having the criticism is fine, it is the attitude you have expressing it that is not doing you any favors

I’m scared for OP

yeah, noted UNsuccessful filmmaker Wes Anderson should write more catered to you to improve his success

posts like these aren't made by people looking to get someone else's perspective nor made to start a healthy discussion. OP just wants an echo chamber, nothing more. If someone feels that Anderson is just becoming too focused on style over substance, then that's fine. Just come up with a more tactful way of expressing it than just reactionary garble

Shh... let people enjoy things

Everything Everywhere All at Once

I can definitely understand why people enjoy it, but I just couldn’t get into it myself.

Don’t worry they make plenty marvel movies for people like you.

OP’s post is lazy and doesn’t give us much to work with, but, in principle, there’s nothing wrong with starting a discussion about whether a famous artist is coasting or stagnating.

Tim Burton gets called out every time he makes a movie.

While I disagree with your pessimistic take, I do agree that Wes needs someone to reign him in. When I look at my favorites of his oeuvre, they're all grounded stories with whimsy added, not whimsical stories overloaded with whimsy. Wes should add his touches to enhance a basic story, not start with over-the-top twee and then overload it until it looks like a comically-oversized (and symmetrical) Sundae.

Dude I couldn't agree more. Easily the most overrated director going today. The exact same movie over and over again.

Oh look every frame is centered. Oh look quirky character and set design! What’s this? Boring and strange just for the sake of being strange dialog? Man really stretching his legs with this one huh. Oh hey that actor gave a puzzled look in response to someone saying something! Not like that ever happens in EVERY.SINGLE.MOVIE of his.

I stopped enjoying children’s animated movies at around 6 when the boys got outvoted by the girls at our after school care and we had to see the Little Mermaid instead of The Wizard. Years later as CG took over a trend started of adults, with or without children, watching children’s animated movies, and it never stopped. I don’t get it. The humor is designed to be the basest and least offensive. The stories, if not simply a remake, are extremely derivative and boring. The visuals are impressive but designed to be cute for children. When I’m forced to watch them because I’m possibly the only person on earth with this opinion, I will find some visuals cool and the occasional moment funny or touching, but mostly I feel like I’m watching derivative crap designed to sell merchandising.

So yeah, I want to like this genre of movie because it seems to make people angry that I don’t, but I genuinely don’t get the appeal to anyone over 10.

Both The Road and No Country for Old Men films were like someone recorded the images in my head while reading the books. Incredible adaptations that valued the feelings those books evoked.

I feel like the best way to enjoy the French Dispatch is to be ready to be thrust into scene along with the characters and assume their circumstance as your own.

It's a movie you can taste if only you allow it to land on your tongue

Username is on brand lol

Never read that before. Pretty eye opening

You care so much about this that you posted it to two different subs....

At this point a Wes Anderson film is a genre, in my opinion.

I like the cinematography, set design and dialogue of his worlds.

I also greatly enjoy the insane amount of cameos

Would you say that "comedy is getting old" because you keep laughing watching all the movies?

smh

I liked Romeo Must Die and I thought Kiss of the Dragon was really good.

I believe he had just worked with Fincher on House of Cards so he probably got looped in that way.

horror movies nah, this movie! Of course it does follow the characters constantly making bad decisions and people die.

It's the horror of character flaw.

Empire Strikes Back - I've watched it so many times, I can fall asleep before the Luke and Han start talking on Hoth.
