This is slop. Literally proto-capeshit of its day. Nonsensical pulp for easily impressed dullards. But hey, it's got an all white cast. LOL! Please grow up guys.

1/10 attempt at trolling.
return of the king is kinda disappointing
You saw what Jackson would become without restrictions and after burnout
Making these three movies at once used every thing he had up. I think he said so himself
compared to what? if you mean the book I don't see how. it's pretty similar. in fact, I could've done without the scouring of the shire. saruman's death is hilariously anticlimactic. much better in the films.
>saruman's death is hilariously anticlimactic
I think that's kinda the point though, this big bag narcissist dies like a common thug and is forgotten. Obviously it would suck translated to film but it's basically humiliating him to die that way.
Compared to a good movie
This.
It's forever funny to me that the worst movie of the trilogy was the one they decided to award the most.
imagine seething because whites are superior
name a better fantasy film from this century
Amazon's Rings of Power
cope
low quality bait kid
lurk more
There's a reason Christopher Tolkien didn't like it. And his father wouldn't if he was alive. It's absolute fricking slop and Peter Jackson is a homosexual hack but you won't get people to accept this because it's their autistic nostalgia security blanket. I was guilty of liking it for the same reasons until I started reading more and got a fricking clue.
No Christopher didn’t like them because Jackson would swap lines of dialogue and actions from character to character. It kept the tone of the work the same while butchering characterizations.
False.
No, he didn’t like them because he transmogrified a wholesome comfy tale into action slop deplete of the philosophical underpinnings the novel
>the novel
pseud!!
there are three novels hence the three movie adaptations lmao that you don't even know that much but pretend to have read them
I've read all of Tolkien's books, many of them multiple times and i like the movies just fine. The books are obviously superior, but the movies are about the best adaptation we could've hoped for. No studio was ever going to fund this shit without it being more action oriented.
inb4
>you didn't understand the themes and tone of the books
tbh i'm drunk and going overly hard on the books and movies but ultimately it's true they are largely bad and corny movies. that said, there's nothing wrong with enjoying janky shit occasionally, life is a balance of liking quality and trash, it's best to be fluid.
also if LOTR didn't exist this wouldn't exist which would be a crime:
>best book series
>best movie series
any other combo like this bros?
>Hamlet
>Kenneth Branagh's Hamlet
Ill be honest, there is some suspect shit jackson did. But its still great
Its guilty pleasure slop at best
>people make daily threads about a 20 year old movie series
Yeah, it's clearly just disposable capeshit lol.
It is, it was just the original slop and people have nostalgia glasses for it because the world wasn't fricking gay back then
If you can watch the final scene of Fellowship where Frodo pulls Sam onto the boat without feeling emotion then you are probably a genuine npc and I feel sorry for you.
>OMG LOOK AT THIS EMOTIONAL SCENE IN AN ACTION MOVIE SLOPFEST! YOU JUST GOTTA CRY MAN *consumes next product for morons unless it has "le woke" shit in it of course*
you are a sheltered manchild
>accuses someone of "consume next product" when they're talking about a 20 year old film
Jackson's LOTR was the Rings of Power of its time. You just like it because it was in a different context and you were younger and more impressionable when you first saw it. Deal with it.
Who do you think you're fooling
Nobody because I'm not trying to trick anybody. It's corny dogshit made by cornballs in a slop industry just like Rings of Power. Sure, Rings of Power has its own issues that come from a modern context and the pervasive tokenism/"representation" is cancer but that's not even in the top ten reasons it's shit despite the chud spergouts.
Which do you think is more likely:
>Pedro Jackson is a genius warrior of the west who has a deep appreciation of the myths portrayed in Tolkien's novels and went into with a deep and serious approach that will stand as a testament to the spiritual might of the pale race for years to come. If he were to pick up Mjolnir right now it would be fricking over for any brownoid within a five leagues of his Hyperborean excellence.
or
>PJ is some stupid fat motherfricker in an industry full of people like him with a trash beard making infantile adaptations of genre fiction from the 50s and adding his own dogshit sensibilities into it to the point that even Tolkien's braindead son started seething because it was so egregious.
oh and I'm trans btw if it matters
Very true. Sadly I can't post by troony dick and chest scars on a blue board.
why would unlikeable actors invoke any emotion in me
>This is swop. Lidewawwy pwoto-capeshid of ids day. Nonseecle pup for easiwy impwessed duwwads. But hey, ids god an aww whide cast. LOL! pwease gwo up goys.
