Broadway caught the movie bug too, with seemingly real helicopters and the like. I thought they'd toned down a bit. But of course we've got Chitty Chitty Bang Bang now. It's supposedly quite impressive.
I personally think each medium is different and that the audience can take that. But, hey. I'm not a gatekeeper.
The funny thing to me is they never seem to learn from the "exceptions." A series like Harry Potter has people devouring extra long books and standing in line to get them. Yet there they are shortening the books you're talking about.
And the movies....they keep redoing literary classics. Speaking of Jane Austen....it seems they've got yet another version of Pride and Prejudice coming out soon.
