I prefer non-CGI stuff in my action movies because it's easier to get sucked into the illusion.It depends on the way it's used. When it's just a coat of paint over a shit movie, it sucks. But, I've enjoyed movies like Who Framed Roger Rabbit because the cartoon characters were part of the story and not just a novelty.
Quote: I guess I liked Avatar, though. 8.5/10. Awesome imaginative spectacle bogged down by a script that dragged in some places, iffy writing (the general was cartoonishly evil), and some rather heavy-handed political commentary.All the major characters were comic book archetypes. Beyond Colonel DeWarmonger, how about Dr. Pacifist or CEO McProfiteer? My favorite was definitely the protagonist who, through contact with the Nobel Savages, learns what it means to be human--just like Kevin Costner in Dances w/ Wolves, but without the character development.
