why hate cgi?

that meaning computer animated stuff in movies... why is everyone so against it? thats one thing il never understand, but everywhere i look someone is talking down on cg and il never understand why someone would want a puppet that looks like crap over an animated beast that looks like your ultimate nightmare.

"can you love as much as you can hate?"

because a lot of the time they over do it. LOTR has done a great job with CG but matrix (2 &3) for example over did it.

nothing is without its flaws, everything can be over done, or under done or not done at all if you prefer that.

well yeh. but i dont see why they dont take the extra step and make sure it actually looks good.

van helsing looks good though, wel from what i seen

if LOTR can do a good job why cant others? i think because they rush it. even animation is being rushed (mainly because they are not doing it the old way anymore, they are using computers)

a lot of times, people use CGI as a crutch, which leads to them overdoing it. Star Wars 2 is a prime example. Yoda, Obi Wan and Sam Jackson are walking down a hallway. The hallway is in CGI. Think about it. It's not a flying lazer-cannon baby eater of death hallway, it's just a hallway. And it's in CGI. Hallways are not hard to find, I'm sure many of you have them in your house.

i think they would rather pay people to sit there ass in front of a computer

than to pay people to actually build stuff

probably cheaper that way too.... stingy bastards
