running a studio I would for certain make your fricking movie over a superhero one.
I'd put out a god damned superhero movie every week and never look back.

I think it's pretty cool the way these Marvel movies are coming and the way they are connected. They definitely did it right.

You clearly aren't a serious film lover based off your OP

God damn I hate movie snobs

quote:this isn't really true from a certain point of view. Movie theater viewership has been flat for about 10 years. This is why prices have gone up for tickets and popcorn. They are squeezing every drop they can out of the people who go to movies.

You bad poster. Very bad.

I'm essentially a year behind on movies because I have a two year old, but can't a guy watch both?
I mean, I enjoyed both Iron Man 3 as well as Upstream Color and The Past. I watched both Pacific Rim and Fruitvale Station. It's not like the existence of one prevents the other.
And small art films have always only come to the big cities. It's not like the suburbs and small towns were getting the Kiss of the Spider Woman back in the 80s. If you want to see art films in the theater, move to a big city. If not, get it on DVD or stream it on Netflix. Movies are more available than they have ever been in the entire history of film.

FIFY
I'd say up to 70% of films in movies released in theaters are boring TO ME.
I would assume the same percentage for you.
For you, that percentage includes Superhero Movies. For me it doesn't.
It's called taste, and we all have different types.

First, if you hate a genre of film just based on origin of media, that's kind of lame and tells me you don't like film.
Second, comic book themselves are one of the most original mediums to exist. From Superman to GotG from X-Men and Swamp Thing to Blankets, 100 Bullets, Sin City and Y the Last Man, even Maus. That isn't a fair assessment.

I will agree with this. If you don't live a major metro area (NY, LA, Chicago, Atlanta, Dallas) It can sometimes be impossible to catch an indie film.
But that's been the case for decades. This did not come about because of superhero movies.

Although I don't have the balls to start a thread about it (kudos to you), I completely agree.
I enjoy some of the superhero movies, but now they are just going over board. shite like Antman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern 2 (after the first one was miserable), Batman vs fricking Superman (I mean come on), etc...
shite needs to stop.

I agree, need super villain movies. Show their origins in detail.
