Lord of the Rings is severely overrated. I couldn't even make it halfway through the first one. Same with the Hobbit movies. It's all trash and anyone who likes this is shit is a manchild who is in the same League as fucking capeshit fans.

No.

No, it's not.
It's the greatest film trilogy of all time.

Even if every critic in the universe prostrates before it for 20 years, it would still be underrated.

joke's on you, only thing I repeat is years at school

You are upset that LotR, while the GOAT franchise, still has plenty of shortcomings, and you blame it for the fact that film has never been as good as it could have been, and is on a downward spiral.

No!

>>79068550
This is a response to the thread saying that liberals will never understand LOTR, isn't it?

I feel pity for those who legitimately didn't get LOTR
Watching the trilogy in the theatre was the best cinematic experience of my life. Doubt anything will top it

It's not, if anything it's underrated. No other movie has had so much heart and love poured into it, and it shows. It's a masterpiece. Call me a pleb if you want, but you know i'm right.

>>79069171
Yeah Sam got to marry the hottest hobbit in the shire, and merry and pippin are pretty much superstars. I really wish they had included the cleansing of the shire portion of the tale, it really shows how much they've all grown compared to the rest of the hobbits and it gives Saruman a much more satisfying end. I guess they didn't want the movie to be 5 hours long or do a 4th one

Actually LOTR is quite underrated. It should be as popular as Star Wars is right now and Star Wars should be as popular as Avatar

The theatrical release of Fellowship is just perfect. Two Towers and Return of a king is bogged down with to much shit.

Also edit out any scene where legolas is doing some stupid video gamey shit.

>>79070332

It wasn't, it would totally detract from the main conflict and victory in the south/east
Cutting out the Saruman death scene ontop of Orthanc was definitely a mistake though

>>79074315
People who are kids during the hobbit trilogy are HPfags anyway.

>>79071284
The movies, though beautiful and amazing in their own right, capture the spirit of the characters.
The books contain a lot more. The movies don't capture Gimli's soft side with things like Galadrials hair or Boromir's human aspects with his desire for the ring not for evil power but his city.

They're massively overrated. And it doesn't mean they aren't good.

But they decline in quality. Fellowship is the only amazing one. Elijah wood was meh as was the direction and focus and tone progression as it went on. It was still good but its not paced great nor is the editing or camera work amazing. Very solid. Extended editions are great. Liv tyler was bad. Mery and Pipjn become kind if annoying and legoas and gimli seemed to wreck everything

>>79074419
Kek no. The only reason Jackson was not in line to direct The Hobbit was because he was seeing New Line over contract disputes relating to LOTR films.

He was bought on when Del Toro fell out. He didn't refuse, he wasn't allowed.

>>79074419
At least he tried.

>>79074420

>>79074315
Right now I'm 1,5h in a fanedit of hobbit movies and it's pretty enjoyable. So far it's on bilbo and his journey, a heartfelt fairy tale that looks pretty. I don't even mind CGI, my biggest complaint was the confusing change of mood from grounded LOTR to over-the-top hobbit and here it's a sweet smooth ride (so far I'm on the end of the first movie and I hated it why i watched it the first time).

>>79074545
Personally, I'm not fond of it past season 2. It's okay at best after those first few seasons.
But the examples stands, as the masses love the shit out of the show.

>Frodo comes when Gandalf is smoking a pipe immersed in deep contemplation, meaning he had time to pack up tobacco in his pipe, light it up and begin to chill.

>>79075942
He was in no rush to find Bilbo, and as the birthday-boy's nephew he was probably busy doing shots and eating his weight in pastries. If he knew Bilbo was actually going to leave the Shire he probably would have rushed to look for him, but he had no way of knowing. He thought it was some kind of prank, Bilbo was always busting balls.

>>79075942
Probably because he didn't go straight home but wondered around to the party to look for him

You never noticed it until you saw a still shot of it posted online. They're in the deep background, out of focus, for a split second, while things are happening in the foreground.

My jimmies will never be unrustled about obnoxious usage of color filters in otherwise beautiful cinema.

In fact, all the hobbits. I can understand that there was probably some kind of message about companionship that I might not have gotten in there, but, honestly, after like the third of their boring conversations I was already being sucked out of an entertaining movie experience.

Nah.
I don't know - I didn't watch them until years after their release so it's possible I'm just taking it out of the context of the time, but overall no, I just found myself shifting uncomfortably in my seat. They're not thrilling characters IMO.

>>79068550

What woudl happen in Galadriel or Gandalf actually took the ring? Would they be able to use the ring as their own, or would they be taken over by Sauron eventually since the ring is basically an extension of him?

>>79069800

That shot works perfectly fine within the context of that scene. The focus is on the front of the frame where Aragorn and Boromir are, nobodies going to notice the background Hobbits in detail. Post something more relevant if you're going to make this ridiculous argument.

