That CGI was garbage. Too much CGI takes me out of a movie faster than the terrible dialog and annoying characters.
Well see to me, I'd rather have good cgi than terrible looking practical effects. Lots of effects from the 70's and 80's just look horrible now. Seriously go back and they look terrible.
Granted, terrible looking cgi does take me out as well, but people complaining about CGI in modern movies are just laughable to me. You are complaining about something fake in a fake movie. Really?

To me, the pinnacle of special effects was RoTJ.
This is just laughable and insane, but hey that's your opinion.
I'm not a big sci-fi fan. I grew up with the Star Wars movies and to me, those hold up better than most other sci-fi movies. I think CGI has become a crutch for a good movie in terms of story line and visuals. They throw more and more random shite and flashy effects on the screen. It seems to work for the generation they are targeting who are wowed and impressed by it all. It's perhaps a generational thing. Chaotic and layered eye candy above substance in my opinion.
Give me Dark Crystal and RoTJ over Iron Man 2 any day.

People are paying for production values too. Game of Thrones has better production values than Star Wars and it's on cable. I'm not going to pay $10-15 for a movie ticket if they can't give me some visual stimulation that I can't get at home.
When the Star Wars movies came out, they were the pinnacle of visual spectacle. That was part of their larger appeal (along with an easy to access story among others).
But you are a Baby Boomer so everything in your youth/coming of age years is better than anything before and since, so this will go nowhere.

No, they should have stayed with the battle of the minds motif they had started with.
