And the Bourne movies. You can barely notice the CGI. The Bourne Ultimatum is especially good.
I've mixed reviews of CGI:
- Star Wars Ep. I - III are disgusting messes.
- Sin City and 300 (and I'm assuming the upcoming The Spirit) are eye candy. Delicious eye candy.
- The Matrix trilogy got progressively messy. (My official take is that there is only one Matrix film.)
- The LOTR trilogy is hit and miss, but it has far more hits than misses. Good balance of CGI and animitronics and makeup. (Weta, Weta!)
- I didn't watch Beowulf because it looks horrific.
- The Incredibles is incredible.
- Star Wars: The Clone Wars looks awesome.
- Where would Firefly and Battlestar Galactica be without CGI?
- I'm looking forward to The Dark Crystal 2, and it's hoped-for LOTR-esque CGI approach.
This, off the top of my head.
Oh, and The Incredible Hulk has yet to impress me. The first film I couldn't buy.
