If you can make Avengers Infinity War, a new Star Wars, etc. and guarantee a huge box office run- or you can make a different film that's far harder to convince audiences to go see, what would you do? This naive expectation for multi billion dollar film studios to act like anything other than a multi billion dollar business will only lead to disappointment.
Yes, Transformers are bad films- but not because they're sequels. They just have poor writing and direction, with little focus on narrative, prioritizing the action. They're also enjoyed by hundreds of thousands of movie goers who want a good popcorn flick.
The insinuation that we don't live in an era of "good film" is a bit disingenuous though. More movies are made now than ever before between the major studios, Netflix, Amazon, and Hulu. If you don't like sequels and large franchises, there's enough content available to still never run out of stuff to watch.
Every big studio has their major tent pole releases, but they also do smaller budget films not based in a pre existing franchise. Problem is- these movies don't make money. It's very rare for these to have a large box office return, merchandise sales, or launch a new franchise.
) has anyone mentioned the other way DL's SWGE will probably be better than WDW's?... .... Better actors.
