Lunatic Jedi Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 In terms of realism and technical quality, Gollum pwned because he was MoCapped. Character wise Yoda r0xx0rs Gollum because: Yoda = A calm collected Super-Jedi. Gollum = A headcase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkum Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 I thoguht Gollum looked more real, but then again, he moved a lot more than Yoda did, so I guess that's why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilbo Skywalker Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 I vote gollum because the cgi to me were not necessarily better, but put to better use, yoda looks realistic yes, but he doesnt interact with the other characters as much, and i think Weta own iILM when it comes to CG clothing. Gollums facial expressions were amazing, very emotive, you felt for him, i wasnt evoked by yoda as much. Gollum > Yoda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jedi_Monk Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 Gollum... The range of emotion they got out of that character just amazed me. The schizophrenic argument between Gollum and Smaegol had my mouth hanging open. Gollum really does deserve best supporting actor props! Also, think about his skin... it looks semi translucent, it looks real... Yoda's skin looked like Yoda's skin, yes, but that's hardly more difficult to capture than realistic human flesh. And I don't know what you're talking about his eyes... I thought they were verry expressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Talliusc Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 gollum is better, just because of the way he smacked that fish while singing "warm and wriggling it tastes so SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET" i loved that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy867 Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 Being a graphical person, I was having trouble decided, even after seeing both movies in theater 3 times each. (I just saw the two towers again today, for free) Actually, all 3 times have been free... but anyway, I voted Equal because both had too strong of points to go just one way without glancing to the other.

C Shutt Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 CG Yoda was awful, he looked better as a puppet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Ferretus Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 Yoda just looks like an animatronic puppet, with CG effects for JEDI MOVEMENT ETC. Gollum is full CG nearly and the acting around him, and his schizofrenia is ace! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OnlyOneCanoli Posted January 8, 2003 Share Posted January 8, 2003 Wow. Gollum beating Yoda on a Star Wars message board where Yoda wins just about every poll, no matter how silly his choice is? Wow. I went with Yoda on this one. To me, he just looked more real. Yes, Gollum pulled off some amazing scenes, but Yoda looked damn real, while Gollum seemed to lack just a bit. I think it was probably easier for ILM to make Yoda, as his movements had already been documented on screen. They had something very real to work with. But the people who created Gollum had only Tolkien and some concept to work with - a world of difference, I would say. I have to give them credit for that.

Boba Rhett Posted January 8, 2003 Share Posted January 8, 2003 They didn't have to make up gollum's movements though. They just let Andy Serkis have at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunClown Posted January 9, 2003 Share Posted January 9, 2003 Tough one. Pro: Just about anyone can do Yoda's voice. Con: But who can really say that Yoda has a really catchy phrase such as 'my precious', now that's catchy. *Says it while staring at his Lord of the Rings ticket.

Andy867 Posted January 9, 2003 Share Posted January 9, 2003 I agree. ILM already had a basis of how the character looked on the screen, and how ILM has many times more resources than what Peter Jackson's team did, and you are right, the "My precious" line is very catchy while staring at HIS 3 tickets, none of which I had to pay for, nor anyone else for that matter!

Lord Glorfindel Posted January 9, 2003 Share Posted January 9, 2003 Yoda Pros: They made him a CG character with attitude (First good CG character to do so) Yoda Cons: WHATS WITH THE STINKIN' TPM ROBOT, IT MADE HIM LOOK LIKE HE'S A PIECE OF RUBBER WITH EARS Gollum Pros: They made him a psycho CG freaq (first good psycho CG freaq), just like in the books Gollum Cons: He is just so freaqi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy867 Posted January 10, 2003 Share Posted January 10, 2003 Not everyone here is the Star Wars equivalent of a Trekkie. Some people actually enjoy OTHER movies just as much if not more than Star Wars. They are just stating their truth and reality of how Yoda and Gollum/Smeagol are compared for looking more real.

XERXES Posted January 10, 2003 Share Posted January 10, 2003 i dont think yoda and gollum can compare, their two entirely different characters. I think yoda and gandalf would be a better match-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think yoda and gandalf would be a better match-up. Dude you are missing the point. The point is what is the better CGI animated character. Obviously, Gandalf the grey AND the white isn't a CGI char (hence Ian Mckellan), so how can you compare the two?? lol.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
