BvS Shocker! The Academy discards Man Of Steel from Best Visual FX Oscar race!!!

[FeedOnATreeFrog]

Despite some uneven CG in the movie, this shot deserves an award of its own.

I could watch this all day.

 

[InJustice]

wow... they really thought MOS isn't good enough.

What does Superman Returns being nominated for vfx award have anything to do with MOS?

What does Superman Returns being nominated for vfx award have anything to do with MOS?

because the VFX in SR looks inferior compare to MOS.

 

[Mysteryman]

It probably has nothing to do with the quality of the effects .
It was a crowded category.
Something had to go.

 

[metaphysician]

because the VFX in SR looks inferior compare to MOS.

Superman Returns also came out seven years earlier. You might as well complain that Star Wars won the award, despite its effects being inferior to MoS.

Um... Is this serious?

All of these films, and I do mean all of them, actually featured cutting edge CGI when they were released. Spider-Man 1 & 2 showcase some imagery that you couldn't even think was possible back then, District 9 got the nod for mixing seamlessly visual and practical effects on a small production budget and Rise of The Planet Of The Apes feature some of the best use of performance capture even by today's standards.

Even in its best scenes (I'm thinking about those on Krypton) Man of Steel is nothing groundbreaking. They used preexisting techniques, sometimes properly, sometimes not.

Man please. first put something in HD, not in that terrible qualitiy. Did you see the movie in that quality? Then I can see why you saw that as fake. cause the second shot is clearly presenting that effect of the effect due to the speed.

You need to get your eyes checked. The entire 3rd act especially that hentai-tentacle fight was CGI. Yeah some parts the CGI was impressive but in some scenes it wasn't especially the scene where Zod grabs Supes cape and spins him round and round until he lets go. Those were CGI doubles and it was so obvious. I think MOS should have had an Oscar nod in the VFX department. But you shouldn't get all defensive when somebody criticizes the CGI.

I can't say the same with spiderman 1 that at the time it was released some shots weren't cutting edge actually even the final spidey showdown was clearly CGI and that counting Spiderman has a mask.

The final battle between Green Goblin and Spiderman was done practically. You need to get your eyes checked if you think this was all CGI.

In spiderman 2 some shots were clearly fake, even when spiderman was unmasked or when he was swinging before the end of the movie.

You really can't havea practical Spiderman swinging between skyscrappers. You have to use CGI, it's inevitable.

If MOS is not groundbreaking that is YOUR opinion. Cause some shots and visuals were state of the art as in Krypton, heat vision, Super punches (not even avengers with hulk or thor did it) and flying at superspeed and superspeed (as Faora vs military have you seen that great before).
The point is neither of those movies were perfect but had some great effects. Don't try to underplace MOS. cause its visuals were spectacular.

MOS wasn't ground-breaking. The stuff with shock-waves and super-punches we've seen before. Did you watch the final fight between Neo and Smith in the 3rd Matrix film? Ir heck did you watch Hancock? We've seen it all before buddy.

Um... Is this serious?

In terms of story, Jor-El putting on the battle suit is stupid, but I think the actual VFX, the technical tasks involved, are well done.

Man I was refering to the final scene when SPIDERMAN was web-swinging in New york and in Spidey 2 the last scene effect (WEB SWINGING) is clearly CGI.
The same thing can be used that no one moves as Superman as fast, flying as powerful and needs CGI and to add the fact that he doesn't wear a mask.

Please don't talk me about that movie. :/
I haven't seen that effect with so much quality, sorry for me that's why is Groundbreaking.. Also Neo did that with heat vision (don't tell me that Cyclops thing cause I've never seen the effect of that vision so great done, with red veins and that stuff) I can tell you that the superspeed aspect was never touched before with that quality as for example some shots from Superman and Faora, kryptonian tech, Krypton shots makes your argument feel so invalid.
Common Man, really, are you serious?

