Hollywood: movie money makers

Every summer moviegoers flock to the theaters to see what Hollywood has punched out as their big summer hits. Some do well and become successful blockbuster, while the others fail to stand up to their potential hype. Yet in the past few years it’s seem as though movies themselves have become less entertaining, and more to the aspect of just making money. With every new movie comes new technology in films, which is good, but it can also be said that every movie then losses part of it’s artistic and authentic view.

What Hollywood never caught on to was that theses movies didn’t have hardly any special effects, and were still able to beat out there epic action movies at the box office. “ Final Fantasy”, which came out just this summer, was all computer generated and almost looked real, with its characters and settings. But they keep getting worse and worse, un realistic.
