The problem is that Hollywood is selling to a world box office...not just an Anglo-American one...so, no complicated plots or dialog but lots of noise and big booms. This is why Americans no have to turn to cable tv, or British imports for good stories.Alexnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703856341303488608.post-75045459741830748422013-05-15T14:31:50.632+00:002013-05-15T14:31:50.632+00:00good review - sadly it confirms all my suspicious ...good review - sadly it confirms all my suspicious having thought that the first was awful if you take away all the pretty and shiny effects.

I think I first noticed it with the last Indiana Jones, and I think it is a formula hollywood is consciously working to.<br /><br />Frenetic action. Very short dialogues. Brief moments of saccharin emotional pathos arriving without any preamble. Plots resolved by heroic efforts in "pulling that lever" or stretching an arm a really long way to "push that button". LOTS of effects.<br /><br />I think hollywood must have a word for this formula. Basically they're aiming at a younger and (put politely) a less well educated audience.<br /><br />Having said all that, I enjoyed Into Darkness a lot, but if you want to see an intelligent film these days you have to find an art house cinema.<br /><br />James.James Buckleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09967288687828950345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703856341303488608.post-34451694924834971102013-05-15T05:49:59.828+00:002013-05-15T05:49:59.828+00:00Thanks for the review.

I'd much rather see a science fiction story with some good action scenes than an action movie with the facade of science fiction.<br /><br />- MikeMikenoreply@blogger.com
