I did notice that McKellan looked a bit older the first time I saw AUJ, but don't really notice it when I watch anymore. I'm kind of happy that they didn't digitize Gandalf too much, considering what digital de-aging did to the appearance of the other Sir Ian. Holm to me looks NOTHING like he looked in LOTR. I'm guessing that they did something similar to Christopher Lee, but I didn't really notice as much with him.

As for McKellan appearing tired, I saw that maybe just a bit, but for the most part I thought McKellan seemed sharp. This is in contrast to both Holm and Lee, who both seemed downright lethargic. Then again, Holm's got almost 10 years on McKellan, and Lee's got almost 20.

                        Galadriel, Elrond and Legolas are bigger worries, but seem to have worked. Gandalf, as the earlier poster suggested AinurOlorin Send a private message to AinurOlorin Apr 27 2013, 10:52pm