 

[TeeKay]

Yes I'm serious, nothing in MOS was really that groundbreaking in terms of VFX, we've seen it all before really. Apart from maybe that shot of Faora using superspeed to kill the soldiers. But the Krypton stuff felt like Pandara or even the planet in John Carter, heat vision? yeah you just used the Cyclops thing as an example. It's been there, done that. MOS felt like everything from sci films in the last decade or so meshed into one film. I have seen it all before.

You can't really have Spiderman swinging between buildings without CGI. Funny enough, those Spiderman films were nominated for VFX. And to make things even funnier, Spiderman 2 which you're criticizing so much won an Oscar for VFX yet MOS didn't even get nominated. I ain't gonna discuss with you because you're clearly biased.

 

[DA_Champion]

The red veins in superman's heat vision is not groundbreaking. The low budget tv shoe the vampire diaries does that to vampires when they are hungry.

 

[KRYPTON INC.]

OH joy. Teekay is here.

 

[snpklsdmbldr]

didn't know to be a nominee you need to be "groundbreaking" by looking at the other nominees nothing is "groundbreaking" in most of them, some of them are even a joke.

If I were in the Academy, I would appreciate a superhero VFX when they can seamlessly combine real actors to CGI without noticing the difference in your first watch unlike a masked superhero which is far easier to make.

Good for you. Yeah nothing from MOS worths it I get it. Krypton like Pandora or John Carter? [YT]v=9Q-slnIJo0U[/YT] I saw this type of technology on those movies And you're talking about biased people? I wonder why you only post to talk "&#$# about this movie.
Your hate is so notorious.

Please I recomend you to read better my posts because I didn't criticize Spidey 2. Even that movie which won an oscar had some issues that's what I'm saying. Even not BEING that much GROUNDBREAKING as you're claiming a movie needs to be spidey 2 won an oscar. But yeah because it's a marvel movie that doesn't matter . You're talking about biased people. Did you ever listen to yourself talking?
Yeah Iron man 3 was groundbreaking, Thor 2 was groundbreaking. the lone ranger was groundbreaking (THE BEST CHOICE FROM THE ACADEMY) you've made my day.
And to make your day more funny TASM made Spiderman swinging in some shots without using CGI. so you were saying?

 

[John-An]

Tell that to the marvelites. Good luck.

I've never knew that vampires had heat vision
I was refering in the cmb genre. also not with that kind of quality and combined with heat vision. I mean I've never seen smth like these in the big screen.

 

[John-An]

This is not groundbreaking

 

[Goshdarn Batman]

This is not groundbreaking

But he DID break the ground in Metropolis

 

[SilentWarriorZ]

This movie seems to be totally misjudged on many levels
they will surely regret this .

I don't know what your problem is dude, seriously.

How am I hating?

You missed the point. You criticized the SM films for having crappy CGI almost 10 years later, which isn't fair. In case yoy didn't read my post when I replied to you, I did say,"I think MOS should have had an Oscar nod in the VFX department."

Yeah Iron man 3 was groundbreaking, Thor 2 was groundbreaking. the lone ranger was groundbreaking (THE BEST CHOICE FROM THE ACADEMY) you've made my day.

Who said anything about those films being groundbreaking? Don't put words in my mouth dude.

And to make your day more funny TASM made Spiderman swinging in some shots without using CGI. so you were saying?

Learn to read what I wrote. I said swinging between skyscrappers and tall buildings is not achievable without CGI. TASM made him swing in low low ground like under the bridge. All of the other shots of Spidey swinging in high ground were done using CGI.

[TeeKay]

^^ Sorry for confusing you.

 

[NoLaNitE007]

Yep.
Didnt win though.

Oh yeah.

I forgot that SR was actually nominated for visual effects?

Holy crap....if MOS does not end up being nominated which it probably won't....than SR was actually a higher rated film (per the inconsistent RT) than MOS and was also nominated for visual effects while MOS was not?

More proof that Critics and Academy voters are all over the place and have serious credibility issues.

 

[slumcat]

if MOS does not end up being nominated

That is what this thread is about! They threw it out in the first round itself. It won't be nominated.

More proof that Critics and Academy voters are all over the place and have serious credibility issues.

Obviously. What do people who make cinema and study cinema for a living know about it? Fanboys know better.
