As long as they look better than the Hyenas from LOTR [In reply to] Can't Post

then i dont mind. I havent seen the new photos of the wargs though i did catch a glimpse of them in the trailer and that long poster/scroll thing.

To me going from those images they look much more wolf like which is a good thing, but also just different enough so as to separate them from people going, 'oh its just an ordinary wolf'.

As for CGI. if i have seen the animal in real life then the CGI looks fake - so hedgehog to me is fake looking as are the eagles from lotr. However if it is a mythical/fantasy creature then i have no real world animal/object to compare it to mentally and so my mind seems to accept it much more easily. I havent seen enough of the wargs moving around on film to say whether they look real or not - i dont think a photo can make you say one way or the other.
