Awful.
You cannot judge a film based on it’s monetary worth/budget or the decade it’s been created.
Your requirements are rubbish.
And trailers are awful now, they don’t even give you the plot anymore.
You obviously have bad taste in movies if this is how you think.
Answer by 5Deck.comHm, that’s a pretty limited scope. None of those criteria actually tell you whether the film is good or not (box office revenue does not imply good, unfortunately). I would say that if you typed those criteria into a movie finder, the list would be pretty short. However, if you are going for “popular, new movies” then I suppose those criteria will work. ^_^Answer by chr0n0phasia
I would have to disagree with all of those.
1. Good trailers don’t always equate to good films. There are some films I love that had terrible trailers.
2. A high budget doesn’t necessarily mean it will be well written, well acted, well directed, well produced etc. Some of my favourite films are low (or moderate) budget independent films.
3. If a great film is poorly marketed, chances are it won’t be very popular and won’t make big revenue at the box office. The same goes for when critics jump on the bandwagon and it becomes “fashionable” to hate a particular film. Lots of films have gained cult status on DVD or even years after their initial release. Marketing and initial reception are powerful influences on box office revenue. It doesn’t mean it’s a good film if it’s made 100 million+.
4. There are 7 movies on the Top 250 films of all time on IMDb that are from 2010-2011. That means that 243 of those films are older than 2010. There’s even a film dating back to 1921. The Top 250 list is based on thousands of user votes. https://www.imdb.com/chart/top One could even argue that they don’t make films like they used to.
