All this stuff would be fine & dandy, if I were 10 and hadn't seen it all a thousand times before! I am so tired of paying hard-earned cash for an inferior hollywood product.
I wish hollywood would adopt the old country/western axiom about "all frosting and no cake". It goes something like, "if a song can't be performed with a single voice and a guitar, it just ain't much of a song". If they would write so that the story could be communicated on a stage with a dozen straight back chairs, and a kitchen table (remember 12 Angry men?), when they poured on all the gravy, the story would carry itself, and the gravy would be just that... gravy. Lately most of hollywood's output seems to be all gravy, and no meat and potatoes.
