@devildog452 I just saw it just now, and you're right, a scene was skipped! I jonestly don't know how it happened, I guess it screws up sometimes.....DX
i think sam is actually an orc in this film adaptation...that would explain a LOT. Let's seee...Low level of intelligence, check. fugly, check...Yep he's an orc.
you nottice the bad guys just stand there like thinking ummm when the othere guy going to hit me soo i can move around some more lol they hard go any were like kill them dummys lol then one yell and they back up like it was a powerfull hit (sence none have a good sworlds skill in this movie then thats a no lol still good just silly
I watched this on tv recently and it's fair to say this is old but brilliant. I assume Peter Jackson used a lot of this versions material as a nod to it- because it was never completed. The rotoscope thing works so well. Aragorn is more likeable in this for me...
i absolutely love the score. im sick of those musics that have that same nauseant(is that even a word?) instrument that goes like nnnnNNNNNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHhhhhhhh..........mixed with anoter instrument that goes like *slack slack slack slack* and a violin playing a single note trough out the whole song.
The background is beautiful but the animation of the characters is terrible. What do you call it what they do? It's some real-live animation that is cartoonized.
You call it "Made in 1977-78" and without a Disney-caliber budget. I suspect the word you're looking for is Rotoscoping, but this is something that's used still....please don't become one of those gits that assumes it's a bad word.
I actually like the conscious choice on Bakshi's part to use it to animate the evil creatures---it gives them an unnatural, unearthly feel.
Well, of course you can't....Tokien(and Bakshi) would never be _that_ obtuse....but it's silly to think that the orcs, trolls and nazghul weren't at least partially based on the Germans Tolkien was shooting at in the trenches of WW1.
You don't go through something like that without it coloring your vision of what evil looks and sounds like.
Pienso que si toda la animación hubiera sido en rotoscopia o toda en dibujos animados se hubiera visto excelente porque la combinacion de las técnicas distrae un poco. Aún asi considero que es un gran trabajo.
I just wish for the love of god men would wear pants in this movie, I understand it takes a lot to animate them and stuff, but seriously its just a little odd to see men going about middle earth in underwear and shirts, with out pants.....that kind makes it a bit creepy actually haha.
Gimli looks like the 8th dwarf of Snow whites troop. He was originally called Fighty, on account of out of the 8 he was the only one who could kick ass.
@ mastergingernumber1 *L* True enough. I do not wish to dwell, but I couldn't help but think that if a few more orcses packed bows and arrows, like Lurtz did, that the Fellows wouldn't have had much of a chance. Oh well, all still good - can't have a movie with a cast of dead heroes. P.J. himself said something to the effect of being like Star Wars where the bad guys "can't hit anything". *L*
Animated Boromir must be a lot tougher than Bean Boromir - takes half a quiver of arrows to get him down in Bakshi's version! That look of desperation on Aragorn's face at 5:13 when he turns to Gimli and Legolas is very well done.
@MaskedMarauderWIS In the books, they just say that he was found with a lot of arrows in him, and lots of dead guy around him. Peter Jackson was just being realistic. (in a movie about elves and magic rings and orcs. Ahhh, the irony.)
The hobbits said Sam and Frodo, not Merry or Pippen. Orcs hate bad trumpet music and they attack like wild chimps taunting and getting ready to fight and attack.
There was a black chick on 8:11 being chased by Rodan.
The hobbits said Sam and Frodo, not Merry or Pippen. Orcs hate bad trumpet music and they attack like wild chimps taunting and getting ready to fight and attack.
@altarush your mother is a wild chimp . the orcs in this film look like orcs and nothing else you fuckin idiot . this is a great adaptation for its time in 1978 you tit !
The problems with this version are too many to count. But I'll try. Buck-toothed Samwise, not endearing. Angry Aragorn in a skirt - not really in character. Long pauses in dialog with little music, pretty boring. Luaghable Gollum. Rotoscope scenes were just silly. Death of Boromir, poorly done. No points for nostalgia. Doesn't stand up on its own.
@LuckyBandit75 Where in the first book does it describe what Aragorn is wearing. The book describes Aragorn as being taller and darker than other men of the region. In Jackson's version he's white. Read the books first before making such comments. Jackson's Gollum was laughable with giant bug eyes.
Bakshi's version does have some flaws, but probably not as many as you claim.
@LuckyBandit75 actually this is a very good adaptation for its time with the money and resources available . who are you to know art or talent or decide what is quality and what isn't ?
@chroniclerofthe70s Uh. It's sort of hard to avoid certain similarities when you're both working from the same source. What, pray tell, did Jackson 'rip off'?
Happily, it couldn't have been the Orcs. Or Sam. Or the, ahem, unique pronunciations.
@SyllaRa Jackson ripped off the scene where the four hobbits are hiding under the tree roots on their way to the Prancing Pony. The first book does not describe the angle of the scene, the color of the horse's eyes, or that the black rider got off his horse. If Jackson was using the book as source why didn't he use Glorfindel to take the injured Frodo to Rivendell. Both versions had their flaws although it seems Jackson composited parts of the book with some of Bakshi's visual scenes.
