I personally can't dismiss a movie that's too "Hollywood". I'm not sure what that term even means. I love old Hollywood movies that were churned out of a the old studio film factory system. Sure, nowadays hollywood execs that make creative decisions for financial reasons can screw up a movie, but I have to admit that I do love some big-budget extravaganzas just for the sheer spectacle of it. Of course, the reason I like those types of movies isn't the same reason that I like a quiet low-budget movie, but why would you compare apples to oranges?
That's kinda how I see it. I can't dismiss a movie just because it's made by Hollywood. If it's good it's good, if not, then it's not.
