yeah but again 2012 is pretty flimsy we've seen stuff destroyed before but compare the unimaginative redundancy of something like that to something like King Kong (jackson), Minority Report (speilberg) or Sin City (rodriguez). There is so much more genuine creativity (visual and intellectual) in those movies than practically anything from Bay or Emmerich.

I don't want to have to break out Shakespear but with a lot of movies today I reminded of "a tale told by an idiot, filled with sound and fury signifying nothing." (not to name call, but it sums it up)

I didn't like 300 that much but I respect what Zack Snyder does, how he uses CG like paint. He may not be a great director but his style at least has some genuine creativity and flair. Take the look of the Watchmen for instance.

Snyder is at least artistically expressive and uses CG as a tool of his imagination not an excuse for one. Cameron and Zemeckis are two other directors who seem to be adopting CGI as the new frontier with experimental films like Beowulf, The Polar Express and Avatar.
