Is it just me, or is the average movie nowadays really boring?
Maybe I'm misremembering, but I think that it used to be that if I wanted
to rent a movie and there was nothing "big" at the moment I hadn't seen
already, I could pick up almost any random movie and it would be at the
very least average, and usually relatively enjoyable.
Nowadays, however, it seems that when I pick a random movie, it's just
outright boring. It doesn't matter if it has big names and known actors.
Recent examples include:
- The Town. The cover promised a lot, but it was just outright boring.
- Setup. Known actors, promising premise, really boring movie.
- Son of no one. Lingering somewhere between boring and average.
- Killer elite. Known actors, lots of action scenes, boring as hell!
- Contagion. Known actors, interesting premise, lingering somewhere
between boring and average. At least the plot was relatively easy to
follow (unlike with many of those other ones).
I think I'll just stick to big blockbusters, computer-animated movies
and comedies. They seldom disappoint.

It's not just you. It's all of us (about to be) in the 40's.
Stick to books and you should do fine.

No, not just you. And you are a bit late in noticing. :-P

Nope ... I seem to prefer older movies as well. If you get a chance
watch some of those Clint Eastwood westerns. They are full of great
quotes, for example from The Outlaw Josie Wales ... Are you gonna pull
those pistols or whistle Dixie? ... classic!

I can highly recommend Hugo. Just go see it. It's not about anything you
think it's about.

I guess that falls into the "blockbuster" category. But yes - I guess
it's a must for anyone who likes movie pictures. Make sure to watch it
in a 3D theater.

This is one of those movies which I thought looked terrible from the
trailer, but actually ended up enjoying when I watched it.

Since I lack free will of my own, I did as commanded.

Another vote for it, can't go wrong on Scorcese. Even my daughter
enjoyed, despite being quite longer than the average movies she watches.
watch in 3D, it was made for it.
