I'm mad about Harrison Ford http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/film/8546869/Harrison-Ford-criticises-soulless-action-films.html jumping on the "it looks like a video game" bandwagon.

I think all of the people who say that mean the same thing, but that it's not a very good reference.  Bad/cheap CG is bad/cheap CG whether it's in a game, a movie, or an animated gif.  

I think a lot of Hollywood types have a chip on their shoulders that video games have cut into their business and a frank lot of them are better than their movies.

I really enjoyed seeing Zack Snyder confront one of his interviewers regarding Sucker Punch:

Lady: Blah blah blah.  Looks like a video game.
(Zack takes a moment to look a the young woman conducting the interview)
Zack: Have you ever played a video game?
Lady: Erm.... not really.
Zack: Then what do you mean by that comment, "Looks like a video game"?
Lady: Erm.... ha ha hah...
(Both laugh).
Zack: Because that's kind of a ridiculous thing to say...

Something like that.
