just look at American Werewolf in London versus the one in Paris. Aside from the first one being rather geared as dark humour the EFFECT look better to boot.I'm not a huge fan of CGI. Occasionally it is done well...but some technicians are simply better than others. I actually prefer the stop motion and blue screen work and actual set construction of Empire Strikes back than the new Lucas Shlock cashing in on the Star Wars name.
I'm not against CGI if it's done well but theat last Bond movie was atrocious for effects.
The reason you go to a Bond movie is to have a laugh at the ridicuolous impossible stunts and the hero. Nothing is expected from those films than Bond beating up some bad guys to save the world in the most ridiculous plots imaginable. BUT, Bond movies were supposed to be the best action films visually - now it's just another video-game McMovie.
