Wasn't The Giants Badly Designed?!

Even when I first saw them when I was younger they looked tacky! CGI would replace them if it was done today. What did you members think?

Yes they wasn't. They reminded me of one of the rubber-suited antagonists from a Godzilla movie. Then again, CGI didn't really improve Godzilla.

They couldn't even give 'the giants' a better name besides 'the giants' *rolls eyes*. And, another thing, I remarked to my sis that their mouths look like vaginas - so that right there just makes me not fear them.

CGI is overused and overrated. The end.

I'm not psycho, just a little loopy.

I thought the Giants were badass? Even to this day?

We will be cruel to the Germans, and through our cruelty, they will know who we are.

Slow but YOU KNOW they would hella kill you with one punch (err pinch? I wasn't sure what they did exactly haha).. I did think they looked scary!

What the...?!

The giants were WELL designed...Not bad at all IMHO,i mean...They looked like a beetle/humanoid hybrid,surely some of the best creatures ever appeared in the two movies (i don't count the horrid third flick as a proper "Neverending Story" movie :P)...They were badass and kicked a lot of ass in the movie,even if they were hollow and slow.

The giants and the acid lake are pretty much the only good things about this movie. The original is much better (and the book's even more amazing).
