The script goes straight to the trash...
For me, movies with poorly developed scripts aren't movies at all. I haven't seen the third part, only the first two, but I would briefly describe them like this: "AAA! These are huge robots! We're all going to die! Someone save us!" Well, perhaps you could also add: "Everyone, appreciate how a young guy and a sexy woman twice his age run away from the robots." These are remarkably terrible films.

What makes people watch them?

+1 Ment. There are many similar movies, and they are all boring and depressing. They don't appeal to either the mind or the heart. Just like most new games, which are made for a specific audience.

Vayshan, it's boredom. Terrible, awful boredom, and accidentally stumbling upon these movies on TV.
So, are you intentionally torturing your brain by forcing yourself to watch these masterpieces? There's a whole class of films that can be grouped under the collective title "Summer Blockbuster." They usually have a linear, simple plot, the characters don't always act appropriately, and so on. The list could go on. But they have beautiful, impressive visuals, and these films are designed for people who can perceive a film as an attraction and derive aesthetic pleasure from watching action scenes that grip you to your seat, much like people who derive aesthetic pleasure from contemplating, say, Malevich's square. That is, they exist so that the viewer can simply have a pleasant time without thinking about the characters or their motivations. Moreover, these films should be watched in a movie theater, not on a depressing TV. And they are definitely not designed for analyzing the plot. But for some reason, there are always people who try to prove to everyone that the film is terrible because "the character acted stupidly," "the plot is not well thought out," and in general, "that's not how it happens." That is, they are looking for something in the film that simply cannot be there, and frankly, it looks more like an attempt to present themselves as some kind of critic and connoisseur of the beautiful (no offense), instead of turning off their brain and having a fun time with friends at a screening. If I want to watch a film with a plot and deep meaning, I'll go to a completely different movie.

Over the past week, I only watched a very old film by Guy Ritchie, "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels." I haven't been watching TV much lately.

That is... a movie.
Well, yes, that's me, but I don't see anything wrong with it. I need to be able to remember a movie and say to myself: "Yes, I didn't waste my time. I have something left in my head from watching it, warm, pleasant memories."
P.S. I definitely wouldn't go to the cinema for something like that; I wouldn't want to pay for it.

Vayshan, that's enough. You're already trying to find logical contradictions where there are none. I've expressed my opinion, and it's inappropriate to try to prove anything here, if only because of the topic's title.
Psychology is a very interesting science in some ways; sometimes it's just interesting to understand what motivates people when they perform certain actions, which are sometimes strange and ambiguous. This is common on the internet, and the easiest way to get an answer in a forum format is through academic interest, nothing more.

Regarding the topic:
I watched the movie Inglourious Basterds the other day, the latest film by a cult director of our time; his name doesn't even need to be mentioned, but just in case - Quentin Tarantino. I really liked the movie; it has an interesting plot and charismatic actors, especially the characters played by B. Pitt and C. Waltz. Some scenes are extremely tense, and the action sometimes develops so rapidly that you don't even have time to understand what's happening. I recommend it to a wide range of movie lovers. Not recommended for pedants.

I was confused when reading Mr. Alexdoublesmile's post. The categorization by genre and the selection of horror films are appalling.
With a lot of stretching, you could try to fit it in. But overall - facepalm. Sorry, are you writing about this as a historical film?
OMG! A fun adventure. Not Indiana Jones, not Star Wars. Right, they're probably from a different genre.
However, the next phrase put an end to it: "Watch normal movies, and then post lists."

P.S. You're talking to a corpse. I couldn't finish watching it; I fell asleep a third of the way through.
Personally, I found Troy to be a very worthy film... One of the best in its genre, perhaps, because of the ideas that the film's script conveys and the values that are brought to the forefront.
Regarding Indiana Jones and Sherlock, I just forgot, as did many others, probably, about other good films - because I was writing on the fly.
In fact, it's probably silly to think that there is an objective assessment of anything, because it depends exclusively on the criteria for evaluation, which in turn depends on the desired result. And it is individual for everyone. Films are no exception.
For example, for me, any comedy, although I like to watch them, doesn't leave a noticeable impression, as well as any horror film, which is why the low ratings. Don't take it to heart - there are as many opinions as there are people. I wouldn't want to impose my own. I'm just sharing my thoughts.

And there's no need to say that they are disliked because of their genius and ability to earn gold. It's all utter nonsense.
Read history. Almost all wars happen because one is richer than the other. It's funny to look at the history of the Jews themselves. Their state only emerged in the second half of the 20th century. And it's easier to offend the homeless, so they were driven everywhere. Moreover, they really know how to be cunning and make money.

I know Jews personally, albeit remotely; we played together in Guild Wars, chatted on Skype, they are normal guys. By the way, they are all patriots there, even though their state is less than a century old, unlike our "pseudo-patriots." When there was another escalation in the Gaza Strip, they all volunteered for the army, even one of the three girls signed up, fortunately, they all returned safe and sound.

And in general, as one of my colleagues said, in modern society, you can't speak badly about Jews, about blacks, and about gays, but you can freely insult a normal Slavic person.

