Film: The Hobbit : Battle of the five armies (December 2014)

[nyquillyn]

Yeah, the CGI in the action sequences in that trailer look horrendous.

[dimejinky99]

this trailer was a marked mprovement on the previous two films cgi. Not kidding.

[stip]

I've generally been a big fan of his effects and style, and it's been a while since I've watched LOTR, but it all felt of a piece to me. What are some of the things that people think look terrible?

[dimejinky99]

The whole boat chase sequence in the last one...ten minutes long and so poorly rendered as to be baffling..

also the giant golden dwarf....wtf???

[stip]

The statue looked fine to me. Then again, I kinda like the golden dwarf. Granted, there may have been better choices to have done, but I totally buy that the dwarven kingdom had turned its resources towards making an 80 foot tall golden statue of their kind, and I like the idea of being entranced by gold being the thing that (almost) kills Smaug.

I have some issues with the first two films (the first one especially) but I'm pretty in sync with what (I think) they're trying to do.

stip is the consummate anti-auteur

[stip]

anti semite

look, at least Peter Jackson had the good sense to make it a dwarf instead of a star of david.

The guy manning the 3D 48fps projector.

[McParadigm]

I think Bilbo Baggins is in the reflection. Maybe he makes an appearance?

Also, it looks like he's holding

Spoiler: show

something

[epilogue]

Much like those leaked Star Wars photos that everyone is saying as super spoilery... I have no idea what I'm looking at in that reflection. I don't get it. Doesn't look like there's anything to make much of.

Not that I care either way. I won't be seeing the movie.
