Author Topic: X-Men Orgins: Wolverine 2009 Lyle Romer Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1400 From: Davie, FL, USA Registered: May 2002 posted 05-07-2009 01:24 PM                     This was a solid comic book genre movie. It wasn't the best thing ever made but it was entertaining and humorous and well-acted for the most part. It also moved along well and didn't take itself too seriously. The only negative was that some of the CGI effects and matte paintings (I assume they were digital mattes) were pretty fake looking. Some almost had a 300 like look to them but that was supposed to look like an on screen comic book. Overall, 3.5 out of 5  |  IP: Logged Justin Gorka Expert Film Handler Posts: 174 From: High Wycombe, England Registered: Apr 2006 posted 05-10-2009 05:36 PM                     Did they run out of money for the CGI? Look at his "claws" in the mirror when he escapes for the first time! (Crap story line as well) 1/5  |  IP: Logged Julio Roberto Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 938 From: Madrid, Madrid, Spain Registered: Oct 2008 posted 05-10-2009 06:23 PM                    Considering the leaked workprint that I saw, they probably run out of time for the CGI rather than out of money. These movies are so "underbid" time wise not even 24h shifts at post houses is able to churn out top results in the time allotted. Wouldn't be surpirsed if it was leaked by a disgrunted (overworked, not properly compensated) employee pissed with having to put in 28h days (SIC) for regular pay. I hear it's very common in the EFX and CGI animation industries nowadays. Haven't seen the final movie, so I can't properly comment on it.  |  IP: Logged
