Why does it liquefy? Is it hot?

>>86902393

This movies don't exist, stop talking about them.

Also sage.

the chocolate on the inside melted. it's a dragon's cave, it's hot!

>>86902433
Yeah the Lannisters make a giant dwarf (mocking tyrion) out of their gold which dragons are attracted to.

kek
the dragons in GoT look way more realistic than Smaug

Plan opinion. Smaug resembles a traditional medieval wurm. The GoT dragons are wyverns.

Millions of cubic feet of gold only held in the mold for around 60 seconds, so the vast majority was still molten. Looks like dogshit though, The Hobbit series doesn't exist in my mind....

Not necessarily. I have never worked with molten gold obviously but when baking, something like this plausably could happen with chocolate.

>>86903180
its supposed to look cool

>>86902393
>those textures

did I wander into an Xavier: Renegade Angel thread? Or is this another tv show rendered on PS2?

The cruise control text laff OP is hide on sight for me now, what about you?

>>86902393
I realize that the dwarfs could probably have struck a deal with smaug and thus had protection, in return for beautiful golden artifacts that the dragon can call his.
Smaug was genuinely enchanted by the statue they had made. He is a patrician and likes patrician tastes. Probably why he got so pissed when it fell apart.

>>86902393

Wait, are you guys complaining that a fantasy movie wasn't like real life?

i dont get why the studio didnt give jackson at least one year of prep time. given how much money they made with lotr why wouldnt you make sure that the guy creates another cash cow

>>86902433
The CGI in this season has been en par with the best of the Hobbit easily. Not a fair comparison really and I'm not much of GoT fan.

Fuck the Hobbit.

Smaug in 3d was great tho.

>>86904220
We're complaining because it looks like a video game

Fuck outta here.

>>86904305

People wanted The Hobbit. What they got was The Lord of the Rings featuring characters from The Hobbit.

>>86903221
It would have looked even more like shit with him on charge. See the goblins, they look like Hellboy monsters. Good for Hellboy, not for Lotr.

>>86904489
The lotr trilogy cgi looks better than the Hobbit

>>86903108
Its hard to hate on Jackson because he admits that things went wrong and pretty much did 20 hours days during production.

He obviously wanted to jump in and save the project but he couldnt do the impossible this time which is where the studio should have jumped in and gave him the time needed

>>86904646
Yes, that is true. The biggest reason is that the Hobbit went full retard with the CGI.

>>86904998
No it was bad characters

This isn't even the worst part of it. I passed Five Armies on TV the other day and everything in the movie was glowing with cheap lens-flare effects. It's abhorrent.

>>86902393
The first Hobbit movie is still the best Middle Earth movie after Fellowship. You know, ignoring the amazing Helm's Deep battle in Two Towers.

>>86905438
That's my opinion too. People shit on the trilogy as a whole but it's not true. An Unexpected Journey is easily LotR tier, both as an adaptation and as a movie. Desolation is good too but has lots of mistakes/errors. Last one is totally unwatchable. What the fuck is wrong with the home release anyway, everything is over saturated and high contrasted? I swear it wasn't like that in the theatre.

>>86902393
i thought that scene was pretty cool desu

>>86905635
The first Hobbit is the best but is still pretty bad. Many similar moments have a different feel compared to fellowship. See the underground chasing of the goblins (let alone how the Goblins look like) in Khazad-dûm in the Fellowship, compared to the Goblin King part in Unexpected. In the second there is no tension or feeling, the Dwarves look like made of rubber and you never feel the same sense of danger.

>>86905635

Probably because it still had many guillermo touches, then jackson fucked it up completely with the other two.

>>86904998
Fucking lol.
No.

>>86903108
>shouldn't of
illiterate shitdick

>>86902393

The color is off - like most metals, when you get gold hot enough to melt, it glows - but the texture is pretty much right.

>>86903107
In his defense it was a hilarious response

>>86903461
I figured this obvious shit while i was playing some Dwarf Fortress and building the 9/11 tower so i could instigate a race-war between the elves and the goblins :^).
Smaug was reasonable but greedy for the cursed gold. I say let him keep that cursed shit and let the dwarves enjoy the artisan works that they made for their aesthetics.

I hated everything about the Hobbit but I honestly don't think this scene looks as bad as most of /tv/ thinks. oh well

>>86906452
I think 4 legs would have been more difficult for animators and mr. Cucumberman

>>86903150
Rushed production, studio wanted another big hit like LotR but didn't give Jackson the time he needed to do it properly.

>>86906736
It has no tension, but no fun either: it murders the pacing, and the lack of glow of the gold and the fact that the dwarves surf on it kill the immersion. Is bad from any standpoint.

>>86906847
What PS3 game is this?

>>86905798
the source material is different though, i would never try to liken The Hobbit to LotR in terms of tone. goblin chase made perfect sense in its context, it was fun and exciting in a childish way and the way dwarves escape using their environment as tools to devise traps and weapons against goblins actually showcased their ability as engineers and craftsmen as a race, so it was well thought-of.

