Close Encounters, The Color Purple, Empire of the Sun, Minority Report, Munich...

Close Encounters was overrated and boring IMO, haven't seen the rest of them.

Jurassic World is kinda a meta film, the entire point of the movie is so obvious.  People say its a dumb movie without really asking why it is.  Its a movie about how filmmakers and marketers are always striving for bigger and better ways to keep wowing modern movie going audiences as they get more and more bored of the same shit over and over again.  In this movie, there is a giant super hybrid dinosaur with unique and outlandish abilities that wows general audiences while simultaneously destroying what people loved about the original movies.  Its basically a critique of modern blockbusters and moviegoing audiences.

 

Like, remember when superhero movies were solo movies until The Avengers came along and wowed everyone?  Hell, theres even gonna be cinematic universes with other franchises like Kong and Godzilla.  Everyone is gonna be is gonna be a cinematic universe now meaning "biggerer and betterer" like Indominous Rex.

 

Jurassic World > Abadah and The Avengers.

there's like a few throwaway lines about how cynical the movie is just to help appease as a nod to the insecure "i hate franchises!!" weirdos who actually don't hate franchises and to trick 'em into having takes like this. if it was actually a good critique there'd be for real narratively subversive elements, which there aren't. it says those franchises are lame, but it's like a jealous schoolboy that wants to be them really.

Let's be honest, cinematic universes (and crossovers) got run into the ground back in the '30s and '40s, well before now.


Very true, but recently that's the one that really started it and it still stalled out for awhile after that.

Only very few of Spielberg's films were actually thought provoking IMO.

 

Schindler's List, and then what else? 

 

They're entertaining, but kind of shallow.

Honest and brilliant film maker. His productions are not shallow, but very educational with stories leaning against moral sense. Some of them ("Color Purple", "Bridge of Spies") are works which work within the classic holloywood context whereas others (Schindler, Jaws, maybe even ET) are groundbreakers.

And don't say he's sentimental: when somebody dies the character just dies, out of the script forever. Never

ever

I mean, sure, but why not just bypass that subtext and make an earnestly good movie in the first place? At least when Scorcese was doing the same trick with Wolf his filmmaking ability made it compelling regardless.

Jurassic World is clearly not too liked on this site. Though it had a 3 multiplier off 208m opening showing audiences liked it. Based on this site though you think movies like Jurassic World are hated and movies like Pacific Rim, Godzilla, and the Ghostbusters remake are some of the most beloved films of recent times

That's a weird 3 examples. I'd say the site is pretty split on all 3 of those.
