![]() I was talking with Sam about some parts of the setting we would have changed. What would you have changed if you were making the movies? Would you have more computer generated scenes or less? Would the movies only be filmed in New Zealand or many different places? Money is no object.

![]() Money is not an option? You mean there's no money to pay for it? Or do you mean money's no object?
Anyway I'd likely animate everything ![]()

I would use far less computer generated imagery. I always envisioned LOTR movie battle scenes more like the movie Braveheart. Highly realistic, even with trolls and orcs.
There are many things I did not like about the visuals. I didn't even like Lothlorien. Too dreamy and fake looking. It's the same reason I got tired of the batman series after awhile, just fake. Look at batman beggins, highly realistic therefore much better. I prefer a more practical approach. Those flets and tree houses should have looked far more realistic; realistic lighting everything. Just people living in the forest, people highly adopted to do so, with the usual elvin creative flare, but still believeable in everyday sense. Another example are those dragons in the movie ring of fire. Very realistic feel throughout that movie. Dragons in the waking world feeling that. Frankly, the fellowship of the rings was the only one of the three that I did not walk out of. I was incredibly disappointed with them.

The Fake armies were TOO huge....I agree with Telcontarion. Lothlorien really sucked...not beautiful, not tree worthy. The emphasis on the colored lighting (gold/Rivendell, blue-nightime/Lothlorien, green/Shire etc ) was way overdone.

![]() I would have changed the way they did the Ents. They made them look too much like walking Huorns or half asleep Ents. The book discribes Ents as having moss hair and beards, not branches and leaves!
