1. Professionalism – This is the first and the biggest quality in the Hollywood movies which
makes them better from any other film industry. From beginning till the end, they
visualize every scene and act so professionally that one can hardly find any flaw in that.
Lucas film and Pixar are the finest examples of determination, rigor, and
professionalism.
2. Subject Variety – It is hard to find such Hollywood movies which have similar subject.
Every movie comes with different story and concept. Whereas in other film industries,
they pick the same concept just with little variations which makes the movies really
boring and uninteresting to watch.
3. Graphics – No doubt Hollywood movies comes with the best graphics in the world. They
have very expert team members in the graphics which makes the effects and visuals look
real. Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, Gravity, Avengers, Inception, Jurassic Park and
Avatar are few of the best movies with amazing effects and graphics.
4. Screenwriters – Every aspect of these movies is related to the professionalism. They have
amazing screenwriters in their team which can turn an average script to a marvel.
5. Stick to the concept – Unlike other film industries where the movie gets out of track from
its real concept, Hollywood movies remain stick to it completely from start to end. If the
movie is based on the concept of music then you will find everything (story, concept,
script, and songs) related to music only.

2. 6. Budget – No doubt, Hollywood movies are made with huge budget which let them
choose better location, star cast and better audio/visual effects for their movies.
7. Large audience – As Hollywood movies are released worldwide, that’s why they have
large fan following and audience. Whereas in case of other film industries, movies are
released in their country and in 2 or 3 other countries (mostly). The reason behind this is
that English is the widely spoken language and people can understand it clearly.
8. Worth Watching – It’s not that Hollywood does not make bad movies. There are few
movies which are not liked by the audience but the list is quite less in that case. Most of
the movies (above 80%) are worth watching. You will not find that you have wasted your
2-3 hours in watching the movie.
9. Perfect Casting – You will rarely find the need to suggest any better substitute in a movie
for a character. The appropriateness of Hollywood casting is the main reason why those
characters become legends.
10. Background Sound Effects – Have you ever watched any Hollywood movie without
background music? Obviously no because that experience will be very dull. The perfect
background sound effects enhance the impact of the scene even more. They use the
sound effects very wisely whether they are horror, action or drama movies.
11. Make-up artists – When it comes to horror Hollywood movies, no one can beat them.
Their make-up artists are so skilled that they make a beautiful human to horrifying ghost
that looks almost like a real ghost.
12. Popularity of film not based on stars – Like most of the other film industries where the
success of the movie depends on the actors or actresses in the movie; Hollywood
industry do not rely on this plan at all. The success is completely based on the direction
and story line, no matter the actor/actress in the movie is famous or not
