I wouldn't put "Superhero Movies."
I'd add "Current Filmmaking."

Not true. Example - Pixar.

Pixar isn't CGI, at least in the modern sense of the word. CGI is usually referred to as a live action with computer sequences. Which is different than a full length ANIMATION film.
It could be splitting hairs, but the difference - at least to me - is huge. |

I'm beginning to actively dislike CGI. If you can't film a "stunt" with live actors, perhaps it shouldn't be filmed in the first place.

CGI is a great tool. The problem is when directors go overboard with it and drench the film in it. It should be used sparingly, like old special effects were. Digital matte paintings are awesome, as is bullet time. Wacky Indiana Jones trees are not.

When they assassinated the dude in the car? AMAZING.
Also, the part where he uses that body as a human shield while firing through his head. That was epic.

However, the stunts they had in the film, especially the car flipping and picking him up or flying overhead of a limo, are the type of CGI that is becoming more and more prevalent. And it's replacing plot and believability. |

A lot of the stuff out now looks like it's from a Saturday afternoon SciFi channel flick...

I had no problem with the CGI in Wanted. I had big problems with the CGI in Indiana Jones.

Wanted didn't set itself up to be different than our reality. Instead, it merely told us there were assassins (who knew they were stunt drivers too) and they've been in humanity for 1000 years. What is different about the context of that universe? Contrasting, the Matrix told us everything. It's all computer code and we can manipulate it. Therefore the CGI was a tool in the universe. |
