Probably not. Even The Hobbit trilogy wasn't nearly as good, and Rings of Power was much worse. I'm glad that it came out during my lifetime. There are people born after it came out, and things got worse real quick during that time.

That's fine, because they may not like the Fantasy genre. You can't force people to like things. I love Fantasy, because I played RPGs all my life, which all have elves, dwarves, magic, swords, and so on.
For people that do like that stuff, Lord of the Rings is like the peak. Like another anon said, Fantasy movies have never been good, and it makes this trilogy look better.
dated a zoomzoom potter addict who had never seen it. she got bored and also after explaining the ring's corrupting force on gollum she said something like "yea but he still shouldn't be mean like that... not really an excuse." she also had her friends track her location like some kind of tagged animal.
>she also had her friends track her location like some kind of tagged animal.
I imagine it's because you give off a rapey vibe and they don't want her to be abducted, anon
the tracking dot disappeared as it neared my place cos I was livin way out innawoods and then I forgot to tell her to turn on wifi calling otherwise no cell signal/service - friends hadn't heard anything in hours after dot fell off the map and were about to call the cops before I remembered. kids need to relax.
For real. I was talking about the movies with someone at work and a younger coworker came up to us and said
>”are you talking about the hobbit?”
“No, the LOTR trilogy.”
>”oh, the old one? Never seen it”
I was pretty shocked. That was seven years ago.
>”oh, the old one? Never seen it”
I don't like watching stuff before I was born either. The latest generation would have to, because stuff is so diverse and pozzed now.
My favourite caption for this is the one that's like
>when you're high and your friend is asking you where the money for the delivery guy is
>cast Liv Tyler as Arwen
>not Steven Tyler as Elrond
>not Steven Tyler as Elrond
They needed someone who regular humans could understand without Google translate
Remember that Clerks 2 scene where Randall goes on about how Star Wars was the superior trilogy. That has to be one of the most poorly aged takes ever recorded. Kevin is brutal hack and has the worst takes on film.
Kevin Smith is a moronic hack
>still the most kino blockbuster trilogy to ever be released
Wow, if this shit is the best I wonder how bad the rest are
What gay shit do you like that isn't Lord of the Rings?
>implying that LOTR is somehow not gay shit
You didn't answer my question, so I'll have to assume you're a little b***h coward, and you showed up here because you dislike the other little b***h cowards. Nice 0% self-awareness moment. Reply after the hide.
LOTR fans are absolutely deranged wow
just name something better
Then the LOTR trilogy? I’ll name some trilogies:
>The Dollars Trilogy
>Back to the Future
>Indiana Jones
>The Godfather
>Toy Story
>The Star Wars Original Trilogy
>Spiderman
>Planet of the Apes
>The Dark Knight
>The Spock Trilogy
>Mad Max
>Kung Fu Panda
If even the son of the creator of the books (who dedicated his entire life to editing and publishing his father’s materials) utterly denounces the movies as gross adaptations of the source material then you know it isn’t particularly good and that something is missing.
An adaptation can be completely unlike the source and still be good in its own right.
Chris was autistic about his fathers work and if he was alive to see rings of power he would have said far worse than his remarks about the movies
Amazon really did wait for Christopher Tolkien to die so he wouldn't come out and criticize Rings of Power. Now, the Tolkien estate is in the hands of JRR's dipshit grandson who wants to prostitute out his grandfather's legacy for a few bucks.
>son of the creator of the books
That guy was a miserable autist much like yourself. No wonder you feel a kinship with him.
>That guy was a miserable autist much like yourself.
How can you call yourself a LOTR fan but also call Christopher Tolkien a miserable autist? You don’t know who he is do you, LOTR movie enjoyer?
>How can you call yourself a LOTR fan but also call Christopher Tolkien a miserable autist?
Because he was one. Just like you.
kek why should anyone give a shit what the son of the guy who wrote the books has to say?
>you have to respect his opinion even though he had absolutely nothing to do with creating lotr
that's some moronic shit right there
do we have to respect the opinions of everyone vaguely related to tolkien in some way?
Do you know who Christopher Tolkien is?
>The Dollars Trilogy
lol
>Back to the Future
lol
>Indiana Jones
lol
>The Godfather
3rd removes it from contention
>Toy Story
lol
>The Star Wars Original Trilogy
Absolutely LOL
>Spiderman
what?
>Planet of the Apes
what?
>The Dark Knight
An solid #2
>The Spock Trilogy
lol
>Mad Max
lol
>Kung Fu Panda
troll
>>The Dark Knight
>An solid #2
Idk man, Rise was fun but Baneposting survived as long as it did for a reason, and it ain't because of how much everyone loved that film...
If you're propositioning everyone into having gay sex with you, this has to be the shittiest effort you've done/
christcucks are so desperate to push this shit. avengers was 10000% more popular
>popular
Not a measure of quality
lotr was the popular marvel slop of its day, christcuck
>uhh b-b-but marvel slop is 1000x more popular!
>uhhh wait LOTR was also popular if popularity isn’t a measure of quality!
Cope, capeshit will never compare to this kino
were frodo and sam gay?
All of the male hobbits were drugged with wizard magic and raped by Gandalf
Is there a version of this with just the elf parts?
>t.hasn’t read the books
These movies are the best for its genre, but that’s only because there is literally zero competition.
SOON...
The Ring flies now??
Bros, why did this never come out? Everybody knows Lord Of The Rings was supposed to be a quadrilogy
Only Fellowship is good. TT and ROTK have fine isolated moments but there's too much CGI capeshit and Hackson shittery in there.
imagine if the same people released a hobbit movie 2 years after return of the king, with ian holm as bilbo
would have been 100x more kino
>literally lightning in a bottle. We'll never see anything like this again
Sadly no. Good storytelling takes a backseat to diversity quotas and twitter troon shit these days.
Brown people hate these movies.
>Where's my representation?
It's not there because you don't matter.
>Where's my representation?
They're actually there, because the movie has Orcs and Goblins. Lord of the Rings isn't white people fighting each other, and they're fighting evil monsters. Haven't you seen that Miyazaki quote about LOTR being about whites killing foreigners? He actually understands the movies.
Well, hope springs eternal. But the more important part of this story is that it was made and will always be remembered as some of the greatest movies of all time.
yeet

This might be the shittiest bait I've ever seen in my life
Both Star Wars trilogies are better. Revenge of the Sith mogs Return of the King so hard it's not even funny.
Do you guys think the Tolkien estate, who shat on Jackson's version, ever looks back on the trilogy in the context of modern adaptations and think "you know, they weren't that bad"
>Do you guys think the Tolkien estate, who shat on Jackson's version, ever looks back on the trilogy in the context of modern adaptations and think "you know, they weren't that bad"
No, I doubt it. If they spoke badly about it, then it was their honest opinion. I bet Tolkien's children and grandchildren don't care about Lord of the Rings at all, and they're too busy spending the money it made.
Why would ever afterwards be worse? Because they were made to make money.
Why would everything afterwards*
FELLOWSHIP is awesome. The other two are meh.
Also, never like the NZ setting for Middle Earth. There was no magic or mystery to it, unlike the incredible landscape PJ created on Skull Island for Kong. Middle Earth should have been done CGI like that.
