You just don't like the entire genre of movies?

I suppose not. And I would argue the genre was somewhat misrepresented in the marketing. I thought it would be a semi-serious period piece. Instead, it was lowest-common-denominator silliness.

quote:

That's like complaining that diehard sucks because there was too much bullshite terrorism and action sequences.

Diehard has never pretended to be anything other than Diehard.

Since then, not much. It takes a lot in the era of modern home theater to get me out. Notably, I saw Dunkirk last week - probably the first one since Interstellar.
