    Gravity as someone mentioned above is another example of a film that is heavily reliant on effects, but you don't even notice because they are a seamless part of the experience. There's really no reason why The Hobbit had to be any more effects-intense or over the top than say, Game of a Thrones, which is a similar genre and also comes off as naturalistic. With a lot of recent Hollywood films it feels like they are just trying to crank it to 11 with the action sequences - like the movie is storyboarded by a fifteen year old or something. The overall effect is boring instead of exciting.

    • Game of thrones looks really cheap and crappy in my opinionmarychain
    • well game of thrones you're invested in the characters and story. I think Jackson's take on the hobbit is seriously flawed.inteliboy
    • Most people like GOT though despite the more limited scaleukit2
