QuoteLeave the f-word in the gutter and let's get to the point: Is all you care about in a movie the over-all story? What about the characters (some movie characters are so cool that you grow fond of them, even though the story sucks) and certain moments that make a movie special? I prefer character-driven stories, where the story evolves around them, not vice versa.

Take "Lost in Translation", for instance. If you watch it primarily for the story, you'll probably get pretty bored. But if you watch it with a focus on the characters, you'll fall in love with the movie instantly.
QuoteCGI aside, "Aliens" for example was ENHANCED (the scenes were "expanded", more material was added, you're getting a deeper look into the characters: Ripley, Newt, Hicks) -- it wasn't ALTERED in any way (i.e. no change of the already existing material: lines, music score, etc.).
Plus many movies I like have no CGI.
Aliens
THAT's the difference and the reason why many SW fans reject the SE.
As for colorization: Well, everthing's been said. When you colorize a movie, you alter it, you don't enhance it.
