Other than horrible story telling there is little i hate more than overused, shit cgi. Fincher makes great films and now i have that much more respect for his work. *promote the appropriate finely tuned use of CGI to make movies the best they can be.

The only CGI I ever noticed in a Fincher film was Benjamin Button. I think he reached too far on that one... didn't like it personally.
All these other ones though... I had no idea. Who CGIs blood rivulets?! Jeezus.

While this may be true for Fincher films, it's also true for most films that are not thought of as VFX films.

It seems trendy to hate on CGI now, but most people don't understand when they are and aren't looking at it.

Do you really think people hate on cgi, just because it's cgi? I can't imagine that would ever be the case. I myself hate it when i notice it poorly done and looks like shit. Tends to take me out of the story/movie. Bad cgi like bad anything just sucks, and it's more apparent these days as it's used so much more.

KaptainKristian and David Fincher? Two of my favourites!

So yay to *quality analysis and *promote excellent film-making!

i see loads of people shit on VFX and CG like it's ONLY bad (and with almost no understanding of the process). often the stuff they complain about are massively difficult shots that could never work in the real world or because it was what the client wants and/or because their reference was other VFX, not real things. there is very little actually bad VFX in properly budgeted movies insofar as artist ability and technical knowledge. this is why i think james cameron or ang lee deserve zero credit for the VFX of avatar or life of pi. all they did was secure the money to get them made and then shit all over them with bad ideas.

No, it's not trendy. It's good taste hating on rubbish. The CGI that people hate on is lazy or unnecessary or both.

Remember how in the 90s everyone just used the T-1000 style graphical effect everywhere they could lol
