[QUOTE]Originally posted by The Mighty Monkey of Mim: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Daniel Butler: [qb] I have to politely disagree, my diligent colleague. IMO an epic saga should be overdramatized and overacted. As for the CGI, well, if there really WERE gigantic underground cities, monsters of flame and shadow, armies of tens of thousands of orcs, and tens of thousands of undead shades - well, it would look more real than models or drawings would look. So, I don't really understand why you dislike the amount of CGI in the films. [/qb][/QUOTE]I realize there was no other way to do it and that's part of the problem. CGI now lets filmmakers basically do whatever they want with no account for believability and practicality. There's no way I can take that stuff seriously on film because there's so way I can suspend my disbelief when it looks so [i]unreal[/i]. This is not the kind of material that live-action cinema should be used for. Same goes for everything that has followed in LOTR's wake, like Narnia, Harry Potter, Beowulf, Golden Compass, and whatever other bumfuck fantasy elf/troll/wizard/dragon/unicorn-jizzed [i]thing[/i] the kiddies are going for these days. With print you have the ability to make things beleivable that would never in any way pass in a film. That's the power of human imagination. Animation would work too. I can't believe anyone would give an Academy FUCKING Award to something that tries to be a serious live action film with that sort of material, though. [/QB][/QUOTE]
