Shorter above comments: “I don’t know anything about Bollywood (and am thus unqualified to pass judgement), but here’s my opinion nonetheless: I think it sucks. With music.”

I haven’t seen enough of Bollywood to qualify me as an expert, so don’t mean to cont out a whole genre or industry. Nevertheless, I have yet to see anything noteworthy come out of Bollywood. The action scenes are laughably unrealistic. Every second movie is a musical (and non-musicals have way too much singing and dancing in them.) To get a glimpse of what I mean check out the link.

I’m not well versed in Bollywood cinema either but everything I’ve seen has been absolutely unwatchable. I also have a problem with almost every musical movie I’ve ever seen except for Newsies; and that’s mostly because of my hetero-crush on Christian Bale. I think the musical is one genre that is more suitable for the stage.

Although CG movies have generally been more solid than live-action I still think they hardly ever take advantage of the freedom CG provides with cinematography. Monster House has this continuous shot at the end that would be unthinkable in live-action even with Bill Pope and ILM behind the scenes.

CG movies also generally donâ€™t take advantage of the freedom to set the story anywhere. I’m getting sick of seeing all-CG features centered on some part of the animal kingdom. That was done better than any of them in Babe. Where is my CG Bone movie!? Why do I have to be subjected to boring-ass farm animals constantly?
