That's true, but for the well known characters Superman and Batman. I think the direction and style DC took that's probably as far as you could go.

Den of thieves
Watched and it was ok - genuinely surprised many think it is a cult hit (i.e. rewatchables).

The DCU films are stuck in a limbo. They want to be darker/more adult, but also want to market them at kids so they can sell more merch.
As you suggested, a deeper dive in to the backstories and motivations of villains is such a cool concept that should be considered exploring.

I can't - hard to reconcile Chris Ryan's voice to his face.

The Death of Stalin: Odd, amusing, informative. Love everything Iannucci has done, and Buscemi was very good. 7/10

Death at a funeral
starring- Chris Rock, Kevin Hart, Danny Glover, Martin Lawrence, James Marsden, Zoe Saldana, Luke Wilson, Peter Dinklage, Regina Hall & Tracy Morgan
As good a cast as you will see. That is the only compliment I can give this steaming pile of s**t. I think I may have chuckled once, it really was a terribly unfunny and quite annoying movie
2.5/10

Are good movies becoming rare? The odd good one comes around, but not like the 80's and 90's.

There are plenty of good movies. Especially if you expand to foreign films.

Joker.
Into my top 5 of all time with a bullet. Haven't had that much of a physical response to a movie in about half a decade. Probably longer.
Already planning to go and see it again which I haven't done for a cinema film since I was teenager.
I'm still amazed a studio ticked off on this script. It's so dark for a character that could appeal to children (ie. easier to make more money through marketing etc). Couldn't be happier for how it turned it.

I don't know there's still plenty of interesting movies being made and there was no shortage of rubbish movies in the 80s and 90s, we tend to remember the good, the great and the shockingly bad ones. The vast majority ranging from underwhelming down to rubbish tend to be forgotten.

Hall of Famer
American Animals - Half doco/half film. Which I thought worked for this film with the way they worked in the real people.
True story about of group of college students that plan an art heist. A bit slow at the beginning but then I got really into it.
Ending was a bit anti-climactic but worth a watch still.

I enjoyed this one. Really interesting story it’s based on.
No way. There’s brilliant films made every year it’s just the average cinema goer only sees the commercial/blockbuster films because many of those great films are foreign or shown at indie/Arthouse cinemas
I just looked through my movie ratings on IMDB and of the 638 movies I've rated, there are 43 movies that I gave either a 9 or 10 to. I've broken them down by decade:
10s - 9
00s - 17
90s - 11
80s - 5
70s - 1
Pre-70s - 0
So for me at least, there's still been a stack of great movies since the turn of the century. If I was to include 8s in that breakdown (which I'd still consider very good films), it would be even more heavily weighted towards films in the past 20 years.
10s - 36
00s - 44
90s - 25
80s - 13
70s - 3
Pre-70s - 1
Out of curiosity, what was the one movie pre 80s?
Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory. The ones that got in with an 8 rating were Dog Day Afternoon, Harold & Maude and Mary Poppins.
