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.