>>86905843
probably because Jackson had more prep time for the first one and eventually entirely run out of any preperation for the later chunks of the movie.

also my main problem with the trilogy going shit eventually isn't entirely on script. cinematography, visual fx, soundtrack all turned to shit. it's not entirely jackson and his wives that fucked up, everybody just seemingly run out of time. even the colour grading is pretty terrible by the last movie.

>>86906828
yeah the scene is retarded and useless but I don't think the CGI looks jarring. sure, it should glow and all but the CGI effects don't look horrible to me. maybe the part where the gold warps around and falls onto the camera, idk.

Bitch post the 4k verison

>>86906894
>>86906847
these look terrible however. the molten gold really looks fine to me in comparison.

>>86906736

>>86906847

HAHAHAHAHAHAhahahahaahhahaaaaaaaaa

based on these webm's i can testify to say that ALL the cgi looks horrendous.

this, you're never gonna make molten anything look good with CGI or practical effects, its one of those things that are very unique and impossible to recreate

>>86906894
>>86906948
This isn't what the movie looks like

>>86906920
>the source material is different though
But in that case, he should not have tried to connect the to movies. What we have is a movie that try to be Lotr: the prequel but tries to be silly. And it fails.. except when he tries to be romantic.. and fails. And so on. Also in the source material the orcs are bad business, you never feel the same sense of danger.

>>86906992
what the fuck was the point of the spears then?
no wonder elves are going extinct on this shitty universe, only warhammer elf are not autistic.

>>86907044
I think you misread my post. I thought the molten gold looked ok in comparison to those.

>>86907044
>its one of those things that are very unique and impossible to recreate
well.. this would be one additional reason to do not add such pointless and ugly scene.

>>86902773

He didn't have to write shit if he just remade the book into a movie instead of adding in SJW stronk female elf and Orlando Bloom for no reason

All that CGI was so expensive thye could only have afford a wyvern

bureaucracy

>>86907054
Yes it is.

>>86903107

It's just cheekiness you moog, I don't see his disdain

>>86907080
I think the reasoning was to start as a children's story and progressively get dark with each movie, eventually becoming almost as dark as LotR with main dwarves' deaths, and I agree with that approach. It makes sense and it would create a nice bridge and continuation to the original trilogy while being a faithful adaptation to the book. So that was the intention, but the result was a failure. It's not that his approach was wrong, he just couldn't do it right.

>>86903108

You entitled fucking cunt

>>86907059
That part looks awesome, but when he prances around like a cartoon chasing the dwarves it looks so stupid.

Oh man...I had blocked this scene out of memory.

Except she wasnt there to be stronk. She was there to be part of a shitty lore breaking love triangle. The direct opposite of what Evangeline Lily signed up for.

I don't think I've ever been so hyped and so let down by another movie. When it was announced PJ was taking over The Hobbit movies I was expecting LotR 2.0. I reread the books, checked TheOneRing news everyday for any information, reserved seating at IMAX. What a fucking crushing disappointment. I don't think I'll ever truly be able to get that hyped for a movie again.

>>86903001
And yet it still came out like shit.
I think it's another case of someone doing a George Lucas. First time around, you were a nobody director who relied on lots of people to help you make your movie.

Once the money is in you've been showered in praise, you become untouchable and you surround yourself in yes men who just say "yeah that's a good idea".

We almost saw this in LOTR with Arwen going with the Elves to Helm's deep, but it got leaked online and Christopher Lee advised him to change.

I don't think one actually could properly put the hobbit to live action film and have it turn out okay
It's such a whimsical book that just feels like a quintessential folky legend, it would be so hard to get the right tone. The slightest bit too silly or too serious and it destroys what the whole feel of the book is supposed to be.
I think the big part missing is in the narration. Having that disembodied sort of huffy busybody type narrator explain the silly pointless little details about hobbits and what's important to them as well as the little Matter-of-factly quips interjected throughout is what makes the story work. Having Gandalf say 'incidentally the game of golf was invented at the same time' doesn't have the same effect as the person telling the story sound like they just threw it in as a little factoid. Like the closest thing I can think of a movie being able to do that is The Princess Bride.
LotR is an epic tale you can witness and experience as it happens, while The Hobbit is someone telling you a folk legend that happened before that they're embellishing and interjecting on.

>>86902393
that's actually pretty good CGI desu

>>86902736

Not that they're good movies.

>>86910515
It's patently obvious this isn't the same as Lucas. Regardless of whether Jackson is a hack now, it's a matter of fact that the production of the hobbit was a fucking mess from pre production to completion based on salient aspects completely removed from Jackson's direction.

>>86904228
I imagine its something like:

>we have put millions into this already that we can't get back if we stop
>if we delay it'll only cost us more
>years of effort for nothing

All that shit is the real deal when it comes down to it.
