Why do all high fantasy movies suck balls except LotR, Conan the Barbarian, and Excalibur?

Tolkien ruined fantasy

Conan wasn't High Fantasy. It was Sword and Sorcery.
Also, you should check out Stardust.
>high fantasy
What a dumb term. Do we really need to grade the fantasiness in fantasy? Just call it fantasy, you fucking nigger
Nobkdy says low action, or high drama

It's different than Harry Potter fantasy, though.
>>71681461
High Fantasy just means it takes place in another world.
Low Fantasy is stuff like Harry Potter.
>>71681852
You are correct but I've seen retards here who argue that LoTR is low fantasy because there aren't enough wizards
>>71681852
>Conan
but conan takes place on earth, as does lord of the rings, so wouldnt that make them low fantasy? i always thought high fantasy was wizards and shit, and low fantasy was just more like robin hood or first knight
>>71681393
Legend and Krull are awesome tho
Willow
>>71681461
It's like the difference between space opera and dystopian future
>>71682108
Krull is crap.
>>71682045
Technically Lord of the Rings takes place on earth too.
>>71682288
No it isn't
>>71682187
Dragonslayer
>>71681393

Low fantasy is barbarians in loin cloths and shit. High fantasy is based on the late middle ages.

The style/aesthetic/design is really important for some reason with fantasy.
Its art direction has to be perfectly realized, and cohesive
Which has to be believable/real and otherworldly at the same time.
With a good world design with its own cultures and atmosphere and sense of place.
If you compare the few good fantasy films with all the others, the difference is in the overall realization of this cohesive style. Which was perfect in the case of Conan and LOTR.
Whereas the bad art direction and other weak links in its constitution utterly ruined The Hobbit.

>Implying legend wasnt a masterpeice

Grow up
Oh, you can't.
Conan The Barbarian is pretty much a low-magic D&D campaign done right.
>>71682331
Yes it is. It really is.