@chroniclerofthe70s Ah, that scene. Yes, I'd forgotten about that one—I have to agree, they are indeed very, *very* similar.
(Though my villain complex pushes me to add that I like the way the Nazgûl are portrayed in Jackson's version more. Just, the way the black cloaks billow, and the inhuman shrieks, and the utter darkness underneath their hoods... talk about awesomely menacing.) =D
@SyllaRa Agreed, i liked both versions of the black riders. I particularly liked the red glowing eyes and the dark atmospheric background moaning sounds when the black riders appear in Bakshi's version. It's been awhile since i've read the trilogy. Yes, Jackson's ring wraiths were aggressive and menacing. It's been awhile since i read the triology; i can't remember if the black riders shrieked in the Fellowship of the Ring.
@SyllaRa I think Jackson himself credits Bakshi's film for a few shots, and minor plot details. The Nazgul attacking empty beds, for example. He says it inspired him. Probably to do a better job though.
@Jakegothicsnake At 5:57 you can see that it goes right from Aragorn saying "We follow the orcs" to the orcs speaking to each other. There's supposed to be a part where their running in between those two parts.
@Jakegothicsnake But it isn't there!!!!! The longest running scene and Aragorn tripping are gone. The music that starts at 6:55 had a scene before that that lasted about 50 seconds before the bed and breakfast thing.
i think sam coming with frodo is portrayed much better in the jackson film. it shows that sam is following frodo because he feels his job is to protect frodo. in this it seems like he is only coming because he thinks he's supposed to follow frodo. it's not as heartfelt.
Yeah, it was all so good. Too bad none of it was ACTUALLY FROM Lord of the Rings.
Makes me wonder why Peter Jackson didn't just do his own god damned movie. I don't get it- there is a lack of originality and non-adaptations/sequels in Hollywood- and yet they insist on adapting "unfilmable" books such as Watchmen and Lord of the Rings- all so they can make a quick buck off of the name and bastardize the memory.
Hollywood could have benefited from an original fantasy equally "moving"
The Lord of the Rings was "unfilmable?" I think the boatload of Oscars it won and billions of dollars it made would disagree.
I'm re-watching the trilogy again now, after re-reading the books for the first time in a decade. PJ made mistakes, it wasn't a carbon-copy of the books (thank goodness)....but it captures so much of the spirit and essence of the books. It's about as good of an adaptation of a series you'll ever see.
First of all, I don't know why anyone thinks that a film winning Oscars and garnering critical acclaim makes a movie good. By those standards, Titanic and Crash are the best films ever made. Stop telling me what other people think of the movies, start telling me why they're actually good films. Apart from the fact that they were piss-poor adaptations, they were also mediocre films. For brilliant adaptations, see: Stanley Kubrick.
Something that is true to the spirit of the novel (the spirit of the novel wasn't corny one liners, like "I AM NO MAN", lame C3P0 and R2D2 dialogue between Merry and Pippin, CG monsters in place of dialogue, and god awful pacing that was deliberately changed to match the Star Wars formula for epic film making) while simultaneously giving me a reason to watch it as a film. The Fellowship was the best film in the trilogy, because it did just that. I just wish that (cont.)
instead of replacing Bombadil with (and I do think it was a good move to cut Bombadil, I liked him in the book but he doesn't work for a film) a half hour of ring-wraith chase sequences and god-awful dialogue between Arwen and Aragorn (oh, and Elrond pouting like a little bitch), they had replaced him with meaningful material. maybe spent more time making us sympathise with Boromir and less time making him seem like the King of all Evil. Peter Jackson needs to learn how to use subtlety.
you make some good points but i recently heard an argument on the subject of adaptations, remakes etc. that turned me on the matter, i.e. the original film, novel, comic, play, tv show etc. it and its quality still exists and endures + you don't need to patronise the remake if it's made in the wrong spirit. in fact, it's complimentary to the original that the studio felt it was successful enough to make a version of it.
sequels are another matter, of course. alien resurrection makes me weep
And I wouldn't mind so much if that's what an adaptation really does. A Clockwork Orange and Lolita do this- they pay compliment to the original, while simultaneously adding something to it that could only be done with the adaptive media. The problem with Lord of the Rings was it didn't add anything- rather it insulted. It made jokes out of the characters, turned the dialogue into mush, and created a generation of Rings fans who haven't read Rings
i didn't know clockwork orange was an adaptation :O
i must admit i'm one of those who's never read Rings, or, in fact, any tolkein, although i recently bought all 3 parts of Rings, as well as the Hobbit and Silmarillion which both sound very intriguing and i look forward to immersing in
i enjoyed the PJ films, for many reasons such as the sense of awe, terror, beauty and importance conveyed. i'm enjoying this cartoon too. and perhaps it's good that the films turn people to the books?
I can't deny that the last part is correct- that's always a good thing. Unfortunately, it does not always work as so. Especially when The Lord of the Rings is now referred to by every publication and on every piece of box art as "Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings".
The Silmarillion will bore the piss out of you. I loved it but, I think I'm one of the only few left. The trilogy is, however, a must read!

