What year did cinema go irrevocably wrong?
Nice one OP, using a blockbuster.

1895
fuck the Lumière brothers
Can we all agree that Jaws has the most iconic movie poster in existence?
>Born in le wrong generation xD
Probably not until 2005
>>62745353
probably this. I've noticed a sharp down turn after the first Matrix movie (in terms of mainstream hollywood films)
Its probably the over reliance on CGI which ruins the pacing of movies.
When did they start rehashing the same shit?
>>62744845
2007 has to rank up there, films released that year included
Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End
Spider-Man 3
Shrek the Third
Transformers
National Treasure: Book of Secrets
300
Epic Movie
Norbit
Ghost Rider
28 Weeks Later
Fantastic Four: Rise Of The Silver Surfer
Ocean's Thirteen
Evan Almighty
Rush Hour 3
Daddy Day Camp
Bee Movie
Hitman
Alvin And The Chipmunks
Note the unnaturally high number of blockbuster sequels

>300
That movie, while not actually bad in its own right, is singlehandedly responsible for ruining historical war movies and documentaries. Every similar fucking thing since has been a shitty imitation of that style of action scene, even shit on the History Channel (well, until they dumped all of their effort and resources into pawn shops, ancient aliens, and 2012 doomsday nonsense). I agree with your assessment.
Around the time of Independence Day.
Blockbuster movies stopped having any new ideas or subjects and then became a series of CGI action sequences.

Wrong
Lotr is the best blockbuster trilogy ever and it was from 2001 to 03
>>62744925
in terms of it's ability to be recognized to the general public, or it's replication.
I think scarfacé is most notable for that
>>62746076
Except that Independence Day had lots of practical effects
>>62744845
But Jaws had the GOAT monologue in cinema history.

FUCK I wish Spielberg would move back into blockbuster cinema again. He knows how to create spine-tingling magic like no other mainstream director.

The year Top Gun came out.
You can't say cinema though OP. There are still masterpieces made every year. I think you mean "What year did Hollywood go irrevocably wrong?"
And I still haven't given up on the faint possibility of it one day being saved.
>>62745887
To be fair we also got movies like Zodiac, No Country for Old Men, and There Will Be Blood
>>62746699
that other dude is a knob
Not only did 2007 give us what you posted but it also gave us Syndromes and a Century, I'm Not There, 4 Months, 3 Weeks, and 2 Days, Offside, Colossal Youth, and Southland Tales
great fucking year
>>62745887
>the third Pirates of the Caribbean
That movie was so unbelievably bad.
