Story telling has just evolved. The pacing of modern movies is more finely tuned. I can see how these movies used to be good but we’re just spoiled by better movies.
There’s also overwhelm as well! Cool thing about most prefixes in English is that they can be changed out for other prefixes or completely removed. Though, one wouldn’t quite hear somebody say antiwhelmed there’s still nothing against it.
I recently watched the lion king and was whelmed.

wait you can be whelmed? I had never considered that I had only ever heard people say underwhelmed.

I think you can in Europe.
Idon’t think so seems like whelemed and overwhelmed mean the same thing but whelm is out of usage https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/19430/why-do-people-say-over-and-underwhelmed-but-never-just-whelmed
It is a quote from the movie “10 Things I Hate About You” which I have seen more times than I can count.
You’re free to be overwhelmed, whelmed, or underwhelmed in any country! It’s just uncommon to remove any prefix from whelm.

Whelmed is a perfect description for how I felt about many movies (thanks for that!), but this one just underwhelmed me.
