Pretty spoton list of reasons.

Dumbing down? Yep, true again.
The substance has gone from movies, look at ****e like Mchete, The Expendables, just to name a few. Oh, and Inglorious Basterds.

Gaming the Ratings System

The good 'ole ratings system. Too violent, so it gets binned, or banned from classification, or banned from screening in certain areas.
What about choice? What about freedom of viewing?
As if we haven't seen it all before.
Well yea, that's just business sense.
Cater to a broader market. Cash in, milk the cow for what it's worth by doing 50 sequels, or basing a movie on a newly-released game.
Fail!
These factors can all be applied to the gaming industry too.
Perfectly, might i add.
Copy and pasta straight into the What's wrong with games today thread.
Movies these days are void of any sort of attempt to actively challenge a brain cell or two, certainly in my case.
It's either a war movie, where the (surprise surprise) the Germans get bashed and branded evil and get killed in the most violent ways, as if to drive home to the viewer that we can't forget that the Germans were all bad, point in case recently with Inglorious Basterds, that's one reason i haven't watched it, apart from Brad Pitt's lack of acting skills, or the mindless drivel of The Expendables, where you allow wouldbe actors, such as Sly Stallone to direct his own garbage. The plot of the movie? No plot, just a kill em all, how many words can you put together in a sentence type of film. A waste of time for me, time i will never get back.
Machete? Same garbage.
Hollywood needs to look at itself and re-invent itself.
Now!
