Do you think modern day movie goers take CGI for granted?

Cause from the cgi movies I have seen (ie godzilla) thinking they'd be good I was totally let down so I avoid them as much as possible. Like I said in the summer movies thread. I cant even name 5 movies I've seen that came out this year. I never finished cap 2, but liked 22 jump street. Only really good movie I remember seeing was Enemy.

godzilla was dogshyt. who cares?

dogshyt was being released during the 70's-90's too.

Yea but most of those movies from back in the day at least had a decent plot with actors who could actually act. Now every movie has some teeny bopper actor or a musician turned actor starring in it to attract young people. These actors nowadays have no talent. Thats why movies rely on cgi so much. And dont get me started with trying to find a good story. Its damm near impossible outside of arthouse films and film festival picks. Why do you think 50% of movies being released these days are remakes or reboots. No one in hollywood has an orginal idea to save their life. Same things can be said about music.

1. because they're proven franchises

2. because people desire to see classic stories retold using the new state of the art technology.

i bet you all the shyt you're spewin about the dumb movies now there were people back then spewin the same shyt about movies like teen wolf and porky's. there's always been dumb movies for young people.

I didn't scoff at yall nor suggest anything, just stated my opinion on the movie (it was good, not dogshyt) and what I've seen in regards to it (only being criticized on the internet)....how you took that, I have nothing to do with....

thanks, i'm getting the blu-ray too....

to get the thread back on topic:

do you think cgi alone makes movies good?

Yes but your ignoring what I'm saying about the actors? None of these movies will age well cause the acting sucks. Yea you go to the movies and are blown away by the cgi but after its done you dont feel like you need to watch it ever again. Ie Avatar, The Avengers and every super hero movie thats come out post 2000 minus the dark knight trilogy. Acting is key.

there are plenty of movies being released with cgi effects that feature good character, good story, and good acting.

you're takin the "back in my day" thing a little too far. hollywood was churning out shyt back then too. it was common practice back then just as it is now.

Why dont you name some movies so we can actually have a debate. You are just talking like you're right with no proof. You cant name any great movies with cgi cause there are next to none.

what's the point. we obviously have different views on what makes a great movie so i don't imagine we'll be able to agree. but in the interest of fairness and debate, fine i will humor you.

most recent example would be dawn of the apes.

great cgi, great story, great characters, great action, great everything.

not everything needs to be a complex human drama. it was simple story told effectively and that's what made it a great movie.
