No one fucking hates LotR! There might be some contrarian faggots that might say they do, but again just being contrarian. The Hobbit on the other hand is shit that they smeared and dragged on the floor. It should have been a single movie.

Fuck, what I meant is have there been any well-made edits which reduce the trilogy into one quality movie?
>>69847324
YYYHHEEEE
>>69847023
Because the story is completely destroyed by the eagles thing. There's no getting around it.
If you have any kind of rational thoughts in your head, that makes the movies unenjoyable
>>69847496
Edits like that are usually for films that are already good. Like the original start wars trilogy edits that cut George's garbage stuff and corrected colors, audio, etc while keeping in the right stuff. Imagine the original New Hope but with all the quality additions from the special edition.
You cant do with The Hobbit.

"By all that you hold dear, on this good Earth, I bid you stand, men of the west."
Would these movies be released today?
only thing i didn't like was the ghost soldiers that came in the last second.
>>69847023
The first one?
The combat was disappointing with the shaky camera. It's mostly just pretty scenery with dramatic fantasy music, the best part was the mines of Moria.
All of them were insanely drawn out.
>>69847052
I don't know, but if they do they're dead to me.

>*shoop*
The end
>>69847791
They should have given the ring to a brave eagle martyr and had it fly into the volcano.
Or maybe have Gandalf ride with it to provide a shield of light.
>>69847538
they would steal the fucking ring from frodo like LITERALLY EVERYONE ELSE IN MIDDLE EARTH WANTED TO DO YOU FUCKING MORON
I BET YOU FOUND GREEN EGGS AND HAM CHALLENGING TOO
M-MOMMY WHY DOESN'T HE JUST EAT BLUE EGGS, SAM BTFO
KILL YOURSELF
Does the extended edition of the last hobbit movie have an actual resolution? I distinctly remember that in the cinema version only Bilbo got an ending, while it's never resolved what happens to the Erebor, or Dale, Thorin is never buried, Dain never crowned, etc.
That was my biggest disappointment. It was an action movie with no plot whatsoever yet they still didn't get the endings right. Lotr had a 30 minute ending that made you cry over and over again
>>69847023
Contrary to you OP, I already was an adult when I first saw this. That's why I can say objectively, without nostalgia clouding my judgment, that this is a really average movie.
Nothing god tier about it at all.
Just average, maybe even below average.
I'd say a 4.5/10 movie.
A few problems
Elrond and Aragorn were either miscast or misdirected
Jackson ruined Elves and Dwarves. Elves aren't Vulcans and Dwarves aren't morons
No tom bombadil in EE
Overall they're three phenomenal movies
This scene was pure kino

My dad was almost 50 years old at the time the movies were released and he didn't give a crap about movies, and even he thought RotK was an amazing production. One of the few times, if not the only time i remember him say something about a movie like that
It triggers me when retards/plebs call Theodeon "Theoden King" as if that's his name..or some stupid shit.
It's like they don't fucking understand that he's just being referred to as Thedon COMMA KING <---TITLE.
>>69848132
>Aragorn
>miscast
>>69848242
It's not bait
>>69847920
Yeah Thorin's burial and Dain's coronation is all there.
> I am no man!
this is why LOTR is bad. its the start of SJW feminsit bullshit
>>69848132
>No Tom Bombadil
Even in an EE he would have taken up too much valuable time, and he would have broken the pacing completely.
>Elrond and Aragorn miscast
Yeah no.
>Elves aren't Vulcans and Dwarves aren't morons
He got the Elves pretty good, but the Dwarves are used way too much as comic relief.
>>69847023
No one hates lord of the rings
If they do then they're objectively wrong
>>69848358
>Even in an EE he would have taken up too much valuable time, and he would have broken the pacing completely.
Why are you arguing against more content in an extended edition?
Christopher Lee would have made a better Gandalf, more intimidating and powerful like in the book.
Ian McKellen is too soft and comical.
>>69848299
Nah not really. Eowyn later realizes her place and becomes a loyal housewife and healer.
Her short career as a soldier is just a phase brought on by her depression after being rejected by Aragorn. So she seeks a "glorious death" in battle.
> "I stand in Minas Anor, the Tower of the Sun; and behold! the Shadow has departed! I will be a Shieldmaiden no longer, nor vie with the great Riders, nor take joy only in the songs of slaying. I will be a healer, and love all things that grow and are not barren."
>>69847023
he wasnt acting in that scene
>>69848405
Because the movies were long enough as they were. What exactly would Bombadil bring to the table? Thirty minutes of nature santa cracking semi-cryptic jokes?
>>69847538
>b-but eagles bro! Epic plot hole xD
Idk why everyone bitches about this because the answer was simple
The Eagles would have stolen the ring, the ring corrupts almost all sentient things
Even Gandalf couldn't carry the ring
The reason Hobbits can carry the ring is because Hobbits are really simple and humble. Even then Frodo couldn't even destroy the ring, it basically got destroyed by accident.
Fucking idiots need to shut up about the eagle thing
>>69848485
Then who would have played Saruman?
>>69847483
Every goddamn time, at 4:12 when the music hits that crescendo and the light rays get bright, I cannot physically stop myself from getting a little choked up for some reason. I don't get what it is about that sequences that elicits such an emotional response. But I think it's the most epic moment in a fantasy movie I've seen.
>>69848511
>What exactly would Bombadil bring to the table?
A very good section of the book? There's a good reason people were mad at his absence, peter.
>>69848228
That's his last name you idiot. And it's spelled Kingh, like the Indian name Singh.

