They're competent films, but they're not spectacular. Avatar might be Cameron's weakest film, but it's still decent. TFA probably isn't as good as any of the OT, but it manages to be better than the prequels and retain several elements of the OT so it works there. Jurassic World was a pale imitation of the first movie, but that's what people wanted (an actual sequel to the first movie). Furious 7 honestly ... is a mediocre/silly film, but the characters are fun and it was a send off for Paul Walker. The Empire Strikes Back, The Matrix (the original not the sequels), Jurassic Park, Terminator 2, The Dark Knight are legit mainstream pop masterpieces. To be honest I think Titanic is probably better than all of TFA, Avatar, Jurassic World, etc. too as a film. |
Acording to whom and to wich standard ? Ppl went to see Avatar and got so excited they told everyone else to go see it to, these ppl went and them told everyone else to go see it, and them everyone went a second time and took theyre famillies to see it, theres a reason that movie has infinte legs. Everyone who watched that movie left the theters more entertained than they do for most other movies. I dont like it too much, but thats 100% subjective, objectively it managed to entertain lots of ppl very much, its hard to argue against a movie that does that. The movies you listed in the end are simply films that managed to entertain and get critical recognition at the same time, if thats the standard youre going by to call something a masterpiece or not, than Force Awakens and The Avengers sure as hell are masterpieces, and other movies too like 007 Skyfall, Titanic, Lord of the Rings, Guardians of the Galaxy etc.

The whole point was that Matrix was a revolution on te way ppl make movies and see movies, when you watch it multiple times it looses that factor, specialy if you do so considering how much more movies evolved since the Matrix. We gota keep in mind tough, that most of this develoment in film making only ever happened cause The Matrix showed everyone else the way to do things, other film makers picked it up from there and kept developping the medium.
