the fact that this ended up being a good movie is a miracle
>>221831284This shit is racist.
>>221831316OP already said it was a good movie. You don't need to convince him.
>>221831284I don’t think it actually is that good.
>>221831316Really? Never bothered watching it, might check it out
>No Tom, jolly Tom-a dillo
No, it just happened before the rot set in. Good films were still made by passionate people in the early 2000s.
>>221831316you are the one who is racist
>>221831284Its only one out the three thats actually paced well
>>221831284it's not really a miracle so much as having several years of pre-production and an entire cast and crew who were extremely passionate about the source materialthat's not a miracle that's just what's supposed to happen
>>221831284This is proto-capeshit. Hackson is a hack.
It has some scenes that are not so good but it's incredible that this was made by the same guy who directed Bad Taste
>>221831668>capeshit>all non sensical power level slop >when LOTR is entirely about how power is inherently corruptive even when its used for good
that miracle's name?harvey weinstein unironically
I remember playing really early lord of the rings PC games, one of them captured the whole feel of the Tolkien world and this is what the movie trilogy did as well.
>>221831823>when LOTR is entirely about how power is inherently corruptive even when its used for goodNo it's not you retard. The Human and Elven kings with all of their power almost never went corrupt and if they did it's because some dark lord did it. Galadriel, Gandalf and Aragorn basically had the ring shoved at them and turned it down.
>>221831974All three of those refused to use it even knowing its power would help, two of them even made a point of getting it as far away from them as possible knowing they'd inevitably fall to its influence
>>221832079>a dark lord did itNow explain how the most OP guy in existence, the oldest of old, the only one in Middle Earth who is more powerful than the ring itself, Tom Bombadil, is a jolly merry fellow and not a dark lord.
>>221831838>Peter Jackson’s initial pitch for The Lord of the Rings to Miramax was for two movies. >Weinstein repeatedly tried to gut the project. He threatened to fire Jackson, replace him with Quentin Tarantino, and demanded the massive epic be condensed into a single 2-hour movie. Weinstein's brother, Bob, even suggested killing off one of the hobbits entirely. When the budget escalated, Miramax gave Jackson permission to shop the script to other studios. >New Line Cinema head Bob Shaye made a historic gamble: he viewed Jackson's pitch and suggested, "Why would you do two films when there's three books? Why wouldn't you do three films?"
>>221831668>>221831974>Capeshit is when a classical story of Moralist Just Men fighting against Evil and Destructive ForcesNow what, the whole the Ethos and Myths of the Western World are Proto "Capeslop" or that?And then you fags then complain about the kikes "subverting" the ethos and shiet.
>>221831974Galadriel was literally vanished from Valinor, she was only allowed back when Frodo offered her the Ring and refused.And Aragorn never wanted the throne for its power, he thought of being a King as the best way he could serve Gondor.In the end, what defeated Sauron was just Frodo and Sam.
>>221831838Peter Jackson and his entire production team hated Weinstein and his brother so much that in the credits that has their names are superimposed in front of a still depicting two ugly fat cave trolls
>>221832503Even with the ring Frodo has virtually zero power and yet the ring corrupts him. The theme is darkness, not power, corrupts, you absolute knuckle dragging retard.
>>221831316Whats with you obvious fucking troon shills infesting the board, how many golden shekels you get per day to shit up our board? I only hope china fucking annihilates your parasite country
>>221832503>In the end, what defeated Sauron was just Frodo and Samnah, even they failed at the very endan act of god defeated sauron
>>221831284Always bet on Nolan.
>>221831284>2001>lotr 1>harry potter 1>shrek>rush hour 2>mummy returns>ocean's elevenIt was a different time.
>>221831284I am no longer able to force myself to watch Two Towers and Return of the King.The feel like a slog with no wonder component that made Fellowship so great.In Fellowship we go from peaceful green hills of Hobbiton to rainy dirty Brill, to swampy Eregion, to beautiful autumn Rivendell, to snowy peaks of Caradhras, to dark mines of Moria to golden Lothlorien to forests of Anduin.In Towers it is just grass steppes for 3 hours.Same with Return.And the characters barely travel, they just talk and fight.Surely story beats are here but between them are rather boring parts.Fellowship feel the only one worthy of watching.It is 10/10, while TT and Return are like 6/10.
>>221833259a lot of good games toocrazy how fast they used to push them out from like 96-2003
>>221833286Sure but if you watch 1 you have to watch all 3 of them that's just how it works
>>221831668That's true for Gimli's scenes in two towers and return of the king, but Fellowship just has occasional comedy moments that don't feel as intrusive as the other movies' bits.I have always called Gimli proto-Marvel too but only for the later two films
>>221833307you didn't need to have photorealistic graphics as normies didn't like gaming that much
>>221833434it's that they couldn't have photorealistic graphics, the tech just wasn't there yetit was still a painstaking process to make a video game, only in very recent times have people accepted that it's normal for a game to take 4-6 years to make SQUARE pumped out FF7, FF8, and FFX basically 1-1/2 years apart from eachother without stopping, while putting out side projects tooThis used to be normal.
>>221833603*FF7, 8, and 9
>>221833603>it was still a painstaking process to make a video gamemuch less so than it is today, there were thousands of times less polygons you needed to render back then
>>221831284True. Even though it's far from perfect, the passion and artistry poured into these films is just unparalleled.
>>221832261(((Weinstein)))
>>221833111>Those TripsBRAVORAVO
>>221833866Harvey Weinstein is jewish? what the fuck........I can't believe....please tell me it's not true......
>>221831284It was a miracle that it was made at that lovely era of decent enough CGI to bring fantastic worlds to life yet the woke cancer hadn't completely consumed Hollywood.
>strong actors>true to the source material>good set pieces>accurate costume and make-upno miracle needed desu