>>69848228
>not knowing that the title King is derived from a surname in a 20th century anti immigration propaganda trilogy
>>69848485
What's even more funny is that Christopher Lee personally knew Tolkien and Tolkien himself had promised Lee that he would play Gandalf if they ever made a movie based on his books
>>69848558
That moment is the greatest moment in all three movies
Every time I watch it, it just tugs at my heartstrings and makes me feel all weird and spiritual

>we will never get a cinematic adventure on par with LOTR again
Why even live?
>>69848931
This is exactly right.
>>69849179
For starters LotR knew when to quit. It wasn't a CU and was never meant to be. It wasnt milked (save for the hobbit) but fortunately it's ending with that. There are deep whispers of a Silmarillion film, but that'd be like making a movie of the bible.
>>69849083
I think I heard somewhere that the banner being ripped down by the wind wasn't planned, and that it just happened by chance.
>>69849226
>>69849179

>>69849279
Yes.

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>69849279
No, fuck off.
It's amazing how much the PC movement has corrupted modern cinema in just the past 15 years.
I fear that given another 15 years LOTR will be branded as 'regressive' and culturally opressive...
>Nine cis-white males? And not one of them is a villain? Oy vey!
>>69849515
There were loads of other worthy supporting actors, both in Two Towers and other films. It wasn't an easy call for the academy no matter how you look at it
>>69847023
I remember being triggered like never before when derick from mega64 said that he prefered hobbit to lotr. I thought it was impossible for a male to not love lotr. Lotr is one of those things that you are grateful to be alive if only for experiencing it.
>>69847756
Isn't that Warcraft's premise?
>>69849665
Yes. You see the problem. Autistic 15 year old WoW addicts who were still sucking at the breast when LotR came out are calling Warcraft the next LotR.
I weep for the future.
>>69849279
The entire normal race of people is called Men. That alone would be enough to get it banned throughout Europe and SJWs would be rioting in the streets and making death threats to Jackson
>>69849399
>I would have followed you my brother...my captain...my king...
I could watch this scene a thousand times and it would never get any less emotional for me. This scene coupled with the scene where Boromir is talking about riding into Gondor with Aragorn at his side is fucking heart breaking.
>>69849632
What about Saruman?
>>69849892
If you havent seen the extended edition of RotK, I highly recommend watching this scene adding backstory to Boromir and his family: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nwj9JmreP7k
>>69848228
Like the utter basics who refer to Dany in GoT as "Khaleesi", like that's her given name. Fuck, morons have even named children Khaleesi, I despair.
>>69849954
I loved discovering the extended editions recently and getting to experience all these new scenes for the first time. It was so glorious.
>>69849892I fucking balled my eyes out during that scene when I watched it at home for the first time. I fucked up in the theaters by using the bathroom.
>>69849954
At the end of the day Boromir is a good guy trying to save his city, his people and his brother. Feels fucking bad, man.

in the commentary from the EE, Peter said that Tom Bombadil's presence in the story would break down any build up they had in setting up the ring's power and it's effect on Frodo and the people around him
and it makes perfect sense that Peter took him out, Tom's character would destroy the narrative that the ring was powerful and that someone else overruled it
>>69850216
Remember that time where the women were disrespected and shown as morons only used for their bodies
Me neither

How did we go from a film series where even most of what they cut was gold to another series where more than half the movies could've been cut and nobody would've given a shit?

