10 Movies That Are All Style & No Substance According to CBR

"The conflict between style and substance has existed since the birth of art—the relatively new field of cinema is no exception. In most cases, the critical value of a movie is based on a narrative that's supported, but not eclipsed, by aesthetic flair. However, this merely highlights the differences of opinion between critic and audience. At the same time, there are a few movies that depend so much on visual and aural extravagance that their plot/characters are either diluted or wholly obscured. This lack of substance, when set amid a profusion of cinematic splendor, becomes painfully apparent to anyone watching. That said, style-over-substance movies aren't necessarily bad, but they could have been so much more." - cbr.com
