The bar feels… low. Remember the 2000s? We had Christopher Nolan redefining sci-fi thrillers with Inception, the Coen Brothers dropping No Country for Old Men, and Guillermo del Toro giving us Pan’s Labyrinth. Even the 2010s gave us Denis Villeneuve's Arrival and Bong Joon-ho's genre-mashing Parasite.
Now, it feels like Hollywood is afraid to take real risks unless an algorithm says it’ll trend on TikTok. We need the return of auteurs—your Finchers, your PTAs, even a Tarantino wildcard. Movie lovers are starving, and we deserve more than just flashy trailers and mid-tier lore.

Movie fans share the most overrated movies of the 2020s so far: 'Critics have been clutching at straws for decent production'
The 2020s haven't exactly been the golden age of cinema. And according to the discorse below, that doesn't seem to be a hot take. We've had a few standouts: Everything Everywhere All at Once turned the multiverse into an emotional gut punch, and Greta Gerwig somehow turned Barbie into both a cultural reset and an existential crisis. If America Ferrera's monologue didn't make you tear up, are you okay? But for every fresh hit, there's a lukewarm studio sequel or a 2.5-hour CGI snoozefest that critics insist is visionary (looking at you, Don't Worry Darling.)
