I'm looking forward to seeing The Smurfs (in 3D)... I'm not really interested in seeing the other movie...

Cowboys and Aliens looks good. The Smurfs looks like all of the other "cartoon characters brought into the real world" movies(Rocky and Bullwinkle, Fat Albert, etc etc etc)....Wait for DVD release on that.

Really?

I, myself am looking for a good film to see at a Drive-in...but it's slim pickens with this....

Universal's genre mix-up Cowboys & Aliens narrowly beat out Sony's over-performing kiddie film The Smurfs at the weekend box office, final Monday revenue tallies revealed.

Cowboys grossed $36.4 million over the weekend, according to Universal, while Sony says Smurfs took in $35.6 million.

I forgot to add that before them, they ruined Garfield with the CGI crap. :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

Going before that, I think Casper in 1995 started the CGI based on cartoons.

I'm not aware of any CGI adaptations that came before that.

I don't know what I hate more: CGI or 3-D. I really don't get their appeal.

Cowboys and Aliens really bombed, but I'm not surprised; the premise just didn't sound good.

isnt thedog in under dog moive in cgi they talk and fly i f igur theiralll cgi

i endjoyed cowboy vs aline it kindof like Independance day meets wild wild west. i likedi t a lot illl panling takem y mom for her birhtday to see the srufms the guy gott o play Gargamel ookslike him in the cartoons.

I don't know what I hate more: CGI or 3-D. I really don't get their appeal.

I really like watching 3D... but it's definitely way overused now, especially for financial reasons, far more so than artistic ones (the tacked on 3D in the Clash of the Titans remake being an obvious example of that)... I'm less fond of CGI, but it depends on the type of movie it's in, and how necessary it is to effectively (and realistically) bring something to life on screen... I've been a fan of the Hulk tv series since it originally aired in the '70s, when the character was played by actors, but I absolutely hated the contemporary CGI movie version/s of the character, so I couldn't enjoy the movies...

I notice that Green Lantern has disappeared quietly from the Top Ten, making very little impact.

It's a shame because he's a great character but even though I haven't seen it, I was afraid from the trailers and the casting of Ryan Reynolds that they were missing the target, badly.

Still think that Matthew Fox would have made a GREAT Hal Jordan!

Green Lantern has made over a hundred Million there was lots of competition out there.

The stupid thing too was, they made Odie a real dog instead of CGI made no sense.

Going before that, I think Casper in 1995 started the CGI based on cartoons.

Don't forget "Rocky and Bullwinkle" (2000)

What will they do next...make Woody Woodpecker into a CGI Film?

The Casper movie was awesome though!
