I just finished Lord of the rings two towers and watching return of the king next. So far rewatching these has made me miss the "real" aspect of it -minimal cgi, real sets, real places, real actors playing orcs. It makes the movie age much better when the fight against an orc is a a real person getting hit with a sword. Is this a lost form? Will we ever get a good fantasy film not filled with shit loads of cgi again ?
Watching it reminds me that there was a time when niggers weren't haphazardly shoved into every movie regardless of place and time period.

That's also true. The world feels real, the accents are mostly great and the cast was appropriately placed. There isn't a bunch of obvious "fill ins" for quota purposes

Um LOTR had tons of CGI. Granted it also had tons of practical sets/effects as well.
What you probably mean is most shots didn't fixate on CGI elements, other than Gollum.

I think he means cgi was only used when necessary (dragons, volcano explosion, etc).

This is what I meant. We don't need cgi horse riding and cgi orcs , so we didnt. We also didn't need cgi backdrops constantly (although obviously there was still some) - unlike the hobbit.

We're getting it with Game of Thrones only better. So it's not a lost art form.
Movies inside of Hollywood are dead tho. TV is the future.
