I'm noticing that production values on a lot of action flicks have been cheapened lately-- not just in the visual departments, but even down to writing and acting. It's almost as if a lot of producers expect to sell people on the notion that watered down B-movie or video fare should be regarded as A-grade material.
And I think the wave of CGI has unfortunately somewhat contributed to this-- hell, if we can reproduce a bunch of soldiers or cars or something, can't we do everything else cheaper without people noticing?
