Who has better CGI? LOTR or Star Wars?

Who do you think has better computer graphics?
For me it's Lord of the Rings! The new Star Wars movie has way too much noticeable "fake" CGI's. Also, I think they overloaded the whole movie with it!

I agree. Jackson knows that less is better. Lucas is a(edited, no need for cuz words - FINTI) idiot. By having too much CGI it makes the movie look just too fake. If yer gonna have a live action movie mixed with CGI, dont put more CGI in than actual humans, surroundings, etc. Star Wars looks like a Final Fantasy movie sometimes- CGI Clonetroopers?! Bad (edited) idea. They LOOK CGI!!! Thats not aloud. Lord of the Rings has CGI but Pete Jackson knows when to not use it. Lucas uses it cuz hes lazy or hes just stupid and thinks it looks real. Gollum looks amazing, Jar Jar and Yoda have CGI written all over their faces.

My vote: Nerd of the Rings 😎

Yup. Lucas should learn the phrase, "Less is more". He definitely abused the power behind CGI.
Has anyone seen Jurasic Park 2 and 3? Compare those two and you'll agree that the dinosaurs in JP3 looks more real than JP1 or 2. Why? Is it better CGI technology? Not really. The director of the movie decided to go with more Anima-tronics rather than CGI's.

Well not all cgi in LOTR was good, the Ents sucked so in my opinion it would be both have good and bad cgi.
And for one who thinks

People who analyze movies are a disgrace

Who's analyzing? Saying things like "I think there should be less CGI here/ there..." isn't analyzing. It's simply a matter of opinion. Analyzing would be like discussing why Anakin Skywalker has a fag tag and how characters in the Star Wars universe cut their hair.

lord of the rings uses special effects better, lucas just seems to do it just to show it off, where as jackson does it to enhance the story.

Well Two Towers had some moments of bad cgi, both films used the potential of the technology to the full. That is as advanced it is at present time. Golum was awesome though

Star Wars does far better digital characters. Whenever Legolas goes into CGI mode he sticks out very badly, whereas there are entire sequences in AOTC that I would not have known were computer effects had I not been told.

Less WOULDN'T be more for Lucas, whose entire raison d'etre for all this is to use technology to create an artificial world. If that is not your cup of tea then fine, but that is his approach and many appreciate it. In LOTR the approach is different, with almost all the scenery being for real, what with Middle-Earth actually being based upon this planet, after all.

Star Wars is still doing more and better things with cgi; the blanket approach may not appeal to all but it is still the better quality stuff.

i can't compare them...lotr has far less cgis then starwars. They're both very good quality, though they were a tad too predominant in aotc.
I can't say anything about TTT cuz i didn't see it yet, but comparing the big monsters, the arena scene in aotc was better immaged then the cave troll in fotr.

gollum looks better than anything GL has ever made, period. and i think the ents looked good. but still, SW has better CGI in general.

LOTR has the best CGI, but I personally feel Pearl Harbor has the best CGI for a film..... but thats just me!

You can't deny that Pearl Harbor has nearly perfect CGI. I couldn't tell what was CGI. Everything looked amazing.

it's not that hard to get those results at todays tech .............and at their financial resources. But the lotr and sw cgis are simply harder to make for they represent fictional actions. (i'm not saying that there aren't war movies with bad cgis)

LOTR has the best cgi!

I'm for LOTR for computer graphics.. the only thing that was a little iffy in that movie was the ents in my opinion, everything else was great. And to tell you the truth... the second star wars movie... well lets just say it was a bit of a dissapointment... sorry to all those fans out there... but I still prefer the old style starwars...

Seriously, the CGI Legolas was VERY iffy! Likewise the CGI Boromir being thrown by the cave troll in the extended DVD scene.

It's ups and downs at who is better at what.

ilm claimes that Pearl Harbor is the best work they have ever done..even better than SW

They dealt with stuff they could study how they moved and stuff in PH, LOTR and SW deals with fantasy creatures that you have to make up how the movements are
