What movies have you seen that needed that special 'something' in order to create a better film? and what where the movies and the special something they needed.

 

[Puzzles]

More battle scenes - ALL of them.

 

[Cherry Cola]

The Star Wars prequels needed more "not existing"

 

[Cargando]

The 'special something' as you said, I read as being that element of warmth that gives a film a human quality, like you find in Little Miss Sunshine.

I just think movies need sunshine in the first place.
all modern movies seem to be filmed on sets where the producer didnt pay the lighting bill.
Its one thing when its raining, or when the characters are in a depressing mood, like they're at a funeral, but when they're standing in an indoor room, with windows, why are films always so dark.
I keep asking myself, "why are they studying that corpse in the dark when theres a perfectly good light swith right behind them.
movies are ok when they're dark, but there needs to be a balance.
You cant have a film when its constantle night.
(unless that film is set during one night, or over "30 days of night")

Precisely, these big-budget Hollywood films take themselves too seriously. We need more stuff like LOTR.

Are we adding or taking away from films? Because I think most films need less Romantic sub-plots. I mean that shit gets cliche after a few seconds. I can't remember a single situation where it was done right.

Thats a great example of how a film can have tons of action and battle scenes, that are dark and rainy, and yet the rest of the time when no ones trying to decapitate anyone, have beautiful sunshine, in shiny green forests.
Hell...even the battle of Plenor fields is sunny, and thats a battle scene.

 

[TimeLord]

More fighting, less love, more complexity

Basically the Matrix: Reloaded without Trinity then

 

[Snowalker]

Anything that takes place after the supposed end of the world, two best that ome to mind A Boy and His Dog and I Am Legend. Oh, they also gotta have a pet.
