Want to be racist against blacks you need to climb into a hole on the internet. Want to be racist against whites and you can go on the nightly news and say that shit straight into the camera.
And even then, it's not that bad
Worst offender is when the ground around the black gate crumbles, that genuinely looks like shit
But even the 'in your face' CG elements like the Moria troll, the mumakil, Treebeard etc don't look bad at all. Harry Potter also has aged tremendously well save a few elements. What was it about movies from the early 00s and the CG holding up?

I'd argue CGI nowadays looks worse
Worth mentioning that the Balrog looks crisp clean to this day and even the things that could look dated, you'll forget about it because it blends pretty well with what you see
I rewatched it recently and the biggest issue is definitely pacing, in both directions. It somehow manages to both drag on for way too long, while simultaneously going too fast.
Everything else about the movies are great. Absolutely love the voice of the dragon, especially at the end of movie 2.

The cartoon is much better.

Speaking of the Hobbit cartoon. The Gollum character in this movie is underrated. I like his bipolar voice/behavior. He seems less cunning, but more unpredictable compared to the Jackson trilogy Gollum.

I'd say he was pretty feral before they put a leash on him.
>The Hobbit trilogy is going to get the prequel treatment.
when Rangs was coming out there were a ton of "The Hobbit trilogy wasn't THAT bad, you guys" posts here. Keep in mind those movies came out a decade ago, so some Anons who can post here saw those movies when they were kids/pre-teens and have nostalgia goggles on for them.
Only the first movie is halfway decent, and Bilbo's confrontation with Smaug in the second movie is the only scene in the next two movies worth a shit. Battle of the Five Armies might be one of the ugliest and nonsensical movies ever made. It's an awful trilogy and it's painful to see them get the prequel treatment.

There's literally nothing to complain about unless you're some mind-broken anti white who is now (but wasn't 20 years ago) assblasted that such a great trilogy can be almost entirely white.
I'm trans
I've seen LOTR about 15 times and read the books 4 times
LOTR is the best book I've ever read and I plan to re-read it again ever 5 years
Anyway I find the films to be a bit boring these days, the battle scenes of the 2nd and 3rd film bore me sadly but they're great in the books
I wouldn't call it cheap. But yes, it's a movie meant for children/young adults and the adults of today love it because they grew up with it, just like Star Wars for boomers. The original Star Wars movies were great for its time, but objectively middling to the actual great movies that have come out in the decades after it.
I just rewatched the entire trilogy a few days ago. It's still excellent, and a 10/10 trilogy. The cast is perfect, the music is perfect, the action is perfect, you care about all of the characters and so much of the dialog works so well. "I can't carry it for you, but I can carry you!!!"
There are literally tarmack roads and cars going past the edge of The Shire in some shots. Jackson was just winging it from day1, he didn't really care about anything but the action scenes.
Prepare for more and more of these articles to come out + paid Twitter shills getting more vocal so when Amazon announce their remade movies (with the RoP cast and Black folk) the internet reacts positively
lemme guess, one of the things they list off is that aragorn isn't a Black person? or that there aren't any non binary or trans folks in the show? I would kill whoever wrote this with my bare hands
Saw it home on TV with my Dad, after the hype was all over.
Sam and Frodo are gay homosexual homos.
Maybe they weren't intended to be, but the direction and the close shots made them too intimate.
Men don't act like that.
They do show emotion under extreme duress, but it's usually very subdued. That could have been used in the film in order to signify the weight of the situation.
Then again, the hobbits were written to be little west-country englanders conscripted into the hellish meatgrinder that was WW1. Portraying them losing it Nic Cage style wouldn't have fittted the tone of the movie.
Still as it is, it's gay.
It's also both rushed and very boring at the same time. The books had a lot of exposition that you simply had to cut from a cinematic release. Even so, they films had an unusually long runtime for the time period.
You can feel both problems eating into the movie. You get the feeling that a lot is being skipped and omitted, which it is, but the things that are being adapted faithfully feel slow, since that's the pacing of the original work.
Normies eat that shit up, since they don't read and have no taste.
Chosen of Moloch Bezos, could have blasted the budget of the shitty Amazon dumpster fire on a 3 season TV show, that could have fleshed out the LoTR books, properly. Nice and slow pacing, keep all the shit in, Tom Bombadil and all.
Black person tastes and opinions need not apply, if you want your gay goy sloppa suck it from the fetid anus of Marvel.
My only criticism of the trilogy is that they cut some very fricking good scenes.
Christopher Lee's death scene, although completely different from the book, was fricking boss and should have stayed in.
I've got rips of the movies (135gb/movie) saved on my servers and play them annually for Christmas or NY eve when whole family gathers. In playlist there are only movies with no or minimum amount of Black folk. Everyone is always happy with my choices.
With rarbg down, I'm expecting more trouble with finding rips of older movies. But I'll do my best to get enough of them so that in the future I wont have to watch a single minute of AI assisted niggrified editions of my favorite movies.
Hackson fricked up the scene where Gandalf confronts the Witch King at the Gates of Minas Tirith.
Only big change I can think of that wasn't just streamlining a book into a 3 hour movie.
I really love the imagery and symbolism of the crown sitting up nothing. He has his crown but no true agency. It's just so alien.

