I have only seen the Werewolf* / London and the effects were ( for the time ) amazing, in fact it was fascinating! Such a degree of perfection! You would have wanted them too on films like Stephenson´s Mr. Hyde or Wide´s Dorian Gray! But it is a dangerous path as they left less over to your own fantasy, look at the German films of the impresionism time, no SE but all art in the visual and imagination of the director and skills of the cameraman.
The two last Star Wars ( actually the last of the first batch was already a cash / toys / Puppies cash in) were SO weak and boring after all this years of hoping for better sequels as the first " Matrix " realised ( The two others...terrible...like the Stars War three & four & five-not in the Lucas chronology- but as they actually came out.
Again the same scheme. the first two or three Bond were erotic ansd sensual, animalistic and sadistic..the right mixed..Some of the later had some times more humor, but were more self destructives and more a pastiche as of the rendition intend in Fleming´s books.
And that is the general tendancy world wide, starting from Hollywood it reach now every enchors, world wide.
Look at the French Films! The same shit, heve you seen " Le Pact des Loups " ?
The hollywood copy less the utterly American professionalism!
We should put some of our money where fantasy and art is still alive.
As cinema is a wonderful experience, it brings you in another world withtout danger ,in the cosyness of a theater or of your own four walls.

I think you're overdoing it a bit on special effects however.2001 is one of the greatest science fiction films IMO the best Science Fiction film ever made that actually had something relevant to say about mankind the universe our reliance on technology. The medium itself is a rather ironic to boot.
But there is a film that WITHOUT special effects would not have worked - the effects were integral to the story telling.
Now i certainly agree for the MOST part that filmakers rely on the effects over the screenwriter.
jar jar ruined Star Wars phantom menace. All CGI.
Yoda looked real in the 77 Star Wars. The difference was not effects...effects don't ruin the movie - the original didn't take itself seriously...it had serious elements and a huge larger than life story but it was funny. The Phantom Menace was a morbid bore.
Well, Ido not want to go all my critics on " 2001 " as often done here on this forum suffice is to say that I never like this film and certainly never will ( I try a little piece recently again ) I do find it artificial with pseudo deeph and glued to the 60´s LSD experiences irrevocably over done.
Well the text and pseudo religious terminalogy on all Star Wars were ridiculous as they were in the second Matrix ( the first one was actually clever made ) .
Never the less, I still did in a certain way enjoy the first two ( not really any more ) when they came out, the sound ...the picture dimension....
Lucas last remake, ruined them.
