I hate unnatural film coloring with a passion. You may think I'm crazy but that ruined Lord of the Rings for me. LOTR was the first film that I remember going "those colors don't look natural." I know it's common to adjust the tint and color look of a film even before digital technology but LOTR was the first one that looked like it obviously was tampered with.

You're not crazy. LOTR has shots that are tampered with to extremely unnatural degrees. Especially Gandalf with his blue-hat/grey-hat and glowing face. But being a fantasy film and everything else in LOTR being so classy I could forgive it. But 'real world' films like 'Skyfall' are less forgiveable.

LMAO

^ The Caradhras pass sequence is one of the worst. Everything but the skin is de-saturated til it's almost a sickly b&w. But their faces still glow with colour and float out of the image.

I was expecting 10 years on in 'The Hobbit' they'd have got better but no, it's worse if anything.
