    I felt like they overused the CGI in this movie. In LOTR you had huge battle scenes, but there was some restraint in the depiction of characters (orcs all being played by real people for example). Here it was like they just threw all restraint out the window and did everything with computers. The problem is that as good as studios have gotten with this stuff, it still doesn't look real to me. The white orc, goblin king, etc...looked like characters from a video game. Compare this with something like Pan's Labyrinth where they used mostly costumes and animatronics...the characters in that movie were far more convincing and scary.

    • Yeah these crazy CGI movies worked for me in the late 90s and 2000's, not anymore though.CygnusZero4
    • It actually almost felt dated to me because the trend now is practical effects as much as possible.CygnusZero4
    • This movie is such a huge CGI fest, felt like it should have come out 10 years ago.CygnusZero4
