IceNine said:"Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, etal did not totally overdo the effect... many martial arts films are based out of a sort of mythology where masters had magical powers of a sort and could fly, etc. These effects are fine when used in the context of fantasy or things of that nature, but they are terribly annoying when used in every fucking fighting scene in every Hollywood movie. "
that's what I think too, it's the matrix syndrome..., they make Jet-Li looking like a puppet more than an actor now

Depends on the movie. But yes, it's over done these days

In that case I would strongly recommend you watch the fight scene between Hugh Grant and Colin Firth in 'Bridget Jones' Diary'. In my opinion this is the most realistic fight between two men that has ever been portrayed in a movie.
Go see, it's an absolute riot!

Hey IM SOO glad I aint the only one that feels like this about "wire fighting" and " live-action cartoons" have to be the absolut worst AND I hate their eyes they look evil why do ALL thier eyes have to look like that?

*giggling at the thought of seeing Tony watching Bridget Jones' Diary*

amen. that shit is sooo yesterday. The same with CGI. What happened to real fights and real animatronic puppets. If you see a creature now thats not CGI, people think its technology going backwards.?? Rip someones head off, put the creature back into a body suit and for gosh sakes, fight without zero gravity.
