Given the heavy reliance on CGI in most superhero films....(with the key exception being Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy, and a fair chunk of the X-films) could you give some examples of superhero films that
had good CGI action scenes, and those that had not-so-good ones ?
For example, I vastly preferred the action scenes in MOS to Avengers and Iron Man 2 and 3 - but that's just my personal taste.
I think the MOS fight scenes in Smallville were the best, and much better than anything in TASM 2 (although I liked the movie in general), again my personal opinion.
It's funny you say that Snyder 's style wasn't the best choice, because if you watch his other films, MOS is radically different in terms of the colour palette but even more of a departure in terms of how he films fight scenes. Snyder usually relies on slo-mo, yet in MOS the action was at full tilt, and not particularly stylized (no big spinning sweeping movements). I thought this made MOS a much more enjoyable watch (in terms of fight scenes) than Watchmen, or 300 (there's only so much slo-mo spear-impaling and sword-decapitating/disembowling that I can take).
If anything, Snyder took a page out of Michael Bay's book, but one of the better pages.
Still, I respect your opinion. Is your gripe with CGI in general or just with MOS ? ( by contrast, while not the greatest choreography, the scene where Bane beats down Batman in TDKR is still kind of chilling, just because its so personal, and the same is true for their final encounter, IMO).
