Re: is this the worst generation in cinema history??
Relative to what they had to work with back then, they did much better relative to what the industry of today has to work with. Improving on something when someone else already wrote the blueprint for it and claiming that it’s some innovative idea or process (that already existed but to a lesser degree) doesn’t really impress me.

Re: is this the worst generation in cinema history??
Yes.
Studio owners are hiring using nepotism, not talent.
Draining the hollywood swamp of the influence of "the gay mafia" and "the russian (jewish) mafia" will be needed to make film great again.

I wouldn't bank on it... it's Disney, it's Christmas... and it's Star Wars... pretty deadly combo for the box office... no way they don't kill the $.

Like some poster said: the volume of movie making has increased but the quality is not down.
You got Irishman, Joker, Ford v Ferrari ( pretty damn great movie), Endgame, Once upon a Time in Hollywood all come out in the same year.
Television has been great with The Crown season 3 each episode seems like a standalone great movie, The Mandalorian, Cernobyl ( oh damn) etc on TV.
I found this year to be pretty good for movies and series

Watch Parasite before it's out of theaters, one of the best movies in the last few years. It's Korean with ENG subtitles though.

I give you Tenet and maybe Bond. The rest though?
Better than 2019? No way. Once Upon a Time, Irishman, Ford v Ferrari, Endgame, Joker, John Wick 3 they shit on upcoming 2020 films. Hell in 2019 we were lucky to witness a top 20 movie of all time in Joker. How many times does that happEn? Once a decade?
Re: is this the worst generation in cinema history??
The problem is that although there's been good films this year, overall it's watered down by all the flops like ferminator, ghostbusters reboot, and the like.
Re: is this the worst generation in cinema history??
It's funny that we are talking about this the same time when you have movies like The Irishman, Ford vs Ferrari, Beautiful Day, The Lighthouse, The Joker, all coming out in the last 2 months or so.
Re: is this the worst generation in cinema history??
1. Due to improvements in home theatre systems, people are increasingly unlikely to watch a film in theatres unless it's a big budget special FX film.
2. The foreign market % for Hollywood films is higher than before so studios want to make films that will have a broad appeal to a non-English native speaker. Cue simpler dialogue and eye candy in your big budget special FX film.
3. Since these films are expensive to make, studios are hesitant to try something that deviates from established film making formulas
= Predictable mediocre popcorn flicks
