See below.
Explanation:
The author is suggesting that bad movies were more amusing at a time in the past when the production values weren't as good as they are today. He/she suggests that one of the things that made bad movies amusing was their poor quality.
"Sophistication" in this sense is an improved understanding of the elements of plot, production, style, etc. This improvement, even in bad movies, removes some of the qualities that made bad movies amusing.
