Adding a little of the magic back:
In Episode I, Ewan McGregor got so into his lightsaber battles they had to keep reminding him not to make lightsaber sounds while dueling with Darth Maul.
naw i just woke and don't feel like arguing. i also don't keep many pictures on my computer so i don't have anything to throw back at you. go look at how many animators are in the credits for two. I just feel the whole movie felt fake and animated. I respect that you disagree. Even if had a lot of pics of people standing in front of green screens, i don't think it'd prove a lot. I just think in comparison to the OT, they animated and faked a lot of stuff they didn't have to because it was cheaper to animate it and looked better to kids. It's just my opinion.
Yes because every shot was dense, but look at the content. Just because it had "more" doesn't mean that the CGI **** doesn't stick out like a sore thumb.
to be fair though, most of the prequels took place on worlds they can't exactly replicate without CGI, like the exterior shots of coruscant, or everything on mustafar outside of where anakin slaughters the separatists, or kamino (Which i think was a mixture of a set and cgi), or felucia, or mygeeto, or cato neimoidia, or kashyyyk.
For some of that you're right, but the Coruscant CGI didn't even look bad, and most of Mustafar was practical. Most of the worlds done with CGI in the prequels were okay, the only worlds I disliked were things like >>#27 where it could have easily been done practically and it looks terrible. My main problems are the images like >>#28 and most of the shots with the Clone Troopers
well...i mean the clone troopers are exactly the same, they're supposed to be the same body mass and body type, that's not something you can really do with some random extras. if they were to do that, you could notice the differences when they stand in formation, like so.
i mean obviously it doesn't matter now, what with the jango fett clones most likely dying out after the original six movies. since the first order apparently kidnaps children according to finn.
Now I will agree that Grevious is some of the best CG I've seen in my life, even surpasses the blue dudes from Avatar IMHO. How did you feel about TFA?
we know they wernt, but they wher too much CGI, for example, every single ******* clone was CGI, even most of the close up ones, its stupid, and looks ugly as balls. a new hope special effects look better than the prequals, yea sure they are old as **** and look kinda sketchy, but at least it looks like effort went into them, and they dont stick out like a sore thumb.
thats not an excsuse and you know it, it would not have been hard to find 4/5 similarly shaped people, hell you could even use some CGI to make them look more alike, and it would still be 100x better than the CGI they used.
theres a scene where a clone takes off his helmet, and its the fakest ******* thing ive seen in my life, why they couldnt get the actual actor to come in and be in a clone costume for a bit is beyond me, instead they film his head and stick it ontop of a fake ass looking body.
i thought commander cody looked neat. honestly the only clones that don't look good are the ones in episode 2. I agree, they look gooey in attack of the clones, but i thought they made them look more realistic in episode III.
im not, the practical effects look amazing, they are really good. but holy **** , every single bit of CGI detracts from the movies. why did EVERY clone need to be CGI, why not hire at least a few actors to play the ones who where going to be in closeups, its so fake it hurts to watch somtimes. what they did wrong is, they used practical effects for the big scale stuff, like cities and landscapes, so they look good, but for all the close up stuff its all fake ****** CGI when it doesnt need to be at all.
oh I should say im (mostly) excluding episode 3 from what im saying, its mostly good (clones still look like **** )
and the droids in episode 1 look awful, just really, really awful. looks like the first render of the CGI accidentally made it into the final film.
And wow. I just re-read you first comment. I never said anything about the prequels use of CGI but you decided to start an argument about it. I only said that the prequels werent all CGI, why did you feel the need to argue with that? Its a fact, the prequel are not all CGI.
Seems to me like you only wanted to argue, so im done.
What were they supposed to do? If I'm not wrong this is the shot where they get forced to the middle of the arena because they get outnumbered. They can't build a real droidarmy or a life-size Geonosian arena.
Sure, they utilized practical models and miniatures, but despite this, the prequels still looked like garbage. Trying to defend those movies by insisting on their use of real-life assets is like saying a diet of pure mcdonalds is good for you, as long as you have a vegetable here and there.
Honestly I have to agree with CDC the force awakens I think tricked people with their so called practical effects sure I will give some credit to jar jar Abrams but he literally got away with corporate plagiarism I wanted a sequel not a ******* reboot and they got some ******* whiny little pretty boy prick to play kylo and is so bad was struggling with his accent throughout the entire movie no way is this guy deserve to be a sith he a overrated vader fan boy the prequels are never going to get the credit they deserve because I'm glad they took the time to build these massive worlds and used cgi at times because they are supposed to be massive in my opinion there is no planet in TFA that stood out they all look lazy and uninteresting the only planet I remember is jakku and that's because they say it like 12 times over all Star Wars is following marvel and is being dumbed down to sell to the larger audience tell me I'm wrong I dare you
This is what i watch whenever I start feeling down, it gives me a little hope, that maybe one day they'll remake 1,2,3 and make it what it shouldve been.
He had good ideas, but it's clear that episode 2 and 3 shouldn't have been left to JUST him either. Most of his ideas really like build up and climax, and make for really unexciting movies.
I didn't really have any problems with his episode 1 video though.
George Lucas created star wars then ruined it with ****** CG ******** that mucked up the OT and finding the actual un edited OT is ******* impossible. also the prequels were just bad. i remembered them fondly but after re watching them they were just bad movies. then JJ Abrams fixed it
it wasn't a scene for scene remake but you could tell they were trying hard to remind people of the good Star Wars films as much as possible as if to tell the audience "Don't worry this won't be anything like the prequels!". As long as they make the rest their own films it should be okay but after what Abrams did with Star Trek Into Darkness maybe i'm not so sure