>>79068550
Do you know what pissed me off about this scene? Boromir did something that only Bilbo and Sam ever did: He willingly gave up the Ring.

>>79077353
Why would it piss you off? Boromir is one of the best characters, that only adds to that.

>>79077403
Because it's completely out of character and it undermines to power of the one ring for a cheap dramatic moment.

still was the best movie and most amazed by a movie id ever been at a theatre or anywhere. but yea i guess its overrated. faggot

>>79077497
He wasn't in possession of it for long, Bilbo and Sam had it for a while. The ring is harder to get rid of the longer you have it. Boromir only had it for a few seconds. At least thats how I saw it and never really had a problem with it.

>>79068582
I agree

>>79077353
He only held it for a minute. Giving the ring up and destroying it are different things, I don't think any character other than maybe Gandalf or one of the greater elves could have thrown it into the fire.

>>79078835
>I don't think any character other than maybe Gandalf or one of the greater elves could have thrown it into the fire.

THey would have been instantly corrupted, Gandalf won't even touch it. No way they could throw it in the fire willingly. If anything it corrupts more powerful people quicker.

>>79078891
>If anything it corrupts more powerful people quicker.
Galadriel's reaction seems to support that. I liked the feeling that Gandalf doesn't want to touch the ring directly in that scene, although he does pick it up with his hand in the same scene in the book.

>>79078891
The ring corrupts depending on the breadth of your desire.

A less lampshaded part in the movie, compared to the book, is that Boromir thought about taking the ring, while Faramir didn't, even if he had frodo entirely at his mercy in his own fortress.

Boromir wanted to restore Gondor, make it peacefull and grand again. He had large goals, so much more grip and possibilities to influence him

Faramir only wanted the affection of his father. That's a whole fucking less.

Also the reason that hobbits are generally less affecdted, living in idddylic Shire. Frodo wanted to keep living the good life with his friends, and Sam simply wanted a clean garden for himself.


It's a simple but cool moral

>>79074943
In the time frame it's based in the people who had the best training were also usually nobles and heirs. They had the money for that kind of shit.

>>79077149
Or it makes the audience question it before the the era of IMDb trivia. My dad and me always debated whether he was missing a finger or his hand grew fucky.

And even with the Extended Editions LotR is better.

>>79068550
Lotr is overrated as fucking hell I admit it and I love it. The board is full of spineless freaks.

All in all and with some very minor goofy stuff overlooked, the LotR trilogy is the best LotR trilogy this universe could ask for. It was made in the exact blink of an eye between movie CGI becoming good enough and the subsequent ruining of mainstream fantasy and scifi movies by identity politics. We can thank God we got Peter Jackson movies made in late 90s/early 00s and not fucking 2015 JJ Abrams.

>>79080081
>Lotr is overrated as fucking hell

It's overrated because of the large fanbase, yes, but mostly you're just being a contrarian here. Especially FotR is outstanding from top to bottom. So much more effort, craft, and care went into these movies than the standard.

>>79080245
>We can thank God we got Peter Jackson movies made in late 90s/early 00s and not fucking 2015 JJ Abrams.

>>79080367
FOTR is amazing but I feel like peters bad direction is evident in the others more so ROTK than TTT but TTT still suffers slightly.

In more ways than one it suffers a bit. Doesn't mean it isn't good. But a majority of /tv/ fellates them a little too much like they are thirteen.

>>79078500
Not him, but I never understood why Glorfindel didn't go. You've got another OP elf lord. Why not utilize him? The only argument I could think of is that it might attract too much attention, but then again, they're travelling with a wizard.

>>79080245
Yea but the cgi has aged badly save shelob and stuff and sadly this will be worse for 4K. Fellowship will be fine though. I wonder how Rivendell will hold up though its noticeable a little in Fellowship.

>>79078557
The witch King actually flees in terror upon seeing Gandalf, it's completely different

>>79080659
Just wait until Jackson gets to the point in his career when he starts to Spielberg and Lucas the LotR trilogy.

I really enjoyed them. In a perfect world all film adaptations of books would have this kind of quality. Sadly we usually get shit like The Hobbit.

Someone post the Hobbit webms I feel like having a laugh.

I disagree. I think it's properly rated. Tolkien set out to create a new cultural mythology for western peoples. Being from South Africa he knew how savage humans could be, and the beauty and value of the civilized folk. He put western civilization on the majestic pedestal it deserves. Jackson, by deciding to take on the responsibility of adapting Tolkien's works to film, also had a part in instilling this feeling in mankind. For that it could never be underrated.

>>79069800

Wait bottom middle, did Aragon and horn guy have a sex scene, I don't remember that.

>>79083855
Elves aren't just light. They fucking commune with the world. What he did was ask the snow not to impede him, and so it let him walk on top of it. Same thing with the stones/gravity.

The real mistake was to include any elf that wasn't the king in the first place. They were a detriment to the dwarf/hobbit story throughout.
