Which is a pity.
But if we're going to engage in an honest critique of an artistic expression, we should do so like the actual critics do. You don't hear pros saying a movie sucks because its SFX have been outdone by the march of technology.
That's not what went down. One guy said he didn't like the movie for multiple reasons - one of which was the FX. It wasn't some treatise on SFX of the time, it was a simple explanation. It developed into some oddball uber exploration of what SFX were and are cuz some people simply couldn't accept what was said for some reason.
Basically it was an offhand comment. It was presented as a regular viewer would present it and not some critic. Going past that is delving into a wholly different discussion that has little if anything to do with what was being discussed.
