I think the issue with the endless CG (the crappy stuff) is that the goal of effects used to be to suspend disbelief, now it's just to show cool stuff, and they almost WANT it to have a CG look rather than strive for more realism. Why does 1993 Jurassic Park's CG dinos look better than most stuff today? Far too much CG for the budget/timeframe to do well, or it is simply that they actually want that fake aesthetic?
For the Hobbit, why does Golum look and move pretty good, but Legolas looks like a rag doll in CG? Legolas suffered the same fate in ROTK, so is it intentional? Is CG still unable to replicate realistic movement without aid of capture suits?
