…….. (I much prefer foreign movies, but that's another topic).   

Yes, Hollywood films are shallow, banal, granted, vacuos, vapid, predictable (at least, 99% of them).

The world is not in blacks and whites, as Hollywood is good to depict it.

THE VILLAIN. THE HERO. The very good and the very evil. Psycological manipulation of the spectator (usually led in such an evident way to result disgusting). Lots of unnecessary obscenities and profanities tossed into like abundant dressing on a salad.

And, at the end, the cavalry which defeats the indians. I believe that 10-years old kids have grown too mature for that.

Anyway, I'm not saying foreign films are necessarily better. Sometimes they are too intellectual or boring or they make no sense at all.

I'm not a frequent viewer of films though.
