The Fountain deserved wide...Pan's Labyrinth deserved wide. Did any of these movies get it? No because instead directors will watch these underground films, rip off the style of it in a wide release movie and get all this praise for something they basically stole.

Jackson's problem is his pacing. His movie is already 3 hours long yet it feel twice that with how it's paced. V For Vendetta is a 90 minute movie but it feels alot longer, because it's paced slowly. And that's okay because it's not long to begin with. I don't know about any of you but I personally have back problems and I can't sit for to long without being in hell. A movie that distracts me from that must be entertaining. So any movie over 2 hours better be damn good.

I base what I like off how entertained I am when I watch it and how it makes me feel. I base what's GOOD off of style, atmosphere, story, and presentation. Kong had a style I have seen already*Jurassic Park anyone?* and I don't see any style in huge CGI-fest movies. I hate CGI honestly it ruins movies for me. And I give props to films that use CGI right, where it still looks good years later. Or use a mix of CGI and make up effects.

Few movies can use CGI right though. You might disagree but Silent Hill used CGI right, the only thing that bothered me about it was the bugs that followed pyramid head were shown to closely. But for the most part they CGI'd stuff that we don't know what it looks like. I know that's a terrible sentence but honestly when we see a CGI form of a human it looks totally fake to use, why is that? Because we know what a human looks like. Just like I know what a monkey looks like. I don't know what a twisted demon head looks like or Spider-man cause I've never seen them in person.

I watched The Thing the other day. The way they did make-up effects in that movie was amazing. The whole movie is amazing. But it all reminds me of the old style of things and how creative it was and how I miss it . Total Recall, Robocop, Terminator, Aliens. The effects in these movies are ground breaking and for the most part still look awesome even today. Why can't we bring that back? I'm sick of this CGI crap.

You study movies so you are always right about them, *cough*
