The Watchmen

tlew said:
Ive never read the Watchmen comic series, nor was I even familiar with the books until I heard about the movie. That said, from what Ive seen in the trailers, the CGI, especially the scenes depicting some blue energy type character, look incredibly lame. It never ceases to amaze me what these multi-million dollar productions think is good CGI.. or maybe they are aware it looks like shi* and dont really care.

Hmm, that's subjective though, I think the CG work looks awesome. But I'm a Watchmen homer so I would have been cool with a blue sock-puppet.
 
Agreed Spidey. After watching the 2nd trailer for this ... immediately went and read the graphic novel. Everyone do yourself a favor and go grab a copy, spend 6-7 hours and read it cover to cover. Watch the trailer again after that and you will spend the next 3 months anxiously awaiting this movie.

there's also a SICK video blog for the movie here:

I don't understand everyone's hate for the CG in this thread. I think it looks great, the trailer made me go out and buy the graphic novel and now I'm having a great time reading it. Are people honestly upset that things that don't exist in real life don't look 100% real? As human beings it's automatically hard to look at anything like that and believe it as real. For example I hate human flight, it always looks bad to me, it doesn't seem real no matter how it's done, I don't think anyone has nailed it yet. That said it doesn't destroy an experience for me because I understand it in the context it's used in, something important to do in any movie, with CG or not.

It just sounds like people are trying to be dicks for no reason. If between the first and the second trailer you haven't seen any good CG work why has what's been released so far been so well received? Why do such crappy effects artists get work? Why aren't you doing their job? What else in recent memory had an equivalent mix of CG and practical effects that looked so much better?

If you think something is the nadir of suckage, fine state why, state who's done it better, at least make an attempt at sensible criticism.
"Blue guy = laaaaME, are they trying to suck?" Just makes you look stupid.
 
I don't think the CG looks bad. But I have to admit, trailer 2 dampened my expectations a bit. In that one we see people talk and they chose clips where it looks like everyone is overacting a tad...Still holding out hope!
 
That was awesome. Whoever made that did a great job at making it look real. I love that there's even video blur and static at the bottom of the frame, and that it cuts out to blue at the end.
