I went to see Transformers: Rise of the Fallen a few days ago, and I began to realize something: Today's blockbuster action movies are starting to become rather stale. Transformers 2, Wolverine, Terminator: Salvation, were all disappointments, with over saturated CGI, recycled plots, and worn out acting.
Where are the great original blockbusters like Terminator, Terminator 2, even T3, Back to the Future, The Matrix, Sin City, and 300? Blockbusters today seem to be like fireworks: great to watch but once they're over that's it. The great movies are those that make you talk about them long after you leave the theatre. They provoke more emotions than oooooh and aaaaaaah. Where are the tear wrenching movies? Where are the edge of your seat thrillers? I'm still waiting for one this year.
