"Unsurprisingly, with so many movies released every year (with a total of 403 movies released in the United States and Canada in 2021), some movies are naturally overlooked. Of course, there are many reasons a film may be forgettable, from an uninteresting cast, bad writing, or just being poorly executed in a general sense. Fantasy movies are particularly susceptible to being erased from memory, especially during the 2000s and 2010s when fantasy and sci-fi were popular genres. Some movies have been forgotten just by chance, perhaps because starring actors have gone on to bigger and better things, such is the case with the likes of Henry Cavill and Vin Diesel. Alternatively, some films have spelled an early end for would-be stars, leaving them relegated to direct-to-video status." -cbr.com
