I'm hoping James Cameron puts some of the money towards that, rather than profit off of unoriginal ideas and exploitation of stuff that really goes on. |

| ____________________________________ [Dec 29,2009 4:15pm - arilliusbm ""] I liked it but left feeling disappointed. Looking back, had it not had the animation and effects it had, it would be similar to a mediorce Disney cartoon. Animation and effects aren't everything. |

Come on, you had this whole plot figured out by the time you saw the first 30 second trailer. This movie was about getting sweet ass special effects shot into your brain for 3 hours. And it delivered. |
| ____________________________________ [Dec 29,2009 4:32pm - arilliusbm ""] One last disappointing thing: no props. The reason why the lotr movies were awesome is because they went hybrid and combined both cgi and real props. This movie was cgi overload with little to no props involved. CGI is great and all with today's technology, but let us not forget the art of a good fucking prop or costume. Neverending story > avatar |
| ____________________________________ [Dec 29,2009 4:38pm - arilliusbm ""] Mike, of course I did. I was hoping to story was a little better and less cliche but it failed. This movie was like most hot blonde chicks: great to look at but completely empty inside. |

| __________________________________________ [Dec 30,2009 10:05am - TheRidersofDoom ""] On a serial note, on the note of CGI, I think it should only be used when you can't do without it, which is why I am excited that my nigga Guillermo del torro is doing the Hobbit. His philosophy is to use cgi only for things costumes, puppets, and makeup can't do. fucking animatronic Smaugs and such. CGI is part of the reason I hated the new star wars, I mean, ammaright the originals looked way better. |
| _______________________________ [Dec 30,2009 10:37am - Yeti ""] CGI has no soul. so much hard work went into making Star Wars look incredible, and 30+ years later it still looks better than a lot of movies. few movies have wowed me with CGI, Jurassic Park, T2 and LOTR to name a few. and an animatronic Smaug would be amazing, but think of the dimension they can bring with some CGI. |

| _______________________________________ [Dec 30,2009 11:51pm - the_reverend ""] this movie was awesome. There were a couple "brave heart" things, but still it was beautiful. Some scenes had too much going on in them. The only thing that sucked was the end of the movie. They ended with a song that sucked. |
| ______________________________________ [Dec 31,2009 12:25am - i_am_not_me ""] Yeah, it took a lot of restraint (Mostly because of the "I know what you're going to do and please please PLEASE DON'T do it" looks I was getting from my friend) not to yell out "YOU MAY TAKE OUR LIVES BUT YOU'LL NEVER TAKE............OUR FREEDOM!" |

| ___________________________________ [Dec 31,2009 4:31am - Spaldino ""] i saw it blazed as fuck and non-3d and i thought it was an enjoyable movie. the CG for the "blue people" was awesomeawesomeawesome. plot was mad predictable, but it was still good. |
| _____________________________________ [Dec 31,2009 10:54am - arilliusbm ""] Ferngully = waaay better |
| __________________________________________ [Dec 31,2009 11:13am - TheRidersofDoom ""] My friend's main selling point was that the cgi and live action melded together so well that it was revolutionary... didn't they do that in LOTR? or with 300? I'm pretty sure 90 percent of 300 was green screen |
| _______________________________________ [Dec 31,2009 12:05pm - the_reverend ""] but in this movie, they used blue screen. |
