>>76988394>i'm saying bad movies weren't a way of life, praised by millionsSpeed, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Highlander, just off the top of my head and limited to the first half of the decade to prove that it isn't a process of decline begun after that.
Plus that mid 90s period is when anybody would go see anything with Jim Carrey in it because he was Jim Carrey, funny-faced rubber man, not Jim Carrey, insane conspiracy theorist child killer.
Everybody bitched about the first two Indiana Jones sequels as much as they did about Crystal Skull; specifically that Doom was violent and racist and that Last Crusade was formulaic and played to the weak acting of Connery.
Beverly Hills Cop II and III were similar let downs but everybody went to see them anyway; III in particular was a total paycheck movie that nobody wanted to make.
Then we have the Conan movies. And so on. And that's just talking about franchises; when we get into the imitators it gets even worse.
You can sit there and try to defend your position but only if you argue everybody watches bad movies now because there's nothing else on, in which case you have to also argue that they watched these bad movies 20-30 years ago for the same reason. And you may have a point - these may be bad movies, and everyone may have known it, but they were certainly praised enough to get sequels. Frankly, a movie which is technically brilliant and makes no money does not get a sequel; a movie which is shit but makes money does.
Then we have pure shit that everyone agrees on, and that's why there's no Green Lantern 2 and Fantastic Four 2 is probably a myth.
