  1. No, it's given to the Best Visual Effects. Period. Why did Inception win against Alice In Wonderland and IM2 which are more CGI-heavy then? Stop making excuses. It's not a Best CGI awards and Inception is the living proof. If TDKR did not get an nom, that's not the reason. The real reason is that TDKR's Visual Effects were nothing remarkable compared to the other contender this year. No wowing effects like Paris being bent in two or JGL fighting in spinning hotel corridors.

    By the way, there's plenty of CGI all over the movie:

    The plane heist.(Wings getting clipped out is full CGI, Composite sky and green screen in the fake plane set interior shots).

    Batpod. (The Batpod jumping up the ramp is full CG. Everytime the Batpod made it's 180° wheels spinning, it's full CGI including Batman and Catwoman riding it who are also CG doubles)

    Say Hi to FULL CGI rides:

    The Stadium scene. Crowding the stadium with CGI football fans. The big hole tearing the football ground open and dramatizing the on-set explosions with CGI touch ups.

    Gotham bridges exploding and the collapsing results with CG fighters flying above. The aerial shot with massive explosions throughout the city. All of Gotham cityscapes with digitally removed parts past the Queensboro Bridge. Cast digital snow wherever the shots needed (when fake snow on actual plate is not enough) to emphasize the fact the movie took place in cold winter since it was shot in summer.

    The Bat. Rigs removal when the practical Bat is hovering down the streets and Full CGI Bat during all the flying scenes at night, dodging CG missiles and slaloming between buildings in broad daylight are full CG. CG buildings to cast realistic Bat reflections.

    Queensboro Bridge explosion with the road collapsing where JGL stands in front of the army.

    Nuclear explosion.

    (I might forget some of them. There's obviously more to it but they're less noticeable)

    All rendered in native Imax resolution. That's a whole lotta work for a CGI light movie...

    Sorry I don't think I was clear. I meant usually its given to movies with heavier use of cgi. Inception had more than TDKR. If you look at past winners its evident the route the academy takes.

    Also when you have the Hulk and Gollum rendered so well, do you think the academy cares for a batwing flying around?

    Again you and bkb just trying to imply with your posts that its a shit movie because it didn't get nominated. Its getting tiresome now. You don't like the movie mate than fair enough. Its a threequel, they usually split some audiences.

  2. Best Visual Effects

    THE AVENGERS, Janek Sirrs, Jeff White, Guy Williams and Dan Sudick

    THE HOBBIT: AN UNEXPECTED JOURNEY, Joe Letteri, Eric Saindon, David Clayton and R. Christopher White

    LIFE OF PI, Bill Westenhofer, Guillaume Rocheron, Erik-Jan De Boer and Donald R. Elliott

    PROMETHEUS, Richard Stammers, Trevor Wood, Charley Henley and Martin Hill

    SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN, Cedric Nicolas-Troyan, Philip Brennan, Neil Corbould and Michael Dawson

    The fact that TDKR isn't even nominated and The AVENGERS is makes this thread seem even more significant.. :rofl:

    :wtf: are you on dude. Visual effects doesnt mean a movie was better. Hence why snow white is there.

  3. Yh visual effects is given to films with heavier use of CGi. TDKR had barely any compared to movies like Avengers and the hobbit. Hope hobbit wins it. You can see that weta really went all out. Avengers and Prometheus would be second to it.I heard the tiger in life of pi was all cgi. If true it looks amazing!

  4. TED- had its funny moments but felt no connection to the characters or the story.The Hunger Games- i liked that they had actors in this movie that could actually act unlike movies like twilight! but i think the story was weak. Nothing really groundbreaking or anything. Could tell it was trying to be the next twilight. It was overall ok movie but as Jessie said...$400m?!

