The Special Effects of the Hobbit - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

The biggest danger IMO is that the special effects take center stage. It seems many special effects teams nowadays produce spectacular computer-animated scenes just because they can and not because the effects are nessesary for telling a story. I would hate it if Gandalf and company fights Sauron in Dol Guldur with Harry Potter-style magic.
