This is the first footage I've seen of The Avengers – is all of its CG this bad?

I don't know if I'd call that bad cg, but I feel that scene must have been a nightmare for the animators and visual effects artists to put together.

 

[-COOLIO-]

Yeah, it's fine but I don't think it's on the level of say, Iron Man.

i dont think iron man is 100% cg in all fairness though

 

[mclaren777]

if you call that awful cgi what would you call the ang lee hulk?

I've never watched a movie with the Hulk in it.

Shots fired at CG, paging Xia ..

I'd say 90%. Sometimes they have Downey wear that prop half-suit.

Say what now?

Iron Man looks completely realistic, I don't get the feeling that I'm watching CGI when I look at him - I do get it while watching the Hulk.

I'm not saying the Hulk is bad, it's great and it's the best it's ever been but I still think we have a ways to go before he just completely blends in.

Well, they had an extra movie to work on Iron Man. Also I imagine that it's easier to make something mechanical look realistic than something organic.

I'm sure that's got something to do with it, especially eyes/facial expressions.

And miss his meltdown if TDKR under performs?

Spiderman is still my wild card. I'm hoping it underperforms.

Underperforms? Why would you want that?

Not even possible.

Some people like to watch messageboards burn.

Animation is the key. Seeing something like the Hulk that's supposed to be organic and somewhat human and what will make or break it is definitely how it moves. It's one of the first things I noticed about TiH Hulk and how it animates pretty poorly.

 

[Tobor]

Underperforms? Why would you want that?

Because it looks bad.

 

[TheKaeptain]

The lighting on the physical characters (especially the woman) doesn't match the environment. I think it looks awful, especially for a movie with such a large budget.

I said this too and everyone ignored me.

 

[Clayton Bigsby]

There is a better chance at Avengers beating Avatars all time gross than TDKR under performing. Avengers, TDKR, and The Hobbit are about the biggest sure things this year.

You don't think that has more to do with the fact that Iron Man is something that is practically possible in terms of being "real," i.e.:

Whereas the Hulk is a giant green vaguely human monster? I didn't think the huge alien worms looked "realistic" either...

No, I think we'll get there eventually although more practical mechanical stuff definitely seems to be mastered now.

Because it looks bad.

The rest of The Amazing Spider-Man could be awesome, but I still still forever hate them for turning the menacing lizard into a goddamn goomba.

He looks like Louis Gossett Jr.'s alien from Enemy Mine there. That would be an improvement over whatever that damn thing is that we have right now. I'm sure the movie will be fine otherwise.

"Not Whedon!!"-Good Job Bob

I LOL'd

Evans/Hemsworth/Ruffalo have to be feeling pretty salty about it though.

I doubt it. Neither of them seems to have huge ego.

I'm not so sure about that one.

 

[Clayton Bigsby]

I'm not so sure about that one.

If you are doubting The Hobbit being a success because of the 48 FPS than you will be hilariously wrong. I think it looks like shit too, but so does 3D, people still gobble that shit up.

I'm a huge Tolkien/Jackson fan, but if The Hobbit looks anything like that second clip, I definitely won't be seeing it in theaters. Also, I'm not convinced that mainstream moviegoers like 3D as much as you claim.

You realize it will be in 24 fps too, right?

Are 2D showings confirmed to be 24fps?

 

[Clayton Bigsby]

They have mentioned this several times.

 

[mclaren777]

Yep, I just found this...

2D in 24 frames per second. 2D in 48 frames per second. 3D in 24 frames per second. 3D in 48 frames per second. IMAX 3D in 24 frames per second. IMAX 3D in 48 frames per second. These are the six different formats — that's right, six — Peter Jackson's first adaptation of The Hobbit will reportedly be available in when it arrives in cinemas worldwide December 14.

I read through all the posts so far, and I don't see Busty. Is he too busy celebrating?

 

[Dany]

6 different formats? Fucking christ.

Pre-Order your tickets so you can get the collectors edition.

I'd love to lick the salty tears of Nolan-fans if that were to happen.

 

[Dany]

Half the people are going to see a soap opera, the other half a post 2003 peter Jackson film.

Neither are good.

Grosses for 3D showings of Avengers say otherwise.

 

[Hawkian]

I'm not so sure about that one.

Is... there a better example? These gifs make me feel like I wouldn't loathe seeing it in 48fps as much as I thought.

That is hilarious.


24fps 2D master race reporting in.

 

[Phoenician_Viking]

BO threads usually blow up during Summer Blockbuster time, esp when there's a genuine 'blockbuster' in play (see: Avengers)

Or a bomba like John Carter.

He is correct. Bob has trolled every single thread that has the words Avengers in it. He even smack talked Uma Thurman on accident.

Man, I hope they're clearly marked. I'd hate to get stuck with 24fps.

Wow, I can see it in 48FPS 2D after all! Great news!
