We see the Fellowship running across country, one stops briefly to say a stupid line, then runs some more. But what gets me the most is in the end of the third film where the camera pulls back and the hobbits look dwarfed by effects no better than the original King Kong. Clearly, someone was running out of time and imagination to allow that horrible scene. But, I'm done with this subject now. This ain't the place for it and I apoligize to the others who are here to talk about Cat Woman, a film for which at this time I have no opinion.
most of the world, the academy awards and numerous other ppl disagree with you, fellowship i do agree was a little stop start run, cut to panoramic ad nauseum, but to say the sfx are awful boggles my mind. Firstly it was a little NZ effects company that did this, not some ILM "we do this shit for breakfast" crew. Secondly the fight with the cave troll in FOTR is in my mind one of the single most impressive peices of action/CGI intergrated cinema i have ever seen. I dont think the effects were overdone or underdone, as for lacking imagination...imagine this..you have a budget ur making three movies back to back, studio takes risk and gambles on something that could ultimatly mean lights out. Well sorry if everything cant be PREFECT, do u have any idea how much sfx shots cost?? and the time it takes to produce them. it takes longer to do effects shots that it does to complete principal photography, 3 yrs in post production roughly for that movie.
now ur either one of those freaky tolkien purists, in which case there's no reasoning with you, ur bible is sacred and ur considerd hard line extremists.
Or u r just really over opinionated.
but so am i i guess, but calling someone a bofoon, err ok
