Utterly baffled by the CGI complaints
[In reply to]

I've worked with effects before and it's stunning how well-integrated into their environment the trolls are. Their level of detail and expressiveness is quite astonishing, as they move in reaction to the actors in a convincing way that I've seen from few other creatures of their kind. I'm sorry, but I simply cannot see, nor agree with, the "well-done painting" criticism...these trolls look incredibly lifelike. WETA is one of the most accomplished digital effects artists in the world. All of these complaints about the CGI are really surprising me, because everything I've seen, from an effects artist's standpoint, look really, really good.