  5. It was not really plot holes.It more like plot devices that really did not serve a purpose...

    i agree they are not plot holes. But they did serve a purpose. Every plot device has been explained numerous times; its reason and consequence. If it wasnt, well its not that hard to piece it altogether.Just a few people going on and on about this. They just not satisfied with the answers because they dont care. Simple as that.
  6. out of the hundreds of members on this site, its always the same 2-3 people continuosly hating on this movie in this forum. They are just trying to convice themselves that this movie was a dud when it sure as hell wasn't.Amazing to see how TDKR haters always ranting on and on about nolanites etc and yet any person that defends this movie or answers their petty arguments on supposed 'plot holes' that a kindergarten kid could figure out, they get bashed.Phil the hobbit, i agree with everything in your posts. You have defended this movie with logic and sound reasoning. you have my respect dude:)

  7. In order:

    Reed Richards

    Dr Doom

    Bruce Banner

    Hank Pym

    Tony Stark

    Hank McCoy

    Amadeus Cho

    Valeria Richards probbaly has them all beat or will do when she grows up.

    they are all as smart as eachother tbh but they have their strengths. One may be able to figure something out before the other does not mean they are smarter. The Mighty Avengers broke into the FF headquarters to retrieve something of Pym's Reed had but wouldn't give it back. When Pym confronted Reed he was in a room that whenever Pym would move forward Reed and the desk he was sitting at would move back at the same rate meaning Pym can never cross the room and grab the device. Pym realized sound can travel across the room no problem so he pulled out a sonic whip to grab the device. Reed thought he had the perfect set up but Pym was able to deduce a flaw.

  8. think some people here need to learn the difference between 'plot holes' and 'plot devices'. Pretty much everything about this conversation for TDKR becomes redundant once you know the difference.

  9. It's kinda hard to hate on Avengers, despite its flaws.

    i feel the same way about both the movies. I enjoyed TDKR more but Avengers has set the bar high for ensemble movies from now on.I dont really see the need to nitpick things from good movies. Just enjoy them for what they are. People will always come up with plot holes and incoherent plot devices. What one person can't comprehend another person makes sense of it.I enjoy the debate between these two movies but sometimes it just goes on and on.

    i just dont understand that Japan gross. How could it flop like that over there.
  11. You can't ban BKB.

    He was the only one that was that perdicted TA and TDKR acurately, lol!

    About TA vs TDKR opinions.

    TA...Mostly you here its a blast! or some people say the story was not that great.

    With TDKR, you hear some say it was amazing but everyone I know says it was big step down from TDK.

    TDK bar was really really high...so a step down isnt too bad for a film considering ;)
  12. Its simple..TA was more liked by the overall audienceTDKR was more liked by older audiences.

    im from u.k and over here people were more hyped and impressed by TDKR than Avengers (from what i saw anyway). Im talking about my colleagues, friends, family even random individuals talking about it on the train. Perhaps it was different in the U.S. Maybe thats why we can't all agree
  13. 500M wasn't going to happen, shooting or no shooting and if it were going to happen, it would've done it anyway if the movie really was THAT good and the fact of it is, is that it stalled at 448M Domestic and couldn't even muster up enough to cross 450M, so this nonsense about 500M Domestic is exactly that: Nonsense.. Bottom line is that this past summer just wasn't the summer of WB and Nolan like it was in 2008.. It belonged to MARVEL and deep down, even Nolan probably knew it deserved it..

    And I'm still amazed at how this thread is the only thread this forum has going for it and the only thread anyone has responded to over any other thread in this forum..

    its the only thread you would look out for anyway mate. Anything TDKR related you can't resist to comment on.

    500mill is logical estimate. Anything higher is pushing it abit. Pretty much everyone knows shooting affected it. Best not to go on about it as its an argument with no definitive answer. Just because you say it wouldnt make it doesnt mean everyone does.

    Dont talk about Nolan as if you know him lol. Im pretty sure he isnt too interested in having the highest grossing movie. If he was he would have agreed to have TDKR filmed/converted in 3D. There are only a few directors in hollywood who are known to stick to their guns. He is one of them.

  14. Fishnets gives it a C+?? I'll take it!I understand your arguments but I disagree with you on most of them. Thought Thorin really stayed with me as a character. Yes he is very broody, but his character demands someone who has gone through pain and loss. I think most would agree that Thorin was one of the highlights of the movie. I agree that half the dwarfs have no stand out moments in the movie. Also I only picked up half of their names. The rest are a blur. I hoped that is fixed in the next movie. Its my only gripe in the movie.The hobbit book is just really short and not much really goes on in it when compared to lotr. It needed the appendices to really add some flavour and make the tale grander. Perhaps when the 3 movies are seen back to back they will flow better for the naysayers? We can hope.Oh I'm glad you liked the 48fps. I will be going sometimes in the next couple of weeks to check it out. Quite excited to see what all the fuss is about.
