For years, Women have made fun of Guys with their interest in such SciFi movie series like Star Trek and Star Wars. It may of taken 35 years for the pendulum to swing in the full opposite direction but I believe it has. I am speaking of the Twilight Franchise and Hunger Games to an extent.
At this point, from my view, not many guys are into the Twilight series. First of all, it is what it appears to me as a Love story with some random fight sequences, and much drama. I admit, I have seen the first two movies, and have not seen the rest. Do I care to see the rest,...No. I've seen enough.
Granted Star Wars episode 4 and Twilight Movie 1 are similar, initial movie, slow story, cheap looking sets/effects. They did improve as time went. The first Hunger Games movie follows this result as well, where in the second movie will get a new director, and perhaps more investment from their filmhouse.
Fast forward to the best scene in Episode 6, I don't want to give the ending away, but things progress and get better.
Just like the stock market is based on a cycle, I think movies are similar, or at least copy-cat tendencies. It doesn't take a genius to realize that you can make more money by stretching a series out to 3 or 4 movies, when it could it could of been hammered out in 2 or 3.
