User:Stephenfisher2001/sandbox/Film industry itself

The American film industry is a large effect on the film industry in general since the early 20th century. The dominant style of American cinema is classical Hollywood cinema, which developed from 1913 to 1969 and is still typical of most films made there to this day.

It begin in the year 1878, Eadweard Muybridge demonstrated the power of photography to capture motion. In 1894, the world's first commercial motion-picture exhibition was given in New York City, using Thomas Edison's kinetoscope. In the following decades, production of silent film greatly expanded, studios formed and migrated to California, and films and the stories they told became much longer.

In 1908, the film industry itself begins to rise up.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) There are many bad, or worst films like Superman IV: The Quest for Peace, Battlefield Earth, Batman & Robin, The Happening, Alien 3, The Room, Jack and Jill, Jaws: The Revenge, I Know Who Killed Me, RoboCop 3, Son of the Mask, United Passions, Dirty Love, Transformers: Age of Extinction,
 * 2) *The Star Wars prequels weren't the best, though it at least were better than Disney's sequel trilogy.
 * 3) The 2000s decade was not a really good period in the American film industry, as it was filled with some forced sequels, remakes, rip-offs, film, etc. and only a handful of films managed to be successful both financially and critically (including audiences). Though it was not as a bad as the 2016-present era.
 * 4) *Despite that, it still gave us many memorable and nostalgic films and many fans and moviegoers still have a fondness for that decade.
