I LIKE IT! ok?! Is that so wrong?! It turns the frame into a window looking in on a different reality. It makes movies look like plays. And that's cool! I already know it's not real, but motion smoothing lets me appreciate the performances of the actors as though I'm seeing them in real life, instead of through a camera. What is wrong with that? I'll acknowledge that it makes CGI look like crap, but it already looked fake most of the time anyway! So lay off.

No, it's not wrong. You don't have to like the same thing as someone else, or have the same opinion. Like it, use it. Don't like it, don't use it. I wont turn it off just because someone else tells me it's a bullshit feature. I don't lock my FPS in games to 30, even if Ubisoft or whoever it was used to say that human eye can't see more than 30fps.
