The problem with Live Action, Disney and their Critics


Disney releases many movies over the course of years, so why I this angry? It's a good thing right, to make movies. But I'm blaming Disney and the critics, not just Disney.

Look at all the live action remakes for starters. The 1940s reboots to 1950s to 1960s reboots. The worse are the reboots for movies released in the 1990s like Aladdin and The Lion King. Apart from using great actors, the movie cannot own up to the same appeal of the original because the animation made it special. The rating G doesn't need live action reboots. It's just using the nostalgia effect, which it will keep using. Instead, it needs new original movies.

It's not just the live action reboots we have an issue with. Whenever they use too much CGI, you find a secret craving. Check Rotten Tomatoes and you'll find every critic raving about every Marvel film under Disney or every PG or PG-13 movies under Disney, the probability is very high for the movie to have good rating by critics and I'm betting some critics are paid off. You won't find any rated R film here unfortunately because that makes it more appealing for "families".

So far until the end of 2018, every critic, including Disney Critic and anything under its franchise has a good rating. A new Disney movie comes out, everyone critic keeps says it's dreamy and something they've never seen before, and thus everyone gets excited as if they are getting a ******* from Santa Claus. Nowadays, I don't think they even look at the reviews anymore, because Rotten Tomatoes ruins everything.

That brings another issue. Monopolizing the movie industry gives little chances for the Rated R industry to make movies. Of course, people barely watch these movies since they are usually hit-and-miss or Oscar quality. And when critics are biased towards every Disney movie, the other industries suffer in the box office.

Disney has a major problem. They are looking to make billion dollar movies. They bought the major media indMaybe in the future they might go on to make 2 to 3 to 4 billion movies, and so forth. Currently the highest honor is with Avatar with 2.7 billion.

Just like in my favorite film Goodfellas, "As far as I can remember, I always wanted to be a Gangster. To me, being a Gangster was better than being the President.". Disney gets lots and lots of cash, and had a serious problem. They need to get some help from someone. Or the world as we know it, will end up as "1984" before the election.

I'm actually a Will Smith fan but if I were directing, I would just make him put on a suit. Remember the old Alien series. It was pretty convincing, and when I saw it, I definitely thought it was CGI. Nearly all DC or DCEU characters were using suits, makeup in most scenes. Starting The Avengers and Iron Man 3, Robert Downey Jr. never wore his suit at all. From then on, cities were constructed. Everything was Live Action.

It feels like I'm rambling right. Never Mind, though I think I'll stick to more Rated R movies for now. Doesn't mean I won't watch PG-13, But I'm just giving more preference now. And **** Critics.
