As an Epic Movie Fan, I Wish These 6 Movies Were Better
As a lifelong fan of cinematic epics, it's especially disappointing when films like Immortals and World War Z don’t meet expectations. Epic movies are huge undertakings that require immense effort and talent, which makes it impressive that many succeed. However, many fall short of their ambitions.
Some epics are simply poorly conceived, large-scale projects that should never have been made. Others show clear potential that gets lost or buried under mediocrity in the finished film. Whatever the cause, I wish these movies had succeeded.
The stakes are high with epic films because their costly failures limit opportunities for future large-scale productions—unless the filmmaker is a recognized name like Christopher Nolan or Ridley Scott. This shrinking pool of epic movies is frustrating for fans who want more great spectacles to enjoy.
Despite criticism, Michael Bay is not the villain of blockbuster cinema that some make him out to be.
"Michael Bay isn't the antichrist of blockbuster cinema that his critics would make him out to be."
Author's summary: Epic films require vast effort and budget, so their failures hurt fans and future projects; many promising epics like Immortals and World War Z fell short but still hold potential.
