It's not a comedy, it's a drama romance about life. Pitt plays Death, inhabiting the body of a freshly killed young man (guess how). This scene is funny as a gif but it's shocking in the movie.

I saw it in the theater back in the 90s and everyone laughed because it was so shocking and over the top.

And ? Most recent movies suck even more so i don’t understand your point. I still wait for a better Sci-fi movie than Alien and it was made in 1979.

My point is cgi in 1998 was shit compared to todays standards. This was probably pretty good 98. Probably not “cheap” either.

It’s not the special effect the problem here, it’s the delivery and the editing that’s comedic. I can make an abstraction of the technology of the time for an old movie. Bad editing is still bad. 1993 Jurassic Park CGI didn’t aged that well but it’s still a better movie than all the recent Jurassic World movies.
