Those are some of the reasons I have no interest in going to a movie. Also, most of them seem to be remakes or nothing but comic book stuff. H'wood has a serious lack of imagination.
Having said that, some people I know have seen this movie recently and speak very highly of it: Unsung Hero
Hollywood, in general, has been suffering from a lack of creative freshness for a long time.
The Flintstones a live action movie? They have always made a muddle of historical themes (don't get your history from a movie!) and in retrospect, have always either pushed the Party line of the day or pushed back against it. Propaganda has cast it's aura over the film business, for good or ill, for a long time.
Add in the glaring and increasing pandering to wokeness and specific groups and there is almost no reason for anyone except those who want to feed their individual confirmation bias to even watch. You can tell who populates the Hollywood bubble by the 'messages' they write in, and they increasingly either are further removed from real people, or people seem to set their norms thereby and behave in lockstep--softly contributing to the serious divides in American Society, rather than illustrating the common themes that would potentially bring people together.
When the next social movement could be predicted by the appearance of specific character types in sitcoms, I only watched long enough to see what was coming next, and then, not at all.
Now the theater has become a refuge from the heat when the air conditioner breaks.
