yeah I get what you're saying. It seems to me too that more emphasis is put on the general concepts within the movie like cool visuals than its actual execution through directing, acting, writing, and editing. That's fine for kids I guess, but even when I was a kid, I was looking for more meat in my movies, something to sink my mind into beyond a badass shot or sequence. That's what I think makes these films you mentioned so good. They have badassery and something interesting to explore beyond that storywise, acting-wise, dialogue-wise, editing-wise, music-wise, ahnuld-wise etc.
hell, we need the govenator at the movies again.
Directing and editing are all part of making cool visuals my friend
And your whole complaint about action movies, if you thought serenity sucked you don't get to complain, because that uses all of the things you wished action movies used to make good movies
Serenity has a great screen play/story, great deep round characters, cool visuals, a great vision (and no I am not a big fan of Whedons outside of this, so its not like he can do no wrong in my eyes like I know some whedon fans are) and its entertaining as hell: great movie
