Fellowship when they're running through that hall in the mountain, watch how CG Gandalf runs, it's hilariously awful.

CG is meh at times.

It's a very good trilogy, but not flawless.

TTT has some pretty bad pacing issues, and Hackson made some really retarded decisions in RotK

The first one is both the best fantasy film ever made and the best adaptation of a book to film ever made.

I wasn't impressed with the other two. The focus on large battles took away from the individuals, bad attempts at comedy intruded on what should have been very serious scenes, Legolas started to become the Mary Sue he is today, and Sauron somehow looked like much less of a threat when he revealed himself.

>>71921232
There are at least three scenes were you can see a camera or a piece of set equipment, like in Osgiliath when the orcs are entering on their boats and the chains are visible underneath.

The dumb warg attack in TTT and Aragorn falling off a cliff was stupid.

Elijah Wood was a bad Frodo, and the writing for Frodo and Sam was bad. Liv Tyler wasn't a great Arwen and had too many scenes.

Dropping Glorfindl was a bad decision.

The pacing in Return of the King was a little off, and they should have done the Shire/Saruman's death.

Overall I enjoyed it, I agree that they are among the best movies ever filmed.

There were some extended scenes that were pretty fucking terrible, Saruman's death probably being the low point of the trilogy
>>
>>71921784
I understand why that scene was done the way iit was, but it still bothers me a lot.

Saruman was at the top of the tower, and they were having the conversation as if they we 30 feet from each other. Also, Legolas had no problem hitting Wormtongue from the ground, even though Orthanc is like 400 feet tall. It just felt like a very poorly organized scene.
>>
It was shit, The Hobbit trilogy was way better because by then, Jackson had learned from his mistakes
>>
>>71921702
i dont think you fully grasp the concept of a deus ex machina... also denethor was great

they mentioned it just being cobbled together in the appendices

Also as a whole LotR is probably the GOAT trilogy.
>>
>>71922010
The purpose of the Army of the Dead was to stop the Corsairs from showing up to the battle with reinforcements.

In the the movie they just show up and win the battle.
>>
>>71921607
>they should have done the Shire/Saruman's death
They really shouldn't have.
>>
>>71921232
>find a flaw

--Every FX shot has dated badly.
--The makeup has dated badly
--The shitty "forced perspective" shots to make Gandalf look huge.
--The over-reliance of CGI as the movies went on.
--The trilogy is actually six books, which creates a momentum-killing moment in the first movie, and up to 4 parallel story-lines simultaneously by the third movie, it's too much of a mess.... a problem continued into The Hobbit trilogy, which was unwatchable.

These movies aren't great, they're just the only fantasy movies to come out since Willow in 1988.

You could've pointed out how there ARE niggers in Sauron's army, thus proving the OP wrong. But you had to make a fool of yourself.
>>
>>71921702
>everything with Denethor
What about it? I though it was ridiculously good and that he was portrayed exactly as he should have been.

>Army of the Dead deus ex machina
Army of the dead is exactly as deus ex machina as in the books. Also think about how the battle would have gone if there were no deus ex machina at all? Just a bunch of fighting and then eventually the good guys just are better at fighting and slowly overpower Saurons armies? Would work poor in a movie and be underwhelming.

>the fucking Legolas oliphant scene
This is the biggest flaw that is actually one. Really all these kinds of scenes are complete shit like the one where I think he surfs down a staircase or something? Not sure the purpose of that was other than telling us oh how great those alves really are and oh how cool this Legolas is.
>>
>>71921607
>The dumb warg attack in TTT and Aragorn falling off a cliff was stupid.
Because of the way dual-layer DVDs work, there was an awkward pause back in the day when Aragorn went off the cliff as the disc changed layer
>>
>>71921607
>There are at least three scenes were you can see a camera or a piece of set equipment, like in Osgiliath when the orcs are entering on their boats and the chains are visible underneath.
Minor, but sure

>The dumb warg attack in TTT and Aragorn falling off a cliff was stupid.
It was pointless but not terrible

>Elijah Wood was a bad Frodo, and the writing for Frodo and Sam was bad. Liv Tyler wasn't a great Arwen and had too many scenes.
Agreed.

>Dropping Glorfindl was a bad decision.
He's a cool character but I don't think he was necessary for the film

>The pacing in Return of the King was a little off, and they should have done the Shire/Saruman's death.
Are you serious?

First film is 9/10 at minimum, many here say 10/10.

Two Towers and especially Return of the King drop off in quality after that. Good battle scenes and moments but the sense of adventure and wonderment at the world isn't nearly as intense as in FOTR. I'd give TT a 7.5/10 and ROTK 7/10.

Boring as fuck adaptations of the worst series of fantasy novels ever written.

>>71922545
I remember there was also a pause in RotK when the orc leader spits at the catapult stone, and the troll looks at him confused. Was I the only one who experienced this or was it common?

@71922712
no you for this bait
>>
>>71922640
It would be shit anyways. FotR is the only one that is colorful. TTT is full of blue and RotK is full of bright yellow. I don't know why Jackson chose these monotone color schemes for the latter 2 films. Fellowship was so vibrant with colors
>>
>>71921232
2nd part was boring
>>
>>71922774
>muh colors
I just want to see the entire movie in one picture you autist

Trilogy has some minor continuity issues and a lot of illogical/stupid things done by characters. Like, why would they spare Grima and even let him run away on a fucking horse? Why did Gandalf let them go through the mines if he was highly suspectful of "shadow and fire"?

Aragorn has sue qualities but was portrayed so well by Viggo Mortensen that the audience totally buys him.

Legolas barely says anything in the first movie and occasionally takes an amazing shot with his bow. He gets worse in the other movies, but the other movies are worse in general.

Gimli is a fucking badass.

and there was me thinking the orcs were the middle earth version of niggers.

Orcs are gooks.

They literally could off just took the eagles there in the first film instead of spending three movies walking there

Dragonheart came out in between. Also the shitty Dungeons & Dragons movie.

I like how Jackson reused the orcs in King Kong to portray Malayan/polyniggers.

The Return of the King had too many endings, but to be fair to it...The book had even more endings.
