Personally I'd love to see more strong female roles in films. However the only thing is, only if it's directed my a man. Because it's obvious that nobody understands women in general more than men do. They , and I really do exactly know what makes them tick so to speak.
It's kinda like the phrase, 'write what you know'. |

I'd like to see better stories.
And I'd like to see the passage of time within the story more clearly delineated.
You ever watch a movie and you feel like these major events in the lives of the characters just happened over the weekend? It doesn't feel realistic like a real amount of time has passed, like what might happen in real life.
Certainly sometimes the events playing out did just happen over the course of a day or two, but I recently watched a movie where the story took place over months, but it felt like it was just two or so days. Took me out of the reality of the story. |

In Field Of Dreams we see a montage of the seasons changing, including a Christmas moment, from the time the protagonist builds the field to the arrival of the ghostly baseball players. |

A plot would be nice once in a while
And more gratuitous nudity, of course.

Plots that do not require you to know who people are from having either memorized a book or seen previous films.
Films not based on previous films.
Films where nothing and nobody gets blown up.
Films with characters the viewer can like because they are likeable .. not only because they are able to defeat the bad-guy.

I liked the way Ridley Scott directed women in Alien.

I like me some explosions. |

lenlenlen1I used to not mind explosions but recently I noticed that I no longer enjoy seeing people and things destroyed . As an example, I re-watched Speed which I has seen before and remembered liking but had to fast forward through parts of it because they were just too real to bear. For me, watching death and destruction is just not entertaining.

As an example, I re-watched Speed which I has seen before and remembered liking but had to fast forward through parts of it because they were just too real to bear. For me, watching death and destruction is just not entertaining. Death and destruction, as in horror movies, has never been enjoyable to me. What I look for in a horror movie is a director that knows how to use film language to actually scare you. Very few horror movie directors actually know how to do that. They throw in violence, blood and gore in the hopes that will do it. But it doesn't work most of the time.
But getting back to explosions, I agree that there are too many of them in action movies nowadays. Sometimes they have things blow up that wouldn't in real life just to add an explosion. However, when an action movie is well done, and the explosions are sparse and organic to the story, then they can be quite satisfying.
Using Speed as an example, there are five explosions I think: the beginning elevator, the first bus, the front of the 2nd bus, the rigged house, and the finale explosion when the bus crashes into the plane. They were mostly spread out and the movie was about a bomber. The last explosion though is an example of a gratuitous explosion.

lenlenlen1 For me, the best horror movies are the ones who leave a lot (if not most) to the imagination. I agree about explosions sometimes being "satisfying"... that truck in Thelma and Louise as an example. THAT was deserved and pretty awesome. I was actually surprised at my reaction to Speed. I think it was the combination of the torturous tormenting bully of an insane villain and explosive events in real-life that made it so unbearable. Rather a shame because it is a good movie and I know it's just my personal reaction to it. .
