The cinematography has alot to do with weather I enjoy a movie or not.. Here it looked more like a cartoon or comic book.. My job, as a motion picture electrician, is to completely light a scene so we can control it no matter what the sun/preexisting lights are doing.. This give the production control over time due to not having restraints on time of day.. While doing that, we try to make all lighting as natural as possible.. Just like every other crew on a movie.. You don't want the wardrobe, special effects, makeup, sets, etc etc etc to look fake, why would you want your lighting to look fake?? It was blasted out and overexposed to give it a cartoony feel, which took away from the griity, Joe Blow feel of what makes Indy great IMO.. You can say the lighting and effects were bad in HB2 all you want, but you are wrong.. Hell Boy is based off a comic book about mythical creatures and demons from Hell.. It's supposed to look surreal..
That's like compairing the cinematography of Reservoir Dogs and 300.. They have two completely different looks based on subject matter.. To say the lightening and cinematography isn't criteria to base the quality of the movie is insane..
