Is this the one thing all of /tv/ can agree was incredible?
>>70989622
sure, op
>>70989622
People who love LOTR are such loser faggots. I've never met an adult who was into LOTR who wasnt a basement dwelling mouth breather
>>70989812
the idea is that once norps have gotten a hold of an idea, it's ubiquitous, so there just isn't a need to point it out anymore.
you just see it as butthurt and knee-jerk anticonformism because you secretly love norp cock
>>70989622
Watch it again once you turn 25, you'll realize it's no different from capeshit.
>>70989622
The Hobbit was way better.
>>70990154
If you do this, dont forget saying "it's 2016" every 10 minutes. You will love the movie even more.
>>70989622
Last half of RotK was ruinous mediocre tripe.
So no.

the few shitposters who hate on LOTR must be so frustrated that pretty much everyone considers them GOAT.
/tv/ has way too many autistic contrarians for everyone to agree. And once a few of them speak out against something, most of the rest will change their opinion.

did you like the epic battle scenes kid?

still mad because frodo and sam didnt fuck on camera?

No, really.
The ghost army felt cheap and cheaty, and ruined the drama and suspense of the scene entirely.
>i am no mawn
Absolute dog-shit.
>Faramir gets a get-out-of-death-free card because he has a name
>thus destroying the tragedy of the previous scene where he (and all his loyal knights but who gives a fuck about them right?) waste their lives in futility out of duty to his shitty father
I could go on and on. RotK really was a mediocre disappointment and marred the series.
What was the point of Dernhelm? He shows up, gives merry a ride then disappears and is never mentioned again. What kind of bullshit writing is this?

Only the the first one holds up and its perfect. Overrated.for nostalgia and has started to age badly already
FOTR 10/10
TTT 6.5/10
ROTK 4/10
I never realized how much the editor tries to hide how bad the fight choreography is until I rewatched them recently. Some of the big battle scenes are particularly egregious.
>>70990557
The no man thing came directly from the book though, blame Tolkien
>>70989622
I mean, I like the movies, but I don't think they're great
Marathoning the trilogy is a great way to spend your sundays, but that doesn't mean the movies are good.
People try to tell me that it has flaws but I literally cannot see them
I like the series so much im incapable of seeing any flaws, its just incredible every time
>>70990858
yup. sequels were moderate to bad. first was great.
>>70990792
>already admitting you lost the argument
Sorry, LotR was never really that great. It was just the first.
>>70991093
It wasn't stated exactly like it was in the film - way less fucking cringy in the book.
>can we all agree
kill yourself
>>70991323
I bet you liked Warcraft...
>>70991323
>cringy
how's high school?
>Ruling is hard. This was maybe my answer to Tolkien, whom, as much as I admire him, I do quibble with. Lord of the Rings had a very medieval philosophy: that if the king was a good man, the land would prosper. We look at real history and it’s not that simple. Tolkien can say that Aragorn became king and reigned for a hundred years, and he was wise and good. But Tolkien doesn’t ask the question: What was Aragorn’s tax policy? Did he maintain a standing army? What did he do in times of flood and famine? And what about all these orcs? By the end of the war, Sauron is gone but all of the orcs aren’t gone – they’re in the mountains. Did Aragorn pursue a policy of systematic genocide and kill them? Even the little baby orcs, in their little orc cradles?
>The war that Tolkien wrote about was a war for the fate of civilization and the future of humanity, and that’s become the template. I’m not sure that it’s a good template, though. The Tolkien model led generations of fantasy writers to produce these endless series of dark lords and their evil minions who are all very ugly and wear black clothes. But the vast majority of wars throughout history are not like that.
Book autists will always hate it.

I want to lick and worship Galadriel's soles.
>>70989622
I was an adult when I saw it so it seemed pretty bad.
>>70990154
I'm doing this right now. Starting with 3, then 1, then 2.
3 is a little memey and bad but still amazing tbqh senpai
>>70991546
Raging autist. Lord of the rings is fantasy folklore. He thinks his Game of thrones is like fantasy west wing, but it's actually just a big game of RISK
>>70989622
it is and will be, the epitome of blockbuster filmaking. the likes of which we will never see again
>>70992574
Agreed, my dear friend
>>70989622
No, I didn't like it. I'm not trying to be contrarian, I just don't like the genre and I didn't like this.
I'll say this much
The first half of the fellowship is cosy kino, then the rest of the 2nhalf movies is
>talking
>talking
>landscape shots
>talking
>talking
>oh shit 10 million orcs
>lets hold up in this city
>oh there's so many of them and we're only 5000 for some reason
>oh but here come the Unkillable main characters that kill 500 orcs each
>oh but it's not enough, we are surrounded ;(
>oh the main character(s) that weren't helping is already came through in the last minute with a defeat all the orcs in 2 minutes button(literally helms deep Minas tirith and the battle at the black gate
The movies are OKAY but they're dull written
the same action scene music ever repeating, but not as bad as the repeat in Hobbit
Full of ass pulls
But then again they're based on books for kids and so the quality is for kids
2/10 actual movies, a massive snooze fest desu
9-10/10 kids movies
>>70992208
He's a fucking hypocrit too
>bla bla big ugly bad guy with ugly minions vs the good guys
>literally what the white walkers in the show are, a fucking science experiment gone wrong
I fucking hope he stuck to the mystical ice race in the books
interesting thread, lotr NOT /tv/ approved
>>70993252
>using "talking" as an insult for a movie
fuck outta here
>>70993372
There's talking, and then there's talking
There's talking in attack of the clones and there's talking in insert any good movie here
>>70989622
No.
That's Avatar.
>>70989622
LotR is amazing. It has a unique atmosphere of comfy and mystical.

The Thing (1982) is the one thing /tv/ can agree was incredible
as a kid yeah
>>70989622
Certainly.
>>70990536
I did right after the Hobbit. Lotr now looks like a masterpiece of good times before total corruption.
>>70989622
No, it's overrated. Particularly hated all the slow-motion, ethereal music scenes. Have seen it once in cinema, had no desire since then to see it again.
>>70990296
At least the first Hobbit movie, yes.
So many contrarian and or butthurt homosexuals ITT. It must be hard, living a life where you find no joy in anything.
LOTR is one of he rare, true epics
>>70989622
Things /tv/ unanimously likes:
LOTR

1st movie, Gimli being a walking d&d stereotype and comic relief, Arwen replacing a character who had an actual reason to be there and taking up about ten times more time than she should have.
2nd movie, Legolas' hot hijinks at Helm's Deep, Gimli now has no characterization beyond being comic relief, Aragorn having the dumb about war and leadership despite being twice Theoden's age, elvish soldiers showing up because it would have been too hard to mention how Lorien is too busy helping Mirkwood with Sauron's fucking fortress that is in the middle of it and the armies coming from the north to attack the Lonely Mountain and Laketown, elvish soldiers being weak fragile girls in power rangers armor who die to a bunch of orcs with pig stickers, more Arwen, literally everything involving Faramir and Denethor, Gollum getting an hour of screen time in order to show off the special effects
3rd movie, the parts with Frodo and Sam are good, the rest is a drive off a cliff as PJ is tired, money is running out and everyone in the crew is sick with New Zealand and just want to finish everything up quickly so they can work on the giant monkey movie. I rewatched the trilogy before going to see the first Hobbit movie and the third film almost blunted the horror of it, so similar the awfulness was.
>>70991160
They are objectively great though. Performances, visuals, sound, story, everything (well, CGI not so much) . True, it's pretty straightforward and not as nuanced as faggot of arabia but not every great work needs that.
