: Alright, at first I was like, no way... won't work, I probably won't see it. But, yesterday as I was finishing up the 4th disc of supplemental extras off the Two Towers Extended Edition, and I started thinking...
: "Well, what if it looks completely real?"
: Cause, Gollem looks terrific, and I figure they would do even better by expanding whatver they have now. No more fake clay, no more crappy blue screen, this would be an honest to God, hundred foot pissed off monkey thrashing up the city.
: Also, this "massive" technology that they have is amazing. The crowd scenes could be very very good, and believable almost to the point of cruelty as these would be regular folks instead of orcs getting killed.
: What does anyone think? Like I say, I was put off at first, but now I have a some anticipation for it.
