Are there any movies you like which are an exception to those?
Comment on Has anobody seen Odyssey?
thethrilloftime69@feddit.online 1 month agoYes that’s true but I have a pretty simple algorithm for movies that were “made to sell tickets”
- franchise movies, especially if the story ended already
- comic book movies
- remakes
- movies based on a property that doesn’t translate well into movies(video games, certain kinds of books) -

I liked Nolan’s Dark Knight Trilogy… Actually just the first 2.

Hm…I can see your angle but some of tjose can be fun to still watch.
Movies can’t always be about deep thought 100% philosophical question of life. That’s tiring for me.

I do want to point out that “legitimate artistry” doesn’t equal “deep thought 100% philosophical” all the time or even most of the time.
Like I think Indiana Jones is legitimate artistry. Same with The Terminator. Or Alien. Or Mad Max. Even Sinners is legitimate artistry. Get Out.
I haven’t seen it yet, but I get the impression that “The Odyssey” was made because Nolan thought the subject matter was interesting.
People have made cool movies for the love of the game forever. I think the big difference is “did an executive come up with this idea in a boardroom?” Or “did a real creative person come up with this idea?”
