Hollywood goes craptastic

Recently, a lot of movies in Hollywood are getting pretty cliche'd and we are really in need of something that extravagant and amazing. There are too many things that Hollywood produce are horrible nowadays (except for Crank and other Statham movies. Tongue) What we need next is something epic, magical, sci fi and what made the 80s and 90s a great period for movies. It's the awesomeness of the human imagination.

The last fantastical journey/epic thing we saw on the screen was probably Pirates of The Carribean which I thought was funny and truly a journey film. So was the Hellboy adaptations and LOTR.



The ingredients that made Hollywood great before:

1)Magic-Yes, magic is what the new generation needs. We need something that would blow your minds and leave your jaws wide open. I really hope that the Dr. Strange adaptation would be pretty good and so is the upcoming Thor adaptation. Magic and action could be combined and people should tap into this idea.



2)Extravagant sci fi ideas-Look at Star Wars. The new Star Trek and Terminator movie doesn't counts, we need a new original one. Something that would leave us awestruck. Something that would leave us amaze on how amazing the galaxy and what sci fi could do. Remember the days of Aliens and Predator? Yes, liked AVP but we need somethnig fresh that reminds us of Alien, Predator, Terminator, Star Wars and many more.





3)The adventure-An adventure is what makes a person inspired. Adventure stories like Indiana Jones really made me stunned when I was a kid, making me watching Harisson Ford screaming, damn that was awesome!



4)Ridiculousness- Crank 1 and 2 did it, why not other Hollywood movies? Sometimes you need to throw realism out, if not we wouldn't have Rambo or Stan Lee wouldn't be creating the Spiderman and now they want to do Spiderman movies more softer so that the audience can relate. We don't want that! We want something crazy that makes us glue to our sits. Make Venom jump 50 metres into the air and smash Spidey. That is what we want to see.



All Hollywood wants nowadays is something that is realistic, we want something crazy and innovative. If we wanted something realistic, we would read Times magazine. Yes, there are good movies like Watchmen etc but we need something more crazier and original from hollywood. When would Hollywood return to their Golden Age of Sci-fi. I hope they won't destroy the next Deadpool movie with ultra realism. I wan't him to wacky, wise cracking and explosive.

PS/Hollywood, there's a reason why your later James Bond movies sucked harder than an octopus and Shoot 'Em Up was an underground favourite.