CGI was hard back then so people had to put effort into it.
CGI back then was the spectacle, now it's a tool. It used to get the proper funding and attention, now it's offloaded to the cheapest pajeets avalible
>What was it about movies from the early 00s and the CG holding up?

Pre-unions so now they have to outsource to India and shit to get good prices or something.

Or did he jump on to a horse? Been a long time since I saw Return of the King.
Worst offender is the charge out of Helm's Deep where the uruk-hai are pushed aside like jell-o ragdolls
I'm not sure you can even really say that because it's no better or worse than CGI nowadays.
I'd argue CGI nowadays looks worse
Even cgi back then looks better than cgi now. I've no idea where and how they're spending their cgi budget for all these marvel/Disney movies.
Embezzlement. The director and producers are pocketing most of it.
Worth mentioning that the Balrog looks crisp clean to this day and even the things that could look dated, you'll forget about it because it blends pretty well with what you see
This. Most of the CGI still holds up well, but the stuff that looked like shit even at the time looks even worse with the 4K release.
I only really notice the scene at the end of ROTK where everyone kneels in front of the hobbits.
>Literally the only thing you could say
I don't like the costumes.
N
I
yea, troons first
What do they consider good?
zoomers and women unironically love the Hobbit trilogy
The Hobbit trilogy is going to get the prequel treatment.
My opinion of the Hobbit trilogy has grown more positive over the years, but there are still many fast forward moments in it. The dwarf gang is great.
I rewatched it recently and the biggest issue is definitely pacing, in both directions. It somehow manages to both drag on for way too long, while simultaneously going too fast.
Everything else about the movies are great. Absolutely love the voice of the dragon, especially at the end of movie 2.

Frick you and your clickbait trash

Everything else holds up amazingly well
I wonder if there are any trannies that can't watch this anymore because Gandalf screams you shall not pass at the top of his lungs.
Why do high fantasy books drive trannies so insane? First Harry Potter and now this.
They hate beauty and all that is good. Good triumphing over evil after trials and ordeals is antithetical to their nature.
~~*They*~~ hate it because it's a genre deeply rooted in European culture and folklore

You shall not pass
That scene makes me tear up every time I watch it
It is just so fricking epic, I feel like it's burnt into my DNA
Jump in a lake
Laketown?
How old were you when you were molested?
Its honestly not a very great movie if you watch it as an adult. It just feels cheap kids movie.

You know an article is moronic shit when no one is even willing to put their name behind it.
There are literally tarmack roads and cars going past the edge of The Shire in some shots. Jackson was just winging it from day1, he didn't really care about anything but the action scenes.
what should i see in the red square?
There's some smoke or dust billowing in the background. It's not really clear what it's coming from.
it could be a chimney or a tar kiln. Its not like smoke didnt exist before cars
Prepare for more and more of these articles to come out + paid Twitter shills getting more vocal so when Amazon announce their remade movies (with the RoP cast and Black folk) the internet reacts positively
I rewatch it every Christmas and it is still soulful and miles ahead of anything that gets released today tho?
Gay clickbait. Gay thread. OP sucks a bag of dicks.
Quite frankly, I for one am, *ahem*... BORED of the Rings.
My dad had this book in his collection
Not sure why
lemme guess, one of the things they list off is that aragorn isn't a Black person? or that there aren't any non binary or trans folks in the show? I would kill whoever wrote this with my bare hands
Black folk seething at their inability to create anything, what's new?
let me guess "no naggers"

You are closeted
The books were much gayer.
The spread of homosexualry made male to male affection less common.

The only thing I don't like about the movies is the way the dialogue is shot. Shot, reverse shot constantly. It's a bit boring and flat.
My only criticism of the trilogy is that they cut some very fricking good scenes.

Not enough black culcha
Did Sam end up fricking that dwarf girl?
Lemme guess, not enough gays and blacks
I bet Rings of Powers shills/stans wrote that shit article!
No black people disappointingly and show how much a hack Jackson is
