Has anyone seen the CGI Dragon Smaug for part 2 of the hobbit?

Terrible CGI... Like a real bad art direction being taken on the creature effects... Calling for this person to be sacked immediately and repair this franchise.

It's written in stone... Fundamentally flawed on a visual effects level.

Coming to think of it any camera that you use where you have to change the colur of everything so it looks normal when filmed is a bad direction to undertake...

This is a real mess with a significant price tag to go with it.

Really hard to say from a shadowy ten second glimpse, don't you think?

Colors of objects, costumes and people have been altered to photograph a certain way since the golden age of Hollywood. Nothing new about that.
