Yeah 80s/90s were the sweet spot for action movies. Most of them were naive and predictable, but also incredibly easy to digest. I’d say it was kind of WYSIWYG in movie space: good guys were good, bud guys were bad, plot was easy so your dog can comprehend it, no complicated backstory, no bullshit, just action and enjoyable fun.
When you don’t want to do, you can watch someone else do on twitch… I’m not even GenZ and I kind of do the same thing sometimes.
