Man, I really hate how we have come to the conclusion (by media) that dinosaurs looked like big lizards.

What about those who didn't?

The mainstream image for dinosaurs is still of big lizards. Despite knowledge that they were more like giant flightless birds, depictions of dinos in movies and even factual programs still depict them otherwise
