it's 2017 mate, there's kids posting on here that weren't even born then, nevermind seeing it first time around.

I was a bit of a fag when this came out and couldn't sit still to watch Fellowship. I did watch it at home some time later and loved it so I went to the theaters with my mom for the second. I got one of my friends into LotR so by the time RotK came out we took him to see it as well. Asshole would not shut up. Man those were the days. Fucking loved the video games too. Used to play RotK with my mom and uncle doing co-op

Saw Fellowship three times. Beautiful, moving experience. That final fight scene every time when Boromir gets hit with the first arrow and there's a sudden silence you could hear a pin drop every time, even in a packed house. Best character - Gandalf.

>>86229848

I did, well maybe not the second one, I think I watched a leak. The first and third I definitely did though, I am not a young fag.

>>86229848
Saw all three on release in theaters. Was 10 or so when the first one came out, didn't know anything about it going in except orcs were bad guys.
I was blown away. Star Wars has nothing on LOTR. We'll never see its like again.

>>86229848
Doesn't matter. Get your best mates together, buy a bunch of stout ales, and sit down in front of a big TV screen. It'll feel like the first time no matter how many times you've watched it.

>Just watched these for the first time at 25 years old
>It was fucking amazing

Didn't watch as a kid because my older brother got butt hurt they made more money and garnered more acclaim than Star Wars, so he poisoned them for me.

I love them all but I felt Return was the best. So many good moments I can't even choose one. Fuck all plebs who don't like Return of the Kings epilogue. Some of the best kino in this franchise.

>>86230020
That's a quarter of a life. Why the fuck has no one else been able to make something that similar in that amount of time?

>>86229947
>Who was your favorite character in LOTR?
When I was a child, Legolas.

Nowadays, King Theoden.

>>86231222
>I love them all but I felt Return was the best.
>not Fellowship
maybe when you go back for a future review you'll see that Fellowship is superior

>>86231333
Nice trips. I'm not him, but while Fellowship may be the most cohesive, solid film of the three (if you really, REALLY want to count the three films separately, which is stupid because it's one movie in three parts), ROTK definitely hits the highest emotional peaks out of the three films. Which makes sense, of course, given that it's the climax of the story.

But no matter which of the three movies you love the most, any of them is the correct answer.

>>86231333
I'm open to that. I'm totally fresh to LOTR in general so I haven't had time to really dig into them. I think ROTK is more viscerally appealing upon first viewing but I'd totally believe Fellowship is better upon subsequent viewings.

15 when fellowship came out, read the books about a month before, was so hyped and it lived up to it.

>fuck I am old

I remember watching them in theaters as a kid. Cried when the heads flew

>>86229848
I saw all three in theaters. And frankly, if you think they are not going to give these films the Star Wars treatment. You are fucking retarded.

Weird is, I distinctly remember watching two towers in the cinema , but not FOTR or ROTK...

>>86229848
saw all of them the day they came out on theatre.

Man I still remember seeing the 1st one. I was blown away. I saw it again the day after.

Did anyone else hate how prominent Liv Tyler was in the marketing and top billing despite how little she contributed to the plot, action, and screen time after her big introduction that shoved out some random somebody elf in the books?

>>86232232
she was huge when the films came out desu

>>86232232
I was relieved that the ol horseface didn't get as much time as marketing suggested. gotta get that female romance demographic

the one thing I can say about the two towers is that it was the most immersive film out of the three by nature of being in the middle. The fellowship introduces you to the world, its less immersive and more of a "wow this is so different" feeling, like youre entering a new world but its still new so youre just getting used to the setting. ROTK is the climax finale, less about just exploring the world and more about bringing a conclusion to everything and serving as a send-off for your journey back to the real world.
But two towers is where everything settles and you really just become completely immersed in the world. Its no longer new and shiny, but you still wanna explore all the nooks and crannies and thats what the two towers does. We get to see how the orcs and uruks live, their industry and lifestyle, their conversations and arguments with each other. What was in the first movie merely a faceless enemy is now a living, breathing society with personalities and purpose. You realize orcs are an entirely different race with their own backstory, and they have fear and anxiety and all the emotions our heroes feel. When the rohirrim ambush them, the humans are now the foreign shadowy figures and you see a battle from the perspective of the orcs. Thats how you build a world. Furthermore we're introduced to Fangorn Forest, the evil men of the east, we get a glimse mordor and the black gate, the men are introduced to frodo and sam as morally grey, deeply rooted in an almost WW1-like conflict that makes you question just who these "evil" men were and why they fight. You learn about Rohan, get a glimpse of their lifestyle and history, everything is so alive and in motion, a fully-fleshed out world that is the star of the show more than any one character. You start to realize that all you saw in the fellowship was just a taste of the huge, expansive, and varied world that tolkien built, then you get sam's speech to bring it home and remind you of the goal.

>>86232399
i know everyone says two is the worst because on 4chan liking action is considered plebby or something, but as a kid it was easily the most enjoyable of the three
helms deep was like nothing i'd ever seen

>>86231815
Great taste. Here's mine:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zPPROZTrHH4
Possibly the greatest opening scene of any movie ever. The chorus section that breaks out when Gandalf falls is almost Biblical, it's like hearing an opera written in the Golden Age.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZgJYNveHOYU
For obvious reasons. It starts off sinister and tense, then becomes so heroic and hopeful. The way the scales and octaves build up as each beacon is lit is damn-near cathartic. You can literally feel the reuniting of the old kingdom of Arnor. Then that little callback to the Rohan theme as King Theoden decides to fight for Gondor; fucking perfect.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQzLFsaZ8Zw
It goes from the very lowest, saddest possible depths of despair to the highest peaks of hope and courage within 6 minutes.


