Unfortunately the greedy pigs who run Hollywood, that is, are running it into the ground as we speak, think that movies, primarily geared towards the market of young male adolescent, make the most money. This happens to be true, but they also cost a great deal to produce.
So, the new superhero movie, with all of it's expensive explosions don't make as much of a net profit as a movie that cost less to make and makes, though substantially less nets more. If you make $20 million from a movie that it costed you $15 million to make a movie that costed $1 million to make and rakes in $9 million you make $8 million. Which is substantially more.
This simple concept alludes the vampires in Hollywood and so you see less On Golden Ponds and More Aquaman, Spider-man and Bumblebee. Family movies like Mary Poppins are still money makers but not necessarily appealing to those outside of the familial market.
However, what's wrong with violence? For the Bible believer such as myself, the Bible is full of it. To a Buddhist it's suffering and ya' just gotta' let it go.
Justice is a little more complex. And violence in film often relates to our sense of justice.It is a very sad reflection on the minds of men, that they want violence as entertainment.
Or any violence that is not for justice.

Well for a buddhist we should not harm others, and movies made with voilance seem to be made for maing people think they can shoot someone and thy will just stand up again, even real life shootings has proven this.
I don't quite understand the part you wrote about standing up in real life shootings, but your Buddhist point was a good one. They should make more movies in the U.S. with Buddhists in mind.
The same stories don't appeal to everyone equally. I don't like football movies. Hockey movies and basketball movies are better.Why do mostly all movie today contain so much voilance?

I meant that many young people today have played with real guns and shot each other because they did not think the gun would kill them, they seen in movies that they gets shot and just after that they can stand up and fight more. and ofcourse that is not thecase in real life.

Oh, I see. Yes, that does make sense. But I'm uncertain how it reflects upon reality. I think most, even young children can make the distinction between reality and entertainment. I seen an excellent show about that by Penn & Teller once. On guns, and violence in video games. The same as the cartoons we grew up with, the games we would play, the movies, books . . . we are surrounded by that stuff, huh? Maybe we should ask ourselves why that is first.

Hockey seems more violent even though American football is more dangerous. Hockey to me seems safer but more violent. In football you can get hurt really bad with no one getting angry at all. In hockey on the other hand you can fight very hard without doing much damage.Hockey and football is rather violent, though, don't you think?
Justice is a little more complex. And violence in film often relates to our sense of justice.
Thus my statement stands.
There are not very many films worth watching now.

Talk about wild hyperbole. You must not have read the original versions of Grimm's Fairy Tales.Violence in movies are the end of the civilized world.
