That's not all high fantasy then is it :^)

The Fellowship of the Ring was also passable.

Excalibur was pretty great, saw it for the first time about 2 weeks ago.

Substance. Most fantasy movies either get lost in a tar pit of worldbuilding or else are utterly empty and hollow exercises in genre tropes. No sense of mythology, theme, symbolism. Nothing greater is communicated in the storytelling.

bluh, I just imagined a dragonlance trilogy directed by Zack Snyder, goddamn you. goddamn you. I'd forgotten this shit existed. Even for the worst genre of fiction that ever existed this stuff was dreck.

I thought the Dungeons and Dragons movie was great. With lots of substance.

Conan isn't really high fantasy desu
