Why is there no weight to the animals' movement when it comes to CG usage these days? Is it just a case of lazy filmmaking?
Lazy audiences.
Where dodgy, unconvincing effects would ruin effects pictures, they're perfectly fine these days so long as the spectacle itself is big enough. The CGI gets more and more technically accomplished -- better shaders, better movements, better textures, etc. -- but the people in control of them have become convinced (and the public financially backed up the idea) that "The only limit is your imagination!" is actually a good mantra to have.
The CGI in JW is beautiful, but it's not the least
convincing. You still watch JP and feel like you're watching dinosaurs. You watch JW and feel you're watching CGI dinosaurs. Big difference.
