I think there are plenty of movies that aren't remake-of-a-copy-of-a-sequel out there. I recall I liked Didi.
I also think a lot of people have a better experience at the movies. The movie gets watched straight through. It isn't abandoned, stopped to get snacks, or text, or take a phone call. If someone keeps falling asleep, you don't rewind 10 times. If the movie starts out too slow or subtle, you keep going instead of scrolling to find another movie. etc.
I saw it and thought it was awful.
I wonder if there's a sort of imposter syndrome thing going on, not letting people say it's bad.
"I didn't get it, but I'm unclear on the backstory of the roman empire. I better keep my mouth shut or they will know I'm uneducated!"
In comparison some movies are sort of a mess that resolves into something in the end.
Charlie Kaufman movies are like that. I liked synecdoche ny (didn't like anomalisa)
Or even the plastic bag in american beauty.
Ok - most recent movie I would recommend spending your money on: Didi
