That tank swinging part was pretty cool. Thanks for the links!

It's not really my genre, but it's Ang Lee, and with a score by Mychael Danna I think. So I might actually go see it. :|

I might, for the actor.

How do you spell fake

HULK.

M-O-O-N spells fake hulk.

The tag line should be

You Will Believe its CGI. :lsvader:

:roll: Don't tell me that Superman's flying looks any more real than Spiderman's.

Not only does Superman's flying look more real than Spider-Man's swinging, I think Superman's flying effects looked better than the flying shot I saw of Neo from The Matrix commercial.

Some of the Superman flying is really obviously fake... :)

You do not like CGI even outside SW.....

Superman looked fake even in 1978, Sorry (and i'm not saying that Spiderman looked better :) )

And you can't Luke,

Morn, Spiderman looked like a CGI cartoon. There was too much speed and no depth.

Superman may have looked like a man in front of a blue screen, but at least when you looked at Superman you knew it was Chris Reeve, you never believed Spiderman was Tobey.

And not all the Superman flying effects look fake because many of them are not.

Plus Superman was one of the most beautifully shot films, while Spiderman, Matrix, AOTC had just average cinematography.

Nah, he looks far more real than a cartoon.

He may look more real than a cartoon, but he couldn't pass for human, or even super human.

I suggest viewing Superman - The Movie again. There are so many shots in that film with perfect flying and landings, that it really works. You believe it, because it's really Christopher Reeve doing all this stuff.

And here's a shocker for you Luke, I don't hate CGI. I hate the over reliance on it. I hate how every movie now has shots of these huge armies. Is that supposed to impress me still? Am I supposed to be amazed still? What about a good solid story? CGI is a tool, nothing more. Many filmmakers seem to be abusing this tool, attempting to dazzle audiences with eye candy, tricking us into thinking a movie is good because it made us say wow 237 times.

If we must have another comic book movie

somebody do the Fantastic Four with Dr. Doom and maybe the Silver Surfer.

and if we must have another superhero movie

someone please make the Six Million Dollar Man into a movie, call it the Six Billion Dollar Man, or the Bionic Man,

But the Hulk has never been a big hit with me

Well in the Hulk, it just the hulk and few more things, not great armies or cities or etc out there....

Let's forget this, if you dont mind... we are quoting ourselves again beerchug

(and anyway, Lucas always has used alot of Special effects, 20 years ago they were optical and now they are digital. )

How on Earth are you going to create a 15 feet tall green creature of enormous scope without using 100% CGI?

Yeah, and who cares if it's not "perfect" looking... it might be a fun movie to watch anyway. Besides, I didn't find the comic book drawings that realistic either if you want to get picky with your winky in a twist.

that has to be the weakest argument for cgi I have ever heard.

wimpy, wimpy, wimpy.

Guess all those years before digital animation(cartoon) we never had a fantasy film with creatures that never existed before.

He passes for a human with a mask on, a real human with a mask on would look just as real.

Yeah, yet there are also shots that look horribly fake. They really couldn't get superman to fly past the camera very well. And..... I don't see how it being an actor or CGI model makes any difference, both are playing the same fake game.

Yeah, and who cares if it's not "perfect" looking...

The old methods usually don't look any better than CGI does....

Sure you did, but a creature of that size would either have bad blue screening or if stop motion it would move with jerky motions.
