My god…. If there were a Leslie Neilsen cut of LOTR, I would watch the hell out of it.

If it helps... They got to eat the stew in the books

#3 buts it's all valid except for those that like episode 9.

#14 vis a vis the Rankin & Bass / Bakshi films, the Peter Jackson trilogy *are* the remakes
cheetah098
#27 in the book they finish the coney stew.
Odincdaj522004
#21 Okay, yeah, but that's literally what happened in the book.
ItsACrazyWorld
if they even try to make a LOTR remake I will burn that studio to the ground.
mercyPandaRunner
#14 It already IS a remake, if we're going by that logic.
himisti
#1 it's not the fans fault hobbit movies sucked (especially 2 and 3).
Pokedthebear
#14 actually it is a remake.

#10 is fantastic ?

Moronic. Also shows US liberals aren't liberal.
AnOceanOfStars
#1 Now there's a new "Faramir"... The Rings of Cringe.
ChocolateCookieAndFudge
It's so boring so far. I like the actors but I'm still waiting for the story to start.
Zahnradfee
I think that's Grima.
chunglungus
it's not black and white between socialism and capitalism. regulated capitalism can work. all systems carry potential for corruption.
PlaidBastard
Hey, man, I don't give a shit about black fantasy people or Elrond not being Agent Smith. It's just nice to not have molten gold look wrong.
PlaidBastard
I'm being totally serious. Cartoon molten metal physics in that second Hobbit movie made me literally too mad to ever see the third.
NotAPervert
What was wrong about it
PlaidBastard
Gold glows reddish orange, like lava, when it's molten. It doesn't look like gold paint.
mrbadxampl
some I hadn't seen before, nice
whatmakesushuman
Likewise.
ObviousPidgeon
Samewise.
GreatOdinsTaint
#1 Yes except Faramir was the better man and the Hobbit was definitely NOT the better trilogy.
Haiddon
faramir was not better, both were equally valid. boromir just had a more tragic end, because his moment of weakness happened at a worse time
SalmonTheWise
Faramir did not succumb to the Ring's temptation, not even for a moment, unlike Boromir who struggled with it until final moments.
SalmonTheWise
Even Gandalf and Galadriel were weaker to it, only Samwise Gamgee is of purer heart than Faramir.
BiterAtmonk
I take it you're a LOTR movie guy? Because as someone said below, "the movies did Faramir so dirty."
enheru
The movies did Faramir so dirty though.
lemmonjello
I never really understood the hobbit hate personally
lucidbarrier
He put a bunch of filler & way too much CGI. It looks really fake. If he had just stuck to the books & used real actors it would have shined
paladindansesgirlfriend
There was so much more than just over the top dwarf and Legolas action - the shoe horned female elf and the Alfrid character were awful
Fordbot
3 movies for a book <1/2 size of Fellowship...
DarkSock
Fan be like “about time I kicked that nasty hobbit…”
CrazyCatLad
Yeah, they're alright and keep my attention but definitely don't have any lines memorized unlike the trilogy.
channelranger
For me it was the bad CGI on the orcs in comparison to LOTR and the bad pacing that came from turning 1 short book into 3 long movies
mooncactus
There was some sfx makeup but not a lot unfortunately. I missed it too
channelranger
also the all the elves felt like a bore to watch fight, they just kinda flipped around like invincible ninjas
lemmonjello
how is that different than legolas in lotr?
paladindansesgirlfriend
The Hobbit acting was amplified beyond any reason. Legolas was much more toned down in LOTR - he climbed in falling bricks for gods sake
channelranger
Because IIRC he usually had one dumbass stunt per movie- and it's a choreography thing. I could never follow what they did.

#3 After all the rage surrounding the Amazon show, I’ve learned that Tolkien fans are lil‘ bitches too
Mupp33n
Problem is its just bad. They jam so much stuff that spans 3000 years into the same time period. Isildur shouldnt even exist yet.
enheru
Galadriel's story still living back before year 300 while Numenor is already in the year 3000+
Rengii
I'm loving it so far. Best thing to do is just be careful which parts of the internet you visit to discuss it.
enheru
The Amazon show completely disregards the source material. So, yeah, if you're a Tolkien fan then it's going to piss you off.
ZahelTok
I'm not a Tolkien fan and I hate it too, the acting is so freaking bad, some parts look really cheap.
ChocolateCookieAndFudge
I'm not a hardcore fan of LOtR but I've struggled to keep focused during each of the 5 episodes so far. Doesn't Galadriel have magic?
enheru
Yes, yes she does. She is the 2nd most powerful elf in terms of magic.
ChocolateCookieAndFudge
Who is the most powerful elf in term of magic?
enheru
Feanor. He died fighting an army of orcs and balrogs alone. He should be dead in the show's time period, but who the fuck knows.
AstroExplained
Also weird that Gil-Galad calls her commander and treats her so badly. She's the eldest and most powerful of his family at the time.
enheru
I still can't even figure out what time period she's supposed to exist in since she was married and had a daughter by year 300.
AstroExplained
Elrond too is excluded because he's not an "elf Lord", but he is. He's a member of 2 royal elven houses, 2 houses of men and has Maia blood

No, only Minivandalf, Grandslamdalf, and Macho-Mandalf

Can you share macho-mandalf

Look I won't sit here and shit on The Hobbit movies for existing but you can't compare them to the LotR trilogy.
fartbender
Lindsey Ellis did a couple great episodes breaking down when happened with The Hobbit movies. I highly recommend!
mooncactus
LOTR is my favourite, but… Lee Pace tho…
PostsNComments
Yes you can. People do all the time. You literally did it yourself in that comment.
Cryptox
They felt very 'standard low budget fantasy film' to me, despite having very high budgets
Miyamotofan
They're worth it for Lee Pace as Thranduil.

If you liked him there you'll love him in Foundation

Lookin at you redhead elf who shouldnt have existed
Annemoon
That was honestly the least of its problems imo. It was more the general meandering around the plot to fill out the story.
pallyman
Yeah but she's gorgeous though, so who gives a shit? My belief was suspended, what more do you want in a movie?
GabbyJayYay
A good story that makes sense. Who gives a shit about eye candy?
channelranger
I dislike them mostly because the idea to stretch a small story meant for a younger audience into 3 movies was stupid.
Sutashi
I agree. I watch movies based on books as fan fics w a budget. Some are better than others but it gives me a chance to enjoy them more.
Darklinkinfinite
After watching all the making-of material it seems the main issue was that they went through the pre-production process for Del Torro but
Darklinkinfinite
when he left the project and Jackson took over they didn’t go through the same level of preparation with Jackson, who was making his own
Darklinkinfinite
vision of the film so a lot of stuff was thought out on the fly or later on in production where LoTR was Jackson’s movie from the start and
Darklinkinfinite
were far more prepared for filming. There were times when Jackson was just shooting stuff that he would have to find a use for later
