bah, imho comments.... :bumbed

personally, i don't mind either way, lotr was pretty damn epic and had bloomin' loads of cgi.

It can be no bad thing, i mean the BoB film was great, but with cgi some of the action scenes could have been done brilliantly, and there could have been less reliance on a few clips of aircraft exploding. It can add variety and if done well be pretty damn convincing.

LotR did come to mind, but it was not overone in that film, in the smiliar way that avatar works. I just hate it when CGI is used for the sake of it. COmpare the old star-wars films with the new ones; the new ones may look better, but CGI is used where models could have been used which would have looked much more realistic. If we are to knit pick BoB then the whole thing can fall apart; particularly in the wardrobe department. However it is a classic, and I like it the way it is. Incidentally filming into the film (based on the excellent novel) 'first light' is underway so it will be interesting to see how that turns out. 8)