>>69847619

Why does LOTR have the best speeches?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_i3Ax4YJySg
>>69850522
Because it's the only cinematic event in decades to have genuinely masterful writing
when I think of Lord of the Rings and how great they are, I'm reminded of how sub par Harry Potter was
Peter Jackson set up the ring to be a very evil and very powerful artifact. You heard how heavy its weight was when it fell from Bilbo's hand, how still it was. You could see how its weight scraped against Frodo's neck. How it prevent itself from melting immediately when the lava solidified in mount doom. It was all these little set ups and it was convincing.
In Harry Potter, I never got the sense that Harry could ever beat Voldemort, he was just so ordinary and he was able to beat the big bad. He was such a mediocre student who only knew a few spells.
>>69850449
wasn't he 1/4 black though
I remember hearing this speech in the movies and the tears just flowed
Sam is simply the best
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6C8SX0mWP0
>>69850742
To be fair, I'm a massive HP fan and loved the books. The movies fucked it all up. ESPECIALLY the last one. The last book was incredible and both parts of Deathly Hallows got ruined so that they were more marketable
Jackson didnt give a fuck about being too complex, he actually embraced it. He knew that 3 1/2 hour epic films were how fantasy is meant to be done. Last Harry Potter film had the source material for a Return of the King length film, but it instead was the shortest of the series with every single meaningful, emotional, epic, unexpected and memorable scene cut or shortened to keep the pace up. Lord of the Rings knew when to slow down and establish a setting or character. Harry Potter shot itself in the foot for the box office.

The final HP book also has a giant scene where Harry has the final confrontation against Voldemort in the Great Hall in front of both armies, and they talk for a while. During it Harry explains that he's about to kill Voldemort, and how he made it possible. It has perfect dialog. In the film, it's Voldemort chasing Harry around the battlements and slapping him around while Harry briefly says a tiny fragment of what he really says in the book. Most movie-only people had no clue why Voldemort died. In the book it's just wonderfully done.
>tfw always try to watch the trilogy but fall asleep at the beginning of the 2nd movie
i'll make it someday, bros
>>69848931
the perfect answer
>>69850942
A while back I would do a one-sitting stream of the of the entire extended trilogy on the last weekend of the month. I hosted them on /b/. Typical turnout was ~50 anons, many of whom stayed through the whole thing. Could bring them back, if there's interest. 4chan's cracked down on people streaming stuff in recent years and I dont want a ban for sharing what I love.
What am I in for?Never seen the extended cuts before.
>>69847913
maybe i'm tired man but i honestly forgot i could laugh this hard
>>69850522
Mr Aragorn, we meet again.
>>69851035
A lot of boredom. I'd recommend doing something else while watching them.
>>69851035
More feels, more immersion, more everything that is LotR.
Basically a 12 hour cinematic orgasm.
>>69851035
>mkv
enjoy your bundled virus
Only people who dislike LOTR because they have enough decency not to open shit all over the objective masterpiece in my experience are people who usually hate or don't understand the concepts of national identity, struggle and comradship and things greater than them. LOTR is all about ideas, not pushing any agendas and serving any interests, its just a timeless story, but leftist still find it extremely upsetting and will argue that this or that type of charater wasn't well represented or how one dimensional something is, even though they're missing the point of this story and probably life I suppose.
>>69850827
Of all the Harry Potter movies, I felt that the third film did the most justice
I remember seeing Ron's hand placed against the glass in the train and it began to freeze and then how they were all able to see their breath when the dementor came. I love these set ups. I didn't have that stark impression when I read it so when I saw it, I thought it was fantastic because it showed just how life draining the dementors were
....I'm hoping for a remake, where the story builds up and less episodic.
>>69851035
ive only seen theatrical cut once so i might be wrong here but i'm pretty sure that FOTR doesnt has too much extra in it.
TTT and ROTK have a lot of extra backstory and im fairly sure the entire borimir/farimir subplot is all extended edition only and thats a reasonably significant part of the story.
also an extra death scene or 2 and some of the battles go for a bit longer
Is that 247 minute Hobbit recut actually good?
>>69850916
that was the part where I'm unconvinced, and people have honestly told me that love was what saved him
but I'm also sure that in Voldemort's war, there were thousands of innocent lives that were taken and I'm sure someone would have protected their loved ones and the "protective love" spell would have occurred often
Harry can't be the only person with this kind of special protection
>>69850742
They could have been upfront more about how a piece of Harry was a Voldemort Horcrux, it could have made him sicker and sicker, see visions and go a bit insane. It would have reminded you how much of a burden he felt for being The One prophesied to beat Voldemort.
Instead they just made him look like a normal British boy the entire time and more like he just lucked into an answer at the right time.
>>69851229
Better than the Original.

