Seriously. A local arts theater recently played the 6 Thin Man movies as a series, and I hadn't seen them in a while. Aside from seeing them on a big screen, I couldn't believe that until the 6th one, they were all pretty damn good. Where sequels are concerned, you can pretty much count on downhill from the start now.
I think maybe some of it dates to the hiring of this infamous 'voice guy' who supposedly does all the voice overs. "In a world -" etc. etc. Suddenly that's the thing and if you're not doing it you don't get to make any more movies or something. It's just such a creativity killer.
Now the quality of the movies themselves is a whole other topic...

It's no wonder I prefer older movies. They have real plots and good acting!
