If that's a final render, then the materials need to bee more polished. Seeing as it's the center of a large city, the buildings should be a metallic-like reflective material, along with glass for the windows. The cars also look like basic rectangles to me, if you could define and shape them definitively then it would make a much more unique shot. Lastly, the lighting on the buildings is too soft; going with what I mentioned earlier, the light on the buildings should be harder and more direct. I suggest adding additional lamps with the sun light that it seems you have already used.
Hopefully you can improve on these things and become a better artist 
Juggernaut, I'm right there with you. 
Furthermore I think you should add some depth of field, maybe some more buildings in the background and is it possible that you've only created the front of the two towers? Even if you didn't, in my opinion the right one looks way too skinny

I know, I still need to work on the materials, but I've decided to do that once my current project is finished and I use Maya. 
Nevertheless I really do like how this turned out and hopefully so do you 
I like your scene Speck. Obviously the materials steel need some touching up, but it's still pretty solid as is. Also, nice work on the gunships, it must have taken forever to model (Also, Low Altitude Assault Transport gunships are my personal favorite star ship in Star Wars).

You should just use always the latest version. I believe the latest version right now is Bender 2.70
Spaceship, spaceship, SPACESHIP!
Does anyone have a good clear plastic material for Blender Internal? I'm really struggling here.
So, is everyone going to have cloud roads instead of on the ground in every futuristic movie?
Just a couple of tests.

Not really CGI, more like vfx, but any who, only place I could think of to put them up!

Those are great, Megagill! I especially like the Superman frame.
I'm curious...what did you use for the "glow" in the first frame?
ok, I have a issue:
it only occurs when I apply a texture.....
UPDATE:
fixed it, just had to add a 'normal' modifier.

guess i can double post now, asI want some feed back, not help as it where....
some what test'ishs(I will make it much less reflective.)
this is what it should look like, Im not quite done....
That last picture, especially, looks really nice.
I think lego cgi would be good if your going to destroy a huge city in lego..
Yeah, but a huge city would be harsh to build and animate, even in a computer. It's possible, as long as your computer can handle it. I've tried in the past and the computer I was using almost crashed, and I had only built half of one building.
Hence, build a render farm or use a render farm service.
Lech, what program is that that that you're using?
