Thanks fenix down, that's exactly how I feel too. If a movie is an anime or cartoon, then I accept that it's gonna be all animation. If a movie is based in reality, I expect to be able to escape into it. With all this CGI, you can't escape into it because you know the scenes could never have happened in the first place. But today's generation just doesn't seem to give a fuck.

Glad to know I'm not the only one who thinks this. Hollywood has gone too fucking far. Less is more, dumbasses. Jurassic Park got it right, so did Forrest Gump and of course Blade Runner and Aliens. CGI complemented their stories. Now I'm looking at The Hulk teaser and it's been too fucked up by computers to enjoy. Bill Bixby is already rolling in his grave. George Lucas is the ultimate lazy filmmaker. Noone cares if you use state-of-the-art visual effects to make those shots! In five years, CGI may be advanced enough to convince an audience without a doubt that a generated object looks real. Then everyone will be laughing at your retarded Yoda fight.

In a documentary on the making of Gangs of New York, Lucas said to Martin Scorcese on the set, "You know, you can generate all this with CG now." Thankfully Scorcese didn't agree with him.

The Matrix teaser was great; the one they released in Japan was fantastic. This commercial killed my expectations by 3/4. The scene with an Agent crushing a car on a highway, that looked stupid and unbelievable even if the storyboard called for it. I can live with it as long as it's only one of a few.

My hopes are down but I'll still see it anyway. :)
