can we at least agree the cgi was shit in all the tlotr movies?

>an angel leads a calvary charge against a horde of corrupted elves
>unrealistic
n-no

Kill yourself pleb.
Just because you were 2 years old when LOTR came out, doesnt mean it wasnt amazing.
>>70262667
Fucking faggot here's your (you) kill yourself
its amazing how stupid so many things in this movie are and yet you get so inmersed in it and not even mind shit like swords cutting through armor like butter and legolas flying on top of a shield
Not a cavalry charge but almost the same thing - orcs charging a fortified, bristling line of dwarves only for elves to leap over that defensive line and directly fight the charging orcs with their little swords.

>the small scale single subject CGI was good
>therefore the rest is completely unassailable
Not how it works. Hell, once you look past the stellar performance of Andy Serkis, even gollum looks like shit most times.
>>70262997
Heres your (you).
>>70263021
Even jackson admits the CGI was pretty bad, but serkis' performance was mainly what sold it.
But, hey, why would a lotr obsessive actually watch the special features?
>>70262506
It was such a terrible movie.
>>70262969
I was so mad when that happened. Fucking elves trying to be ninja at everything.
>>70262874
no I was an adult when tlotr came out and lots of the cgi looked as bad then as it does now
>>70262490
>implying shit like that didn't happen in real life
1200 cavalry units charge -> 6000 enemies dead
Only 12 attacking casualties
The Spaniards were a hell of an enemy during their golden century.

Anon, this is /tv/.
No one here knows shit about anything.
>>70263306
considering i'm a pole, check out some hussary battles, mostly the ones against Turks. In terms of numbers, the statistics are just marvelous.
>>70263306
what a century, indeed. I would've feel proud of my country back then. now it's just a fucking shithole.
>>70263825
*hussars. Mostly the Battle of Klushino.

Plus the horses that Rohan uses are special kind of horses that were blessed by the gods or something
>>70262874
The MCS may have been impressing but Gollum always looked out of place.
>>70263306
I think what OP is saying is that the formations, or lack there off, is what is retarded.
Armies who simply lined up like in OPs pic would usually get their shit wrecked by armies of equal numbers but with better leadership.

I thought their horses were literally horse gods?
>>70263306
Cavalry is used to give the final blow to morale and rout the enemy or exploit huge flaws in the enemy's formation. Not riding into a huge army of monsters carrying 6 meter spears and that somehow don't know how to turn 90° clockwise and point their spears in the general direction of a bunch of unarmored horses in disarray.

Shadowfax is the last of the horses blessed by the Valar. The rest of Rohan just has extremely good cavalry, from horse archers to lancers. Gondor has some amazing heavy cav but no where near the numbers of Rohan

Peter Jackson didnt give a shit. He thought horses riding down an almost vertical sloper into pikes or across a huge empty plain would look better than an infantry charge or cavalry vs cavalry clash.
>>70262490
In Lord of the Rings when Aragron charged forth and the ghost army appeared behind him.
Ghosts aren't real.
>>70262544
Yes, the wizard and the orcs were slightly unrealistic.
Too bad war epics are dead

It was pretty bad in some places (like the end scene where gandalf and frodo leave, you can practically see the green screen), but then again the trilogy is pretty ancient by now so I don't have a point of reference from that time.
That's the only time I remember being put off by the CGI though.
>>70262760
>>70264967
Did you miss the part where they were charging down a fucking ridiculous 45 degree slope?
>>70262667
The only good cgi was smeagol which frankly still blows my mind how well he still looks today
>>70265474
Waterloo was fucking amazing.
slav infantry division > cgi
>>70265504

>>70265474
