Personally I also find there's a bit too much color and clarity in some of the scenes we've seen, which makes it look unrealistic and staged (the forest fight scene in particular). I'm also not a big fan of the magic effects so far, which seem a bit too glaring and too inserted, not meshing well with the overall level of realism. Again, it's not that the CGI is done badly, but that the artistic decisions are perhaps a bit off, for me anyway.
I'll end up watching it like the obedient sheep I am, but I don't expect much. I'm a PC gamer, visual fidelity is not enough to wow me in 2016 (WoW, get it?).