On the topic: I rewatched "Dragonheart," it's still a great movie. One of the best fantasy films, in my opinion. And the best film in terms of portraying dragons.

The first one is good, yes. After about ten years, its small scale becomes noticeable even to the naked eye, but that's not important.
The second one is worse. It's full of bad jokes about dragon snot and burps.

The most interesting thing is that Arabs are also Semites)))
I agree that there are no bad nations or peoples, but in some, the percentage of "badness" is especially high.

Yesterday, I watched the movie "Shelter" with Julianne Moore and Richard Gere (wow, he also seems to be a Semite:D). At the beginning of the film, everything develops very interestingly, but then the script gradually veers into mysticism and religious themes... The film is cool, even if it's only worth watching once, but it's still interesting.

If everything is going to hell around you, it doesn't mean everyone is shitting their pants and running for the bushes. Yes, there are such people in every nation. The shout of "Hooray!" isn't about pathos at all, but a way to cheer yourself and those around you, a signal to attack. And don't think that just because people went into battle shouting "For Stalin!!", it means they were sheep and fell under the influence of the ideology of that time.
The shout of "Hooray" and the ideology of the Soviet era have nothing in common. It's even hard to say in what era or with which people this battle cry originated...
I found some memoirs of a contemporary, one of many such accounts; I won't provide proof-links, Google can help.
The attack is a shock. A person changes psychologically completely. They understand and feel absolutely nothing. Because: any moment, one more second—and a bullet, a mine… That's it!!! The man is gone. Without a leg, without an arm, or killed. A person thinks only of this. He's not thinking about Comrade Stalin. He doesn't remember his mother. Well, no, he does remember his mother (laughs), but a different one… F...u...c...k...!!! Yes, if a man screamed anything during an attack, it was pure profanity. Nobody shouted during the attack: "For the Motherland! For Stalin!". That is propaganda lie. Any honest frontline soldier will confirm it.

What does antisemitism have to do with this?! If they are Jews, does that mean nothing can be said about them?!!
I'm sick of this nonsense about the "chosenness" of this nation. Say one word about them and that's it: they'll bring up antisemitism, xenophobia, and all sorts of other crap and nonsense invented to brainwash people. What other nation besides Jews gets offended at being called a Jew?!! Would a Welshman or some Basque be offended if called a Welshman or a Basque?
History shows who is worth what. Look at what happened to them over the last 2 thousand years at least, and everything will become clear... How did such an attitude toward them develop? That all people are meanies and they are so kind, good, and fluffy? If that's the case, why is it that everyone who lives side by side with them, sooner or later, at best kicks them out, and at worst destroys them completely from the youngest to the oldest. And don't say it's because of their genius and ability to earn gold that they aren't liked. That's all dogbullshit. No one stops anyone else from working and prospering. No one would destroy an entire people for these reasons: it's at least illogical...

That's exactly what "neutral" is. But you shouldn't be neutral. How long can we apply tolerance and forbearance and so on? Enough already...
People who openly express opinions against Jews are called antisemites, that's all; just a term, in principle not carrying a condemning tone. Generally, since they haven't been liked since ancient times, there really must be a reason for it; perhaps in their time they should have toned down their ego and stopped calling themselves the god-chosen people. And in general, if it comes to that, it's not the Jews who kill Russians with impunity, not they who are then easily covered by "their own," not they who brazenly drive around in Porsches with KRA series plates (Google it, if interested) ignoring all the rules, not to them we pay subsidies (read - tribute) for relative peace, while the authorities feed us lines about tolerance. Tolerance, translated, is forbearance, and people wipe their feet on the forbearing. I'm saying this to point out there are national problems far more serious than the problem (is it even a problem?) of Jews.
To avoid completely devolving into flood:
I watched the movie "Battle: Los Angeles" yesterday; at the time I even wanted to go to the cinema, but my studies got in the way, which in principle was for the best, the movie is pretty mediocre. And the aliens somehow don't look like conquerors of interstellar space, getting beaten even by ordinary small arms. Well, at least they aren't from Earth, and even less so computer viruses, as in some movies of this genre.

Watched "Space Jam". Why didn't I watch Michael Jordan movies sooner? I'm going to go watch them now. And I still need to watch the third "Transfomers" movie...

I've rewatched the Avatar: The Last Airbender cartoon for the hundredth time. Can you believe it? I still enjoy it, even though I can recite all the lines before the characters even say them!
Пара банок пива, снаряд дешевого пойла
Ракета прущего дыма и море свободы
Серьезные помыслы, прущие скорости, мама с вопросами:
- Куда ты дел совесть? Стань взрослым.
Я в ответ молчал виновато
- Посмотри на брата, разве трудно быть нормальным?
Им не понять меня, не поменять меня
Хотели поломать меня - им не поймать меня
В чем моя вина?
Думал бежать отсюда, хлопал дверями злобно -
Обида-паскуда
Мама била посуду и тихо плакала
Молилась за меня Богу - свечи ставила
