YAY! They need to change (they used Sony Imageworks). They should go
with ILM, or even WETA (the company who did LotR). Now..I think they
should keep with Henson for the creatures and development, cause they
kick ass. They could even go with Henson, as they do a great job with
graphics...even see Farscape? Perhaps they don't do computer stuff
outside of their own productions.

Anyway...I think they need to find a different special effects company,
cause the movie wasn't up to snuff. That's probably the only part of the
movie that I didn't like. The graphics were fine, but they could've done
better. I agree that it's probably because of the production time. They
are pushing these movies out pretty fast. Though..I think they need to
take full time for GoF.
