  1. Realistic? Bah! by 1qaz2wsx · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I am sorry, but computer graphics do not make realistic images... Most of the graphics in AOTC were not realistic... The thing is, when a story is good and the images do not get in the way, you can suspend disbelief and not notice, regardless of how the effects were created. The problem is, that now you make good computer generated graphics, but they still stink, because the story is terrible.... Personally, that is why I liked LOTR, but hated AOTC. Graphics should not replace a quality story.
