SW:AotC was worth laughing at indeed. LotR had a couple of bad CGI->Film integrations, but lets face it: its a story flick, not a CG flick. The story carries the film, and the CG is mostly irrelevant.
unfortunately most of you seem to be so spoilt you can't actually appreciate the good aspects of most films - nor do many of you have a clue about how hard it is to actually make a good movie.
Its one thing to appreciate how hard it is to make a good movie, and quite another to look at garbage like Event Horizon and actually delude one's self that it is a good movie. I haven't the foggiest clue what exactly I'm supposed to be spoiled by, unless you're referring to the sudden proliferation of incredible "art" from Hollywood? Excuse me whilst I vomit.
Now, its very hard to come up with an origional idea these days - as evidenced by the mindnumbing amount of soap opera directed "entertainment" floating around the airwaves - and you just said yourself its a fusion of styles, and I think it does that very well. You didnt like it, fair enough - but that doesnt automatically make it a terrible film.
Event Horizon was a bad film on its own merits. The laundry list of incredibly bad decisions that led to this blasphemy being foisted on the viewing public is long, but the hilights are as follows:
Bad writing
Bad acting
Bad direction
Bad musical score
Bad effects integration
Bad pacing
Bad internal consistency
Bad idea
Please, defend something worthy of your effort.
