These guys (especially Pixar) know how to tell a story, character development, plot. stuff movies should be based on. They also sprinkle in eye candy where needed.
movies built on the foundation of "special effects", brand, or actor are generally huge disappointments. yeah, GI Joe is gonna suck. ones built on the foundation of story, plot and character development are the ones that last.
"summer movies" are usually mindless demo reels of special effects, there is nothing wrong with that. they make money and entertain the audience...and spawn sequels for years to come, which leads to more money. as long as people are paying to see these, they will keep making them. heck, i will buy it when transformers comes on dvd, but most likely not see it in theater...unless it is for free.

JJ also seems to love lens flairs and a main complaint with him is that he is style of substance as well. Just not to the McG degree. And speaking of GI Joe I read somewhere that Stephan Sommers might have been fired by the studio and that they hired Stuart Bart to finish editing etc.