>>69847052

Disintegrating into thin air seem anticlimactic

Wut? Why?
>>69851306
I mean, the obvious answer is that it was just something Rowling came up with way later down the line. She probably just wanted to make it seem like it was something she planned all along, probably also why she made the Invisibility Cloak one of the Deathly Hallows. The entire explanation for how Harry owned the Elder Wand also made little sense.

The books would be better if not for the ending where we see them years later. I personally did not like that.
>>69851306
Yes!! that is why I want a remake (it's silly, I know). They needed to show those instances. Hell, Harry being a horcrux may have been the reason why the Dursley's hate him so much. Harry couldn't even hold the locket for too long without feeling its evil presence and the Dursley's had to endure it for 11 years with Harry.
Another part that they could have showcased was that the Horcrux was simply protecting its container (Harry) and was imbuing Harry with power to protect itself against Voldemort.At least this could be used as a way for Harry to become more powerful as the series progressed.
I have a lot of feelings for Harry Potter

>>69851347
I know this is a LotR thread, but fuck it. Fantasy general.
In the book, there's a huge build-up and Voldemort doesn't just go poof. He dies the old fashioned way and they put him away in a broom cupboard during the celebration. The celebration is an enormous, Return of the King tier event where everybody goes crazy, they talk about how people are sending word all over the world that it's over. The book does it so damn well.
It's a bit of a read, but pic related is the climax of the book.
We could have had this in the film. We could have had something good. The celebration that over a decade of books and films built up to, a true sense of accomplishment and finality. Instead, the battle happens with no dialog and lasts about 25 seconds. The "celebration" is a quiet, small affair of people sitting back and sipping coffee for a less than a minute of screentime.
>>69851545
the entire explanation about wand allegiance in general made little sense
I know that Dumbledore is the most powerful wizard and yet somehow, a wand switches allegiance as long as you use expelliarmus at the right time. Draco is in no way more powerful than Dumbledore, so the idea that the elder wand was Draco's for a time is bonkers, just bonkers
imagine Lord of the rings in this style
am i the only one who thinks the normal version is better? the extended cut adds some neat scenes but overall it breaks the pace of the films for me, specially in TTT
>>69851723
It makes even less sense if you buy that the Elder Wand his its own will or whatever. The whole point of Draco Malfoy was that he's actually a total fucking wuss when shit gets real.
>>69851779

>>69851706
Yeah, compared to the movie scene, it felt more like a thud than a bang. The book just had more stakes, and that the stakes didn't just rest within the confines of the school but with the entire world.
A lot of the scenes in the final film felt like a thud. The scene with Bellatrix and Molly was too short. I recall reading that the director wanted to make the film's fight focused on Harry and Voldemort and didn't want to delve too much into other non harry fights. The scene was too anticlimactic. I remember in the book people were pushed away by the force of Molly and Bellatrix fighting and countering spells. That would have been the scene I'd prefer, but nope, I can't have nice things
>>69851976
He had no time to plan or even write a script. He had to start production the moment he signed on. Even Peter agrees the Hobbit movies are crap.

>>69848931
Yeah I think it's a huge mistake to compare the movies to each other, especially since they were all shot all at the same time essentially.
Lord of the Rings is one giant, 11-hour movie divided into 3 parts, not the other way around.
>>69847023
Nobody hates Lord of the Rings. It is fundamentally impossible. It is one of the greatest movie series of the past three decades.
>>69847483
I don't generally like fantasy but LOTR is the shit.
>>69851135
perfect
>>69851779
The extended editions are the way the films were meant to be watched
>>69851422
feel sorry for you
>>69851157
>I felt that the third film did the most justice
That's because it was directed by Guillermo Del Toro i.e. the guy who did Pan's Labyrinth, Hellboy and Pacific Rim.
>>69852448
You've got the wrong Mexican buddy.