@SyllaRa I think Jackson himself credits Bakshi's film for a few shots, and minor plot details. The Nazgul attacking empty beds, for example. He says it inspired him. Probably to do a better job though.

Why did you edit out the part where Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli start running to follow the Orcs and the part where the Orcs are running?
AsiaPhoenix2008 1 year ago
@AsiaPhoenix2008 What?? I didn't edit that part out!
Jakegothicsnake 1 year ago
@Jakegothicsnake At 5:57 you can see that it goes right from Aragorn saying "We follow the orcs" to the orcs speaking to each other. There's supposed to be a part where their running in between those two parts.
AsiaPhoenix2008 1 year ago
@Jakegothicsnake But it isn't there!!!!! The longest running scene and Aragorn tripping are gone. The music that starts at 6:55 had a scene before that that lasted about 50 seconds before the bed and breakfast thing.

I have nothing against that the creators portraited Boromir as a viking it's kind of flatering ^^ (is nordic)
But vikings did not have horns on their helmets and wor pants.. =/

@CZeyn the thing is that it wasn't the people of Numenor (sp?) that were supposed to be like vikings, it was the horsemasters... Theoden's people.

i think sam coming with frodo is portrayed much better in the jackson film. it shows that sam is following frodo because he feels his job is to protect frodo. in this it seems like he is only coming because he thinks he's supposed to follow frodo. it's not as heartfelt.

@Agundis1825 Thank you. Thats the most disappointing thing of the first live action movie, which overall I loved. Boromirs death was lame.

