I agree ...
over analytic Movie Nerds Suck.
CGI was bad in this film ( thats all )
CGI is still bad ( not as bad as escape from la ) ..its completely consumed all Movies today.
the non cgi parts of this movie are still cooler than most of todays films.
Lmao. Some of the stuff called out here really cracked me up. And yes, maybe they are getting carried away, but you have to admit, some of the scenes were just really awful, concerning the actions sequences and really should have been better thought out.
I mean, look, me, i dont care much, because considering what this movie and its prequel are really about (the message behind them concerning liberty, politics, freedom, government, lies, hypocrisy, and dyspotia), i can overlook even the worst scenes that were depicted here. (Check out my review in the top thread i made recently, for those who mostly missed the point of the movie).
Carpenter was never a fan of CGI or HW glamour in his films, which is one reason why i love the guy and hes a rare breed in the movie industry today. Not that all CGI is bad too, as i feel The Thing prequel in 2011 was VERY well done, and didnt have the HW cheesy nonsense that would have ruined it, and also respected the first film nicely. I do believe Carpenter would be proud of that film.
However, if you are going to use CGI, you need to go about it properly, and well, that was failed miserably in this movie, and it was done so poorly, that those who didnt understand the main focal points and deeper messages, had NO CHANCE of that whatsoever, since they were distracted so much with some of the very poorly done action scenes. I mean, holy sh-t, they spent 50mn on this movie, which i read was 1/2 of what was spent on T2. Lol, that's quite a bit of money there for the CGI effects to come out so bad. Im always one to suspend my disbelief quite a bit in many movies, but here, my goodness. You have guys like 10ft in the air, and 10ft from people on the ground firing endless automatic weapons and all missing? Lol...and the tidal wave thing, i mean, my goodness, what were they thinking with that nonsense? It just looked soooo bad lol. Something like that simply could never happen and is beyond ridiculous, not to mention, hes lit up with a bullet in the leg and from flu virus.
John himself admitted that Mission Impossible and ID4 looked like 'cartoons' to him, showing his disdain for CGI and Special FX. But man, if he felt that way so strongly, he should have just scratched them entirely and gone the Max Max 2 route (whole movie was done without a single CGI effect). The fact he wound up using it so much and in such a terrible fashion, just kinda leaves you with egg on your face a bit. Plus this was during the time of the CGI revolution in so many films back then.
However, stuff like the basketball thing, i didnt mind, because hey, it COULD happen. Ive made shots like that, full court, dozens of times, some planned, when just screwing around, some unplanned. Plus it was a hilarious scene too lol. Same with the hologram trick at the end, definitely was a great scene there and well thought out.
I love both movies and both endings equally, as they touch on some great esoteric issues. But overall, i still love the first film the most ,and how it exuded that awesome dark and dystopic feel.
37) it takes 2 minutes to walk from the top of Mulholland drive to the beverly hills hotel

44. Despite being a fundamental theocrat, the president is a corrupt hypocrite.