Sorry for the commentary, I just think Howard Shore wrote one of the greatest symphonies of all time and it deserves recognition for why it's so good.

>>86232502

apologise to me

>>86232399
Don't forget that little part in Helm's Deep where it shows terrified young boys being suited up for war. As a kid, that scene scared me more than anything because it suddenly brought home just how real the world was. Before, it felt like Middle Earth was a distant fantasy-land, but then you see that and realize it may as well be our own.

Went and seen all 3 in the theatre with my dad and two brothers, was our favorite thing about the Christmas break. We would do a rewatch of the DVDs before we went each time. We Would talk excitedly about it the whole ride home, your right OP I'll prob never have that again.

>>86233414
i still remember waiting in the line with my family for the 3rd film, and the hype was so insane by that point that the line was going out the theater, through the entire shopping center and into the parking lot. Practically every single screen was showing the same movie, and the line had hundreds upon hundreds of people, like a comic-con or some shit. Ive never seen such a ridiculously huge cultural phenomenon in my entire life. It was like being at a sporting event more than a movie. Costumes, kids running around, people of all ages and cliques. It was surreal.

The absolute standing ovation of cheers when Sam said, "I cant carry it for you, but I can carry you!" People were sobbing and cheering at the same time.

Nice trips. Fellowship is my favorite simply because it appeals to me the most. It feels most like the books, slow and cozy at times and thrilling and ferocious at others. The whole thing is drenched in nostalgia; it's unmistakably a product of the late 90s/early 00s but it almost totally avoids feeling dated. Truly one of my favorite movies, I can't count how many times I've watched it.

>>86230347
Not a film, but netflix is making a series based on the witcher franchise, there are little to no non whites in the books.

>>86233742
>The absolute standing ovation of cheers when Sam said, "I cant carry it for you, but I can carry you!" People were sobbing and cheering at the same time.

I'll admit, I was one of those people. I also remember people earnestly cheering and clapping when Gandalf whacked Denethor and took control of the city's defence. It was incredible, you could feel an entire room of anxiety lift when people saw Gondor was finally going to fight back with passion.

>>86234055
im not american so people do not clap and cheer in the cinema AT ALL

the one exception to this i've witnessed was when aragorn chopped off lurtz's head and lots of people clapped and cheered

>>86234055

>>86234111
Protip: "Americlap" is just a meme. You might only see that shit in really low-IQ parts of the South or Midwest. Nobody actually claps when a movie ends. That's why us talking about people clapping and cheering during LOTR is such a big deal to us, because it was a completely unique experience.

Get the hell out of this comfy LotR thread with your malcontent, your hate-mongering.

I mean to quote both of you's, but the effect is the same. You're trying to divide us by pointing out our differences and trying to cause bickering. Did you learn nothing? We have to reunite the scattered kingdoms of Men if we want to stand against evil. Gondor, Arnor and Rohan, together!

>>86234418
I rewatched the trilogy last week and you can really see how brave sam really is. Anytime frodo is in danger and sam is near, he is the first to jump into the fray and fight. At the prancing pony he threatens aragorn, at amon sul he tries to fight a fucking ring wraith for his friend, in moria he fights orcs with a godamned frying pan, he saves him from shelob, makes his way to cirith ungol alone, wrecks the remaining orcs and carries him up a mountain. When he had the ring it should have shown him miles of lusty hobbit bitches ready to pleasure him instead of a mordor covered in flowers.

>>86235856
I disagree. Middle Earth is as much of a character as any of the Men, Elves, or Hobbits are, and I love the way Tolkien describes how it breathes and lives. A lot of people get hung up on this because they're used to the environment being merely a backdrop to give a frame of reference, and not a critical piece in the story.

I feel like I'm always missing something in these threads. I saw every single one of these movies at the advanced showing the night before or midnight and other than war scene in The Two Towers nothing and no one was too hype. I think the most excited people got was for The Matrix Reloaded trailer or something like that. I take it most of you were younger than 14 or something?

Considering the amount of money these movies made, a lot of it from enthusiastic repeat viewings, I'm going to speculate your experience was atypical. It happens. Sometimes you just get a bad audience.

Cause he...read it?

I saw all three in cinema, am 22. Was in Ireland not a nigger in sight in the cinema just like in the film. Felt good man.

There are a couple of fan edits that cut the three into one 4 hour film.
It's the best we've got unless they redo them but then I'd be worried about them redoing LoTR too.

>was 20 years old when I saw Fellowship in theatre
>remember seeing hype footage over a year before it was released

why am I still posting here

It's not a series that requires that. The first time you see it and the last time you see it, the quality is identical and so is enjoyment.
I mean, you read the books, right? You knew what was happening? Even if you didn't, there are no twists.

Other films might need it, but the best films can do repeated views.

Don't include me in the screencap, bitch. I am actually shocked at this. What the fucking shit? I am literally mad. I was almost prevented from seeing this films and actually being a bit scared with Fellowship. 16 fucking years.

I remember seeing the premiers on the news with all people dressed in armour and shit, take me back.

>>86233826
Good call bro, what do you think of the extended cut?

>>86230020
I remember seeing the trailer and thinking it looked like a much better Dungeons & Dragons film than the one last year. I didn't know what LotR was at the time.

Anyone know of any high definition rips of the extended version without the filter? I still love my blu ray EE collection, but I could do without the noticeable green and blue shades it has (mostly in the first though).
Blu ray quality or equivalent is a must though so I don't thin the normal DVD rips will cut it.

Fuck this thread makes me want to sit down and watch them.

What is the average age of this board? I saw them all in the cinema.
