Last great old-school adventure movie?
Or might that have been the first Pirates movie which in its defense has aged fairly well. CG skeletons not withstanding;maybe on par with some scenes with mummy Imhotep actually.
shareI disagree, I think this movie was not the end of the old era, but the beginning of the soulless CGI-centric modern fantasy/adventure film, the kind of film where the actors spend most of their working days in front of a green screen.
Note that this came out the same year as "The Phantom Menace", the exemplar of the new genre.
It might have been the beginning of a trend (action movies with prominent use of CGI), but you're forgetting how much practical effects are still used and how many scenes are actual sets. And pretty elaborate at that.
