Yeah theres' a lot of money being spent on CGI space battles, CGI explosions, CGI cars jumping from planes to buildings, CGI giant sharks, etc. etc. etc. I know the stop motion giant apes and dinosaurs, like the mechanical shark in the first Jaws movie, have been greatly overtaken by other technologies, but there's a charm to the old school stuff. The willful suspension of disbelief that they required of the audience, and all that.
Give me a good old school samurai movie with violence that is swift but not gory and I'm happy.
Have a great long weekend!
