Wonder what character Dorrf could play in the MCU?lol
I'd say that SOME of the Transformers movies and SOME of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies were not disapointing. I love the first three Pirates movies, thought the 4th was ok, never saw the 5th.
I enjoyed Transformers 1 & 4 and Bumblebee; I enjoyed HALF of Transformers 3, and Transformers 2 I got a free ticket to see it in theaters, and I still felt I paid too much.
As for the CGI debate- Black Panther had one sequence where it looked pretty bad (the end fight), other than that I thought it was very good. I've thought the MCU has had excellent CGI across the board, though I agree in a decade or less it will probably look bad. That's just down to the advancement of technology.
As for Stephen Dorf- I haven't thought about him since Blade. And he's probably pissed that he tried out for a Marvel movie and didn't get it.
There came a time when the Old Gods died! The Brave died with the Cunning! The Noble perished locked in battle with unleashed Evil! It was the last day for them! An ancient era was passing in fiery holocaust!
Thanks for providing a perfect example for my argument without even realizing it. Star Wars had great special effects, yet Annie Hall won the Oscar for best picture deservedly because it is better than Star Wars in any aspect that truly matters, that is directing, screenplay, and acting. As I said, special effects are negligible compared to these categories.
Oh and by the way Nolan did get a best director nomination for Dunkirk.

Tolstoy will live forever. Some people do. But that's not enough. It's not the length of a life that matters, just the depth of it. The chances we take. The paths we choose. How we go on when our hearts break. Hearts always break and so we bend with our hearts. And we sway. But in the end what matters is that we loved... and lived.
I thought people didn't like Woody Allen anymore
Transformers had cool CGI.
VFX can be a tricky thing , especially how and when to use it in comic films, but I rather just reduce my comic films commentary because people will just turn it into another bad bad bad marvel vs dc debate. Maybe science fiction will be a more better example because there will be more balance in the discussions.
Jurassic Park 1993 is an excellent movie, a top 5 Spielberg film. and the VFX was a part of that
Now if you consider another film like Godzilla 98, the cgi was not bad, although it felt as if some visual artistic style of Jurassic Park was lacking in how Godzilla looked and moved to the Dinosaurs in Jurassic Park.
Godzilla was also so messy in the last act, that it just really became a bloated CGI Mess. which many will see as bad.
Jurassic park just had and kept a Refineness that Godzilla 1998 lacked. Even if Jurassic Park didn't have an amazing screenplay, it will still have been the better film of the two because the technical aspect of the film was a masterclass. Godzilla not so much in that area.

New Kubrick: "GET ME DORFF!"
Stephen Dorff: "Oh, Mr. New Kubrick, I can't tell you how excited I am to work with you..."
New Kubrick: "Wait... I thought you were that little short guy who made the funny golf videos. Get me that guy. WHADDAYA MEAN HE'S DEAD? BRING HIM BACK TO LIFE! I AM NEW KUBRICK!'
...Does anyone actually care what Stephen Dorff has to say about what actors do to paychecks? Other than True Detective has he been in anything remotely notable the past decade? This was likely a smart PR move on his part to get some attention.
Stephen Dorff isn’t the first Hollywood personality who bad mouth the MCU and he won’t be the last.
