Most Hollywood film's are terribly generic and lack class.
It's like they don't want to see anything new. The Dark Night took a nice break away from it (obviously based on the comic book though, not hard writing a script when the foundations already exist), but script was good, action scenes...generic.
I would like to say that films like Sin City and 300 were exceptions, and they were in a film sense, but despite directors getting a lot of praise, read the comic book. Most of the scene's are copies of the illustrations, even the colour and composition. They didn't exactly have a hard job making these films. The script and storyboard was already done, and they did most..or was it all..using green screen.
I love my BBC films, I love my Film4's but I am from the UK so I might be being patriotic. However there is a certain finesse to them. I have seen a couple of British war films for example and they were brutally honest and I like that. Even seen a couple of subtitled Russian ones, again brutally honest, scripts well written (even if translated) and no overdone action scenes Mr Rambo.
The amount of sequels and remakes just give's you an idea they run out of idea's. They'd prefer to make a film that appeals to the masses, which unfortunately looks like the majority wants to see the same type of film, the same type of action, the same cheesy humour and above all no surprises.
