You see, thats what i like about Romero and Argento,, good story,little if any cgi.
Alot of movies ( the bigger budget ones) rely too much on cgi effects and no story to speak of.

Most blockbusters are hoping that you are so overwhelmed by the visual onslaught that you'll never stop to think - "Wait, why am I watching this?"

And I've noticed over the last decade or so a rise in the reviews of movies that tend toward, "yeah, it wasn't tooo good, but the special effects are awesome!"

I need a bit more substance than that.

And it seems sometimes that entire movies are written around some CGI effect someone came up with...  ::)

But honestly, tho', I think Romero and Savini might've used CGI were it as readily available as it is now. Granted, the probably would've worked on the story, too, but they would've still used it.

I gotta say, tho, that there are still movies from the 80s and early 90s that had no CGI and have better special effects than some new CGI flicks.

Just look at Aliens.

That film still has amazing special effects and there's no CGI in the whole flick.

Or hell, The Thing or even Gremlins...

When they actually had to create real objects that were believable on screen. That's some serious talent, right there...

Has anyone here seen City Of God?
It's a Brazilian film Cidad De Deus,or Cidad Dos Homens City Of Men the sequel.
  They're both bless'ed brilliant films.

Troy was good too.

Romero used SOME cgi in Land of the Dead and Diary of the dead,used oly in very few scenes.

Romero is mainly a purist when it comes to effects, Greg Nicotero had to practicaly pull teath to use cgi in what few scenes there were.

Big movies like Believe, ID4 and Day after Tomarrow were just overwhelmed with cgi.
Fortunately ID4 actualy had a story to it between scenes.
 The hird Piates of the Carabean movie was made around the whirlpool scene. Im afraid 2012 is going to be another thats allcgi and no real story.
 I was urged by some idiot to see House Of The dead ( the only Ewe Boll movie I liked was Alone in the Dark).
House SUCKED!!!!! But all i heard in its defense was " It has special effects like The Matrix!".
 Its proof special effects dont make a movie. Look at  the last Matrix movie.
