The overuse of CGI in The Hobbit Trilogy significantly hurt its immersive quality, especially when compared to The Lord of the Rings. Orcs like Azog were fully rendered in CGI, making them appear plastic and detached from the world around them. The lack of texture and physicality undermined their menace and made them less memorable than the practical orcs in the earlier trilogy. Practical effects, combined with selective CGI, would have made the characters more lifelike.
