The Avengers - Got extremely high ratings from critics and fans alike, but because it was too "fun" and lacked "great acting performances" the movie has alread been tossed to the side and was omitted from most "best of 2012" lists. So how does an inferior action/sci fi movie like Avatar get nominated for best picture but The Avengers is largely ignored? Thats what happens when the people running the show try to keep relevance with the young audience while trying to uphold a "better then thou" attitude that celebrates mostly inferior movies from cinemas past. They suffer from the biggest case of nostaliga known to man and yet these people are looked up to as a guiding light. Really, did anbody expect The Avengers to step foot anywhere near inflated "classics" like "Sunshine"?

Hollywood has realized the genreal audience is too dumb or too lazy to think for themselves. So they've set the rules and many gladly play by them. Thats sad.

Sucker Punch - Try liking this movie without being labeled a violent video game loving 17 year old. Funny thing is the same people who bash this movie are probably right now slobering over yet another overly violent bloodbath Tarantino revenge movie while accepting the foul language in such movies including numerous uses of the n word as "high art" while Sucker Punch's mini skirt heroines are too trashy for their infallible eyes.

Suckerpunch's failure highlights the general Audience as well as "critics" who've proped themselves up on enough hot air to melt the ice caps inability to intellectually absorb and understand a movie that doesnt fall under a tried and test story arc. The claim they want something new and when they are given something that blends genres they immediately reject then turn right around and blame Hollywood for being too stale and out of ideas.
