christ gwahir it is true. most films that are billed as "action" flicks are 2 and a half hour special effects extravaganzas with shallow characters, and plots that would be forgettable if they weren't so simple. They often too are nauseatingly moralizing.

hey, you're the one that summed up the "strikingly obvious" ways in which many popular movies suck, not me.

but it's also not fair to lump "the last 20 years of mainstream film" into that category, because as we'd all agree, some truly great movies have come out of mainstream film in the last 20 years.

yeah, yeah, it's called hyperbole, big whoop, wanna fightaboutit?

i would add that the best films are often less popular among audiences, but of course that would be "strikingly obvious."