It was Based Cuaron.

He dissed Lord of the Rings. He's a giant, raging faggot.
>>69852081
Dobby wasn't a faggot, I swear I read him fucking some female house-elf in one of the Harry Potter books.
>>69851422
What the fuk, how old were you?
>>69849252
I'd believe it. So many insane, magical and completely unexpected things happened during the filming of the trilogy, that a flag being ripped by the wind is the least of the improbable things.
>>69852659
he dissed the over-usage of CGI in 2nd and 3rd films (and obviously hobbit) which is a completely valid criticism
>>69852659
No he didn't. He likes them but he mentioned that he was disappointed with how much CGI that Two Towers and especially Return of the King used.
>>69852724
can you list few of those things, anon?
>>69850319
Tom cannot overpower the ring, but rather the ring has no power over him. Tom is his own master. Having him appear in film and explaining all these things would have made it complicated..

more importantly, he called Jackson a hack long before 4chan even existed

I like this one mainly because of the music

In the first Shire scene, after Frodo tells Gandalf that he is seen as a "disturber of the peace", when it cuts to the children running in the field and the song gets higher pitched, my heart can't take it. Then after Gandalf says "so do I" in that soothing voice and the overall shot of the shire comes in, just makes my eyes water every time.

Lee stepped down voluntarily, because he felt he couldn't keep up with the physical demands.
McKellan did a fine job. Gandalf is supposed to be inherently kindly, with his wrathful nature being the minor part of his character.
>>69851678
What.
In Django Unchained the guy says Dumas was black, is that a lie? Wtf.
>>69852754
The knife deflection by Viggo was pretty sick.

He also hiked his way to mountain sets to keep Sean Bean, who was afraid of flying, company
>>69854459
ooh yeah forgot about that
Shame they left out the scene where Minas Tirith recieves reinforcements from several provinces before the gate is closed for good

they probably felt the cast was big enough already

Mortensen broke his toe kicking an Orc helmet on camera, Bloom fell off his horse and broke a rib, and Rhys-Davies' scale double Brett Beattie dislocated his knee. They spent two days injured during the "orc hunting" sequence seen in the second film. Soon after, they spent a month of day shoots at Helm's Deep and another three months of night shoots handled by Mahaffie, in Dry Creek Quarry outside of Wellington, during which Mortensen's tooth was knocked out and Bernard Hill was hit on the ear with the flat of a sword. The extras insulted each other in Māori and improvised stunts, partially because those dressed in Uruk-hai prosthetics got extremely cold.
I haven't seen the LOTR trilogy since I was a kid, should I rewatch it again? Will I appreciate it more as an adult? Extended edition or the original?
>>69854669
Yes.
>>69854669
If you're gonna watch the whole trilogy then it has to be in the right time and place. No distractions.
>>69854559
i also remember seeing a video where Viggo was on a boat with Frodo's stunt double and he told viggo he can't swim, heh
>>69847023
>shit tier comedic relief thrown in at the absolute worst times
>>69854559
Don't forget that time a real dagger got thrown and Viggo and he barely deflected it.

It would have been an easy scene to add but they probably wanted the Gondorian Army to more uniform so the audience wouldn't get confused.

Except all the shitty lazy CG. Cave troll looks like shit

Tolkien never specified characters skin colour.
In reality elves and humans are black. Saruman is based on Yakub, Uruk-Hai are white people.

There is no depth or emotion to these movies.
You are telling me that you think Lord of the rings would hold a candle to movies such as Citizen Kane.

Most (all?) of the extra scenes from the extended versions were actually filmed separately from the original cut. They went back months later and filmed the extra scenes, they aren't just deleted from the original.
>>69847082
> Fellowship #1
>>69855503
not same guy but it was a real dagger
It was definitely blunt but in the documentaries the stunt guy said he put a bit too much power in it and it was heading straight for viggo

Because he's an asshole irl
This was truly a once in a lifetime thing, I don't see any studio putting this much resources in something and seeing through with a good result at the end.
