The Soulless 'Blockbusters'

[StevenHarvey1990]

I find myself perplexed how it is 'Hollywood Cinema' is so, so backwards. I always remembered studios being frugal, conservative and cautious with big budgets to operate a low risk, high reward system but recently they've spent Billions on so many soulless CGI heavy flops. R.I.P.D. costing $130m is just ridiculous, not to mention The Lone Ranger and Pacific Rim.

The last movie with a budget over $100m that I liked was Avengers. It still managed to feel intimate and I liked that. The CGI didn't take over.

I used to look forward to Summer for the 'big' movies but the majority of them are totally devoid of quality and heart now. Anyone else find themselves starting to really hate these so called 'Blockbusters'?

On paper, Man Of Steel, The Lone Ranger & Pacific Rim are all right up my street but I find myself thinking... "I should like this, why am I not liking this!?!"

Is it the cause of bad film-making? Anybody else find these 'Blockbusters' becoming more and more soulless, or is it just me?
