Maybe directors are biting of more than they can chew, when deciding how to approach a picture. It makes their pictures sensationalistic, and harder to connect to-a spectacle. Maybe it's typical of this Bigger is better Americana. Grand explosions, slap you in the face comedy--forget irony or subtlety. I think a discerning movie goer needs character development--but for that to happen, the movie has to be scaled back a bit-to allow for it.
