We have just watched The Spiderwick Chronicles.

I feel as if I have now had a lifetime supply of CGI creatures. Please ... no more.

We're about 2/3 the way through The Golden Compass, so I feel your pain. In about 10 years I think the CGI will be good enough we won't notice.

(So far, I think Golden Compass is about as good as a movie of that book could be; too bad it didn't make enough money for the other two volumes to get done. On the other hand, I kind of hope that Prince Caspian will be enough of a clunker to kill the Narnia movies.)

They will never be good enough. Because the problem isn't that they aren't already "good enough" by the standards by which these people measure "good". The problem is the standards. Artificial is not real, Poughkeepsie is not Elfland.
