“Blockbuster” = LOUD, endless and boring CGI, lots of explosions, no plot, no character development, and crappy acting. No thanks.
All of that plus, frankly, unattractive “stars.”

...and half the dialog will be the F bomb.
The cast will be politically correct.
Some director will come forward and re-discover the art of making low budget blockbuster movies.
I’ve had a sense that they have dumbed down movies and TV in recent years. They do seem to rely on computer graphics and explosions, and not on plot or character development.
I would rather watch old Star Trek episodes from the ‘60s, rather than today’s sci fi. Even though the special effects then were primitive by today’s standards, the overall storylines had more depth to them. Just my opinion.

you forgot “bad dialog” and “bad acting”, but i suppose those might fall under the category of “no character development”. also, let’s not forget zero creativity, zero suspense, zero originality.
we quit going to the movies for those very reasons nearly two decades ago. the only movie i MIGHT go see in the future is The Irishman done by Scorsese with a reprisal of the cast of Goodfellas.
original TV series via cable channels and streaming is where the truly original and engaging entertainment has moved to ...
I happened upon one on TV a few says ago, tired to watch some of it. So stupid I gave up after about three minutes.
Like I’ve often said, sixty years ago such a film would be filmed in B&W on a very cheap budget, to play the bottom half of a drive-in double feature under Hercules and the maidens from Mars.
Now they are given top budgets, CGIs, glorious color(if you can call it glorious) and each one seems be a variation of the last superhero movie.
Our young people are truly living in an age of fantasy.

That’s right. The last movie I saw in a theater, which was about 7 years ago, was a Star Trek movie and the special effects were outrageously exaggerated, the plot was terrible and the acting was PC idiotic.
Give me Shatner, Neimoy and Scotty, any time.