Yeah, it was all so good. Too bad none of it was ACTUALLY FROM Lord of the Rings.
Makes me wonder why Peter Jackson didn't just do his own god damned movie. I don't get it- there is a lack of originality and non-adaptations/sequels in Hollywood- and yet they insist on adapting "unfilmable" books such as Watchmen and Lord of the Rings- all so they can make a quick buck off of the name and bastardize the memory.
Hollywood could have benefited from an original fantasy equally "moving"

@EatMyPwn
The Lord of the Rings was "unfilmable?" I think the boatload of Oscars it won and billions of dollars it made would disagree.
I'm re-watching the trilogy again now, after re-reading the books for the first time in a decade. PJ made mistakes, it wasn't a carbon-copy of the books (thank goodness)....but it captures so much of the spirit and essence of the books. It's about as good of an adaptation of a series you'll ever see.
teddilytoodily 2 years ago
First of all, I don't know why anyone thinks that a film winning Oscars and garnering critical acclaim makes a movie good. By those standards, Titanic and Crash are the best films ever made. Stop telling me what other people think of the movies, start telling me why they're actually good films. Apart from the fact that they were piss-poor adaptations, they were also mediocre films. For brilliant adaptations, see: Stanley Kubrick.
I don't expect a carbon copy, I expect (cont.)

Something that is true to the spirit of the novel (the spirit of the novel wasn't corny one liners, like "I AM NO MAN", lame C3P0 and R2D2 dialogue between Merry and Pippin, CG monsters in place of dialogue, and god awful pacing that was deliberately changed to match the Star Wars formula for epic film making) while simultaneously giving me a reason to watch it as a film. The Fellowship was the best film in the trilogy, because it did just that. I just wish that (cont.)
EatMyPwn 2 years ago
instead of replacing Bombadil with (and I do think it was a good move to cut Bombadil, I liked him in the book but he doesn't work for a film) a half hour of ring-wraith chase sequences and god-awful dialogue between Arwen and Aragorn (oh, and Elrond pouting like a little bitch), they had replaced him with meaningful material. maybe spent more time making us sympathise with Boromir and less time making him seem like the King of all Evil. Peter Jackson needs to learn how to use subtlety.
EatMyPwn 2 years ago
you make some good points but i recently heard an argument on the subject of adaptations, remakes etc. that turned me on the matter, i.e. the original film, novel, comic, play, tv show etc. it and its quality still exists and endures + you don't need to patronise the remake if it's made in the wrong spirit. in fact, it's complimentary to the original that the studio felt it was successful enough to make a version of it.
sequels are another matter, of course. alien resurrection makes me weep
CloudAerisSephiroth 2 years ago
That last bit made me laugh out loud a bit :D.
And I wouldn't mind so much if that's what an adaptation really does. A Clockwork Orange and Lolita do this- they pay compliment to the original, while simultaneously adding something to it that could only be done with the adaptive media. The problem with Lord of the Rings was it didn't add anything- rather it insulted. It made jokes out of the characters, turned the dialogue into mush, and created a generation of Rings fans who haven't read Rings
EatMyPwn 2 years ago
i didn't know clockwork orange was an adaptation :O
i must admit i'm one of those who's never read Rings, or, in fact, any tolkein, although i recently bought all 3 parts of Rings, as well as the Hobbit and Silmarillion which both sound very intriguing and i look forward to immersing in
i enjoyed the PJ films, for many reasons such as the sense of awe, terror, beauty and importance conveyed. i'm enjoying this cartoon too. and perhaps it's good that the films turn people to the books?
CloudAerisSephiroth 2 years ago
I can't deny that the last part is correct- that's always a good thing. Unfortunately, it does not always work as so. Especially when The Lord of the Rings is now referred to by every publication and on every piece of box art as "Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings".
The Silmarillion will bore the piss out of you. I loved it but, I think I'm one of the only few left. The trilogy is, however, a must read!