Yknow I recently rewatched Fellowship and God the pacing was awful. Just breakneck speed every scene, kinda gave me anxiety. And the action was horrendous. Just quick cuts over and over. Like random shots of swords swinging and the someone's face and an orcs face and someone else yelling. No continuity whatsoever everything is so fast.
Let's be honest bros, it is a little slopppy. It's still excellent, but not non-sloppp.
Honestly The Hobbit movies are better. They're not good by any means but at least it isn't held up to high standards despite being movies for drooling morons like LOTR.
an unexpected journey is unironically better. but desolation is kinda bad and 5 armies is actual capeshit. of the worst kind
Jesus Christ, Cinemaphile morons really insist on being contrarian about everything, don't they?
Next you'll start telling us that "Superman IV is KINO" or some other shit.
>mfw I watch LOTR
schlooooop
LOTR is slop. Everything Peter Jackson made outside of Bad Taste and Dead Alive are fricking garbage
I'm so done with this shithole board frick you all
Even Harry Potter was better than this shit
It really was. It's funny to look back and think of the old "LOTR vs Harry Potter" stuff of the time when LOTR seemed like the clear pick but nowadays the LOTR flicks are just cornball trash and the HP flicks are genuinely soulful childrens' entertainment and had Rowling involved.
You could even say Rowling mogs Tolkien in the sense that while Tolkien was a scholar and she's just some single mom it doesn't matter because his autistic project of turning these old yuro myths into epic stories colored by his Catholic shit sprinkled everywhere was kinda schizo and lame in hindsight. Meanwhile Rowling just made a fun boarding school world that will hold up forever. It has more staying power than
>muh yuropee-an rangs and goblins and tom bombadil
but lord of the rings is better than the potter books. the films are just not very good
Stupid homosexual Black person
This is such weak bait it was likely written by a teenager. Look at the impotent attempts to rile up more anger by drawing comparisons to rings of power.
If you want to get actual replies you need to criticise specific things wrong with the movies to make the nerds mad. Grow up
>dullards
homosexual alert.
nah Lord of the Rings was what created most RPGs and games of nowadays. It was a really influential series of books that did create an universe and the hollywoodian trilogy did capture some of the magic (although I honestly think it disgusting). I don't like half of what hollywood makes of literature, but in this case I did scratch an itch for most of its fans.
if only this was true. as bad as hackson's machwerk is it is at least way more faithful to the mythical middle ages than forgotten realms
It was the start of nerd shit being really popularized for normies. Just total fricking ass cancer all round
Bro calm down, mom will be bringing your tendies downstairs soon.
Bait aside OP is correct in the basic sense.
>Rings of Power failed
>time to say the OT is bad!
Shills on suicide watch KEK
Rings of Power is infinitely better because it featured ethnic minorities instead of being a lame and cringe white male power fantasy.
>it's got an all white cast
This is literally all it takes for me.
I can't be proto capeshit because lotr is based on good books while capeshit is based on a fork of a fork of a fork of a revival of 200 issues of a 60 year old retconned remastered moronic characters. Nothing can be worse than something that's so dsygenic as capeshit.
is picrel good just because it's based on the bible?
>good books
well idk
it's slop but it's not quite capeshit
it is marred by shitty hobbits, moronic takes on how the world, quips and bad cgi
well maybe IT IS proto capeshit
You have objectively bad taste.
OP is actually right though. It should be called Lord of the Reddit.
you shan't turn me, igor
>You won't demoralize me, shill! The Lord of the Rings trilogy is a western classic and any attempt to demean it must be part of a conspiracy by the Russians. But my mind is a fortress of that cannot be penetrated.
nice try, ivan

I know, it's wonderful isn't it? Blacks and browns love to seethe about their lack of representation in LOTR but the truth is you're all just morons who overlooked the obvious fact that you are clearly represented by both the Orcs and the Uruk-Hai. Not to mention they both represent pure evil, just like you do.
Wrong pic meant to post PotC
why did they have to bring the ring to mordor? why not just bring mordor to the ring
