What was the last great Blockbuster in your opinion?

[TheFireCar]

not including Marvel films

I was watching this video about how Blockbuster filmmaking is often overlooked, and how it too is a process that requires work and effort, and not simply "mindless" as they are portrayed.


James Cameron has always been the best director in my opinion, who nails what makes a Blockbuster film a success. a combination of the action but also the emotional core, characters, motivations etc.

Reason why nothing fukking with Aliens or T2 now a days. What was the last great blockbuster in your opinion
