what a load of old shit. Weta's done some awful stuff compared to todays work.
King Kong looked as unreal as all the stuff he's complaining about and their early CG stuntmen are shocking.
Using a relatively cheap (low fx budget) Hulk movie and Avatar as examples of things not looking realistic is hardly damning evidence.

That's not the point, I think
Rather, Kong and Avatar marked the point where CGI took over and whole scenes would be rendered in block busters. Before, as in the earlier Hulk, less realistic CGI placed in more realistic filmed sequences actually made more believable films. I tend to argee with this.
Not to the point of making a YouTube video about it though, so meh.

Yeah I believe there is.
I can kind of see the point though. It's the ones that shiny it up too much. The real world is fucking shit and boring so to make it realistic, generally that's what your backdrop has to be.

Also the weighting is a problem
CGI action still gets the weighting wrong so much, so people and objects are being thrown through the air, but they fly like toys. Nothing ever feels real if the weight's wrong.
