Why do superhero movies now have mindless cgi action and unbelivable actors?

Yeah, they don't care about talent, all they want is to put pretty faces in the screen to get all the girls excited, i agree!

average joe metrosexual frinedly society. they want people to think that everyone can be a superheroe including kittle kids now with powers and parents.

Society is very gay frinedly. not saying thats a bad thing but the old school macho action hero is not favored.

lastly money...

this junk sells and people actually like the mindless junk movies they watch and make fun of old movies now.

cgi is cheaper and less time consuming I think?

I know I watched clash of the titans remake and it was junk.

the new planet of the apes was ausome though for cgi sometimes it works!

old punisher was better.

new superman sucked...the reboot looks stupid.

spiderman remake lame the other ones decent but for kids and full of the junk you described...

yeah where the chuck norris's arnolds stalones, willis, **** how stupid was ALL the avp movies. they all were horrible .

friday the 13th remake sucked.

new robocop and total recall is gonna be bullshit too.

Okay, CGI has taken on in leaps and bounds and it's now far more cost effective to have CGI over that of models..

While Captain America didn't appeal to a wider audience, as the fodder so to speak before was Ironman, Ironman 2, The Incredible Hulk and Thor, the films were action packed, which widely appeals to a large demographic, this is why the films work, you have you young children 8+ to frankly older fans who love this style of movie.

As for Thor, seriously, Brannagh did a fantastic job in direction as well in my humble opinion there was a strong cast, Thor / Loki characteristics worked perfect and Brannagh's take on the light bridge was visually breathtaking.

X-Men First Class I think you have missed the point, the film wasn't a steer to be X-Men 4, it was a prequel in concept to introduce the X-Men origins, this was in large pasted over in X-Men, this used fresh younger versions of the already established characters in those of Magneto, Prof X etc, as well introducing characters that would in the X-Men universe give birth (literally in some cases) to new mutants.
