Yeah, when they're actually interacting with the 3D to one degree or another it does work. However most of it is just actors cosplaying while pulling an appropriate face and everything being in the background, fucking anyone can do that. One of the reasons the older Michael Bay transformer movies looked so good was because the lunatic made the actors run through real explosions so they barely had to act lol. Even if you don't like the guy or what he does I do have to respect that adherence to proper stunts and effects.

The best example I can point to of a CGI character done right in movie history is Gollum, Weta Workshops really did some good work with that. The hobbits having to physically drag him around or getting into fights with him etc. really made it believable.
