If the OP is sarcastic, then completely agree. If not, then no way.

I'm firmly under the belief that some people will always think that "things USED to be better." It's not true. Maybe if you looked movie by movie, you could determine, but it's almost arbitrary. I call the 70s the best decade for film but that's because it has the largest collection of influential films. But it was all about timing. Cinema was reinventing itself and that decade was really the birth of the modern film.

But the truth is the 70s had countless shitty films. Just like now. And now has plenty of great, amazing works of art. You just have to know where to look.

I think there's certainly an argument to be made that the mainstream blockbusters are not as inventive because they're mostly just recycling old concepts, but that doesn't mean that there are absolutely no new, original stories out there. Just look. And yes, we're inundated with reboots, sequels, prequels, and spin-offs, but some are actually good, believe it or not. If it weren't for sequels we would never have The Godfather Part II, or The Empire Strikes Back.

People need to be a little more open minded. Sure, it's fun to bemoan modern Hollywood and decree every new movie a work of shit, but the truth is, if you do that, you're going to miss out on a lot of good films that 30 years from now people will be complaining are the types of movies that don't get made anymore.

Basically, what a crock of shit.
