[Lathriel]

We all must remember that nobody ever tried making LOTR (except as animated) because of the amount of visual effects.

I like most of the visual effects.

I thought Shelob was EXTREMELY creepy because they made her so spidery. Even though I have watched ROTK over and over it still creeps me up and I still whisper "Look up," at the screen when Shelob is hovering above Frodo.

I like the Mumakil, and I always thought that they were slightly bigger than elephants.

Also I heard that while WETA was creating the army of the dead Pirates of the carribean came out in theatres. They discovered that what they were doing with the Army of the Dead was very close to what was done in pirates. Yet I think the end result is very neat and also very different. I like the fact that they seem to change being at once skeletal and at other times they look like their rotting flesh is still covering their bones.

However, I don't like Gothmog, he just seemed slightly unnessecary. I think they could have done without him or maybe made his deformations a little less extreme.
