why the fuck did they change the look in the EE? it looked fine in the theatrical, more brighter even. Hell in some of the trailers the scenes looked so different. The passage through the marshes scene has more color in the trailer but in the film its almost black and white

>>80377365
theatrical and extended
tho I thought the blue filter was only on the Blu-ray extended editions

>>80377423
whats wrong with either one of those? neither looks bad

>>80377401

The example you posted aren't theatrical vs extended, it's just a production shot vs the finished film. Just so we are clear on that at least.

>>80377320
No shit OP, LotR was capeshit before the era of capeshit. But people here grew up watching it so they can't sift through their nostalgia to realize how shit the movies were.

The first movie is still a gold standard to me in terms of pacing and cinematography. The second and third are just CGI shitfests that go on for way too long.

The problem is that in one, Saruman has white clothes, gray hair and human colored skin. In the other he is blueish green and looks like he has mild gangrene in the face.

Here's what happens when you just let a computer correct the color levels so that white is actually white.

Fellowship is the best film.
Boromir is the best character.

>>80377488
i prefer the way the TE looks, way more colorful and fits the theme of the film. Look at pic related, top is TE and bottom is EE. Top looks more natural and it should, given they took a lot of effort to shoot the film in real sets and locations.

> way more colorful and fits the theme of the film

The problem is that the entire film has the same blue-shift filter applied to it. There is no addition to the theme. It just makes thing look bad.

Saruman of many colors

just try and find the hue settings and adjust it to suit your taste

>>80377600
yea i know, i was just mentioning why they felt the need to change the color drastically since it already looks so pretty in the production pic

You'll never be white OP

>>80378166

Find what?

>>80377944
Maybe elves built it for Bilbo, they considered him a hero so I guess building him a hobbit sized apartament was how they showed him their gratitude

>>80378213

I think the idea is that the bronze light creates this sense of eternal dusk in rivendell. It symbolizes the ending of the elves and all that shit.

theres only 2 versions of the film. Or three, really. There's the theatrical edition, there's the extended edition, which had the blue filter on the blu ray, and there's the extended edition on dvd which did not have the blue filter and more or less looked like the theatrical edition visually

No, it's all production photos. But this is what you get when you jsut run the frames through color balancing tools in GIMP. Feel free to create a script that does that to every frame of the movie and you'll get something close to the production photos. Maybe.

It actually has a good story with dynamic characters. Everything bad everyone else has been saying in this thread about this movie are all just superficial bullshit that doesn't really say anything about any movie.

As for the colour filters, it's strange, on my EE Bluray rip the colour grading is definitely present but is far less noticeable than it is in the images I see around here.

After the first film I got the feeling we were in for a grown-up, character-driven experience that showed due reverence to the source material.

Then I saw Legolas shield-surfing down a flight of stairs while shooting orcs, and thought, "Guess not."

>>80378192
Underrated post.

>>80380255
if you wanted it to be more like the books i'd recommend watching some of the fanedits out there, particularly kerr's book cuts. He split every movie into two volumes like in the book, he even separated frodo and aragorn's plot in the second movie and edited each into its own like in the book. He cut out the shield surfing too, if that's what you're interested in.

autism, obviously. Though, I'd say the shield surfing is cool because of the kickass music.
