Bill Nighy to voice Smaug in the hobbit[views:5549][posts:11]_________________________________________ [Oct 29,2010 1:00pm - TheRidersofDoom ""] I was hoping for Ron Perlman or better yet just go with good old Sean Connery but I am quite happy they got someone with a strong, unique voice. The guy playing Thorin looks like a fag though. http://www.liveforfilms.com/2010/10/22/the...f-smaug-and-lots-more-casting-news/ |

| ____________________________________ [Oct 29,2010 1:34pm - arilliusbm ""] I loved the Lotr movies and am partial to real-props as well, but I thought the CGI was excellent for the most part. My only real complaints are that sometimes gollum looked too fake, the Oliphants were ok (but the legolas scene where he destroyed one was a joke), and some of the cgi in general looked Meh. But overall, they nailed Hobbiton and Minas Tirith, Helms Deep, etc. Everything looked great. Also, keep in mind the CGI used in the movies is 10 years old now. |

That was the major design flaw that stood out to me. I pictured trolls to look a lot different when I was a wee lad growing up and reading the books. Perhaps the closest rendition t what a troll should look like is from the greatest computer game ever made, Age of Wonders: [img] |
