No, it's true. Gollum was described, in The Hobbit, as a slimy, leathery, dark creature with eyes very large, protruding, and pale, who mumbled and murmured in whispers and gurgles.
He became that way within the first third of his Ring-extended life.
The blue-eyed, animated, Jar-Jar Binks-ish caricature we see in the live-action films was mfin moronic, not even close.
They jarjarbinks'd his ass. Great films, overall, superb music, acting, and mood-setting, but that one thing I always hated. Gollum was key to a great deal, even there to the end at Mount Doom, so fing up his character for the sake of giving a chance to some shitty Hispanic actor who could only make childish high-pitched obnoxious squealy sounds was an insult.

Sounds like exactly what we got.

That's how he was portrayed? Also he was also described as "dark" and "black" at times because he moved around in shadows and has dark clothing (he didn't have a loincloth in the books, probably more like old rags or something)
The movies butcher the book(s) in a lot of ways but Gollum is very believable on-screen as a real character
>Jar-Jar Binks
comparing the reception to Gollum to Jar-Jar is one of the reasons I think Gollum deserves respect as an achievement. They got mainstream audiences to not only accept a fully CGI goofy character but feel empathy and fondness for him.
I'm with you, they made him more cartoony because it's easier to animate expressions from mocap. He looked totally different in Fellowship too. I would have preferred this gollum to the other.
It's certainly decent enough and relatable, but there are better old-school fantasy/fairy tale stories out there. The King of Elfland's Daughter and The Worm Ouroboros come to mind.
Jesus, when I bought those DVD sets, they were like 65 eurodollars per movie. The kid me had to save up a long time to get them. Now you can get the whole trilogy EE in 4K for 40. I'm entirely justified to pirate, aren't I?
Im not trying to be funny here but you remember the scene where Merry and Pippin are just fricking around for 5 minutes drinking ent water and getting captured by a tree?
Literally WHAT purpose did that entire scene serve?
To show merry and pippin "growing"? establishing that the forest is angery?
It kinda tried to explain how those trees got powers to move and kill the uruks after the battle of helms deep. For those who has not read the books that scene serves zero purpose as it is not explaining a shit, more like confusing more.
still the best version these DVDs, no green/blue filter and no DNR like the hideous "4K" versions which are just ai upscaled because the lazy fricks couldn't just make a new scan from original film negatives
Bullshit. 10 more years of this revisionist homosexualry and "people" like you will claim that >durr the movies jumped the shark when the watcher in the water appeared, it was so le heckin comfy and grounded before that, then it turned into generic fantasy with big monsters and overblown action scenes
Actual quote by some homosexual on this very board btw.
Just because you want LOTR to be nothing but this, doesnt mean that every intelligent viewer and the rest of the world wont appreciate movies that go beyond the premise of >Oh dear will that poor hobbit ever hammer that pole into the ground in time for bilbos party???
Its lord of the rings not lord of the garden parties, you r gay lol.
when I was little i thought they just cast a guy who looked like that to play him
>desperately searching for flaws in LotR because no one wants to watch Rings of Power
Seethe softly, loser.

Dumbass. Plus it looks better than any Pedowood slop graphics released recently.
au contraire, mon frere
LotR is boring bullshit and everyone who likes it is gay
there are no arguments against this other than pathetic lgbtq+ cope
I dunno, I keep finding myself drawn to interesting videos about the world:
also, why is homophilia so intense on this board?
I just skip the scenes that are exclusively with the hobbits and it's kino.
It's certainly decent enough and relatable, but there are better old-school fantasy/fairy tale stories out there. The King of Elfland's Daughter and The Worm Ouroboros come to mind.
>actually popular thing is okay but nowhere near as good as these two obscure things
Soijaks are the sign that you lost an argument.
I had all three of those DVDs and I don't know where they are now
;_;
I disagree with Gollum, but I think the mass soldiers, particularly in RotK don't hold up.
Eat shit gayoo
Is there actually any torrents for the special DVD version?
Tig
Gollum won the argument

Go ahead but check out the appendices if you can. Comfy BTS kino
I wish a pox and and shitty blue ray filters upon you
Two Towers Extended Edition is dull, bloated, poorly paced and filled with bad special effects. Shame since Fellowship is 10/10.

Yes they do, but Gollums voice sounds like Fran Dreschers in most of TTT

The Two Towers is also when the movies went full cloakshit.

He wasn’t incorrect.

they do as long as you're not watching it in 4k, which it was never intended to be viewed in
