I don't go to any super hero movies anymore , not because they are bad, some are very good, but because it is to much been-there-done-that. (I must admit that last years Wonder Woman was framed so differently that I found that very entertaining except for the ending.)Superhero films are popular now but once they fade front he scene what do you think will take their place? What do you think will be the next popular movie trend?
I am more entertained by films that engage me , in recent years that would be a film like Dunkirk , last year, or say The Big Short in 2015.... saw one just last week The Ballad of Buster Scruggs... love out of the ordinary stuff.
One kind of film I would lay down money for is the good ancient history film.
Last really really good one was Gladiator in 2000, 18 years ago!
Troy (2004) was ok , tho no cigar.
Directors cut of Kingdom of Heaven (2005) was ok.
300 trashed a perfectly good piece of history The Battle of Thermopylae , I hate that movie.
There is an instance of comic-booking up a story turned it into trash.
HBO's ROME is an example of a beautiful and enthralling presentation of ancient history.
