Do you think the Star Wars special effects suck?

It is often the lighting and the motion in the scenes in LotR which hide the obvious cartoony look associated with cg. Just look at gollum, he looks really cartoony sometimes. And the digital doubles in scenes don't really look better in this either, like in the legolas shots.

And what else was george supposed to use miniatures for in the prequels? He used them as much as he could, I don't know where else he should/could have used them.

And with the clones, I never knew they were digital in Attack of the clones until I found out they were. The thing that makes the clones look cartoony is the way they move. The actual digital models of them are very good, especially in episode 3.

Jackson used visuals only when he had to, with goluum and all, it did look good, the color aspect going along with gollum suited the environment. It was a dark gray look. With Star Wars, they used there best with all colors, Lucas was no pussy.
Many sceens with LOTR looks phoney, whenever they had to place a small little hobbit with the rest of the human croud.

Jackson used the kids to fill in when anywhere next to Gandalf, Aragorn, or even the little dwark.
Froto and the rest of the hobbits looked even more Fake, when they were next to the big people. they looked liked very small kids.

So, not using CG stuff in LOTR, made it look stupider

I love star wars

I agree that some of the shots of the hobbits next to the bigger people looked pretty bad, but I think it would have looked even worse if they used CG people. They just can't create photorealistic people usig CGI yet, and until they can I think they should stop doing it. But there are other methods Jackson could have used to create the difference in size, rather than using kids.

As for the Legolas digital double, I've already said that looked very bad. And I beleive that the shot could have been achieved much better using a real actor. Again, I will say that the technology has not yet reached a point where it can be seamlessly integrated into a live-action performance.

But I shouldn't really complain... Because the thing is, without these films using this technology in the way that they do, the technology would never grow or get better or get to a point where they can create photorealistic digital humans...

I just wish George had made some better decisions...

However the Cgi for the battles were really good though. Thats were CGI counts in huge movies. Sw had great effects and the battles in Rotk were great to look at. The huge battle at the city was great. Both movies had bad shots. However Rotk is better then Rots because the acting is better, much better. 9 for Rotk and 8.5 for Rots.

In some spots they were not great but overall if you said that the special effects really sucked I would show you to the drug rehab center.

no way who cares about the cgi the movie is still good

episode 1 hardly any cgi
who cares episode 1 sucks big time

uhh, yeah.... excellent rationalisation dude

🙄

And for a second there I thought we might be able to have a serious discussion... what a fool am I.

darht?

they dont suck. the cgi is nicely polish. I like it.

'polished'... and no it isn't.

... unless you mean it comes from Poland 😕

why are you following me? 😕

Because I enjoy making fun of you.

i goin to report you! now leave me alone.

I'll leave you alone when you stop making stupid statements without explaning them or even trying to back them up!

lol, Devil Dodo, poland 😂

anyway, as you were saying before
How can you replace the Legolas digital character with a real character, with such extreme shots?

I believe it could have been done. They could have shot the actor climbing over a bluescreen mound or something, and with clever camera work, I think it would have turned out better. But then, I'm no director, so what the hell do I know? 😉

yeah what do you know? 😆

It would look fake either way, CGI in star wars is all good
