    Yeah

    It took watching the extended edition to get an explanation of why the orcs are different. There still are practical effect orcs, but the CGI orcs are not comparable, they don’t feel real the way the OG movies make them feel. The lead Uruk-hai for example felt real, but also huge and badass and threatening. Azog just felt flat and plain to me.

      Oh I hadn’t even thought of that, ‘cause yea he felt so much more off, especially with his pale skin contrasted against the night sky.
