Those aren't orcs. Those are a combo of the Morlocks from the original "Time Traveler" and the bogeys from "March of the Wooden Soldiers." How the hell could anyone have taken them seriously?

@HistoryLubber Even if it wasn't in the book, I don't think the wings really "ruined the image of the Balrog" because when you see the wings they are appear to be very thin and vieny and made mostly of smoke, so even though it has wings it doesn't mean its able to fly and plummeting to death is still a very great threat to them.
@lilrodi Remember the giant foot Frodo stabbed at 1:12? That was the cave troll's foot. This version of the cave troll was actually how it appeared in the book: nothing but its foot was seen. Peter Jackson just expanded the cave troll's role a bit in his movies.
ummmm gandalf must not care about pippin. cause he's called the blonde and the brunette that..see clip before with the well for proff, unless maybe I imagined that??......and ohhhhhh Frodo playing dead, what a classic
ummmm gandalf must not care about pippin. cause he's called the blonde and the brunette that..see clip before with the well for proff, unless maybe I imagined that??
Everyone is complaining about the balrog. He does look like total shit but the cave troll was worse!!! It looked like a fat Orc! Jackson's cave troll and Balrog were awesome. This film sucks. A fat Orc and flying lion? Really?!
the fight scenes are terrible in this movie...and wtf is with the balrog just appearing out of nowhere? its supposed to be this crazy strong demon motherfucker and there is no buildup at all to it, all of a sudden hes just there
Balrog looks like a cross between a spiderman and a moth, The way he is flying is like Vlad Dracula, Sorry guyes the one in the....I mean The LOTR .....is much better.
Really I think this version is more "true" to the feel and descriptions in the novel; the only thing I disagree with is how Boromir looks like a Viking; him I imagine to be more like the live-action movie's version (I forget the actor's name, sorry). But everything else is worlds better and more realistic looking (in the sense of how things are portrayed, I mean) than the live movies.
Yes this film is a classic, especially the sound track. This scene shows the cave troll as MUCH larger when he enters the door, but then it seems just an orc throws the spear. I thought that was the cave troll who threw the spear? I also notice Legolas bow has a nice "cello" type curve at the top at first, then it's gone in the following drawings..hmm. I should be an editor :) The fight with the balrog is much better, they both just fall, very realistic. The balrog can glide not fly.
i know some movies didnt have great effects back in the 70s but couldnt they just make them all animated or all live action? bad enough the balrog is shitty and so are the orcs but aragorn wearing a miniskirt... just......facepalm
This is so lame. It's a perfect example of what happens when you rely too much on rotoscoping. You can't tell what's supposed to be animated or "real," and the result is jarring. The fight scenes are terrible, too, presumably because the animators are only capable of drawing over the actors hitting one another with wooden sticks instead, of you know, actually showing the swords entering the Orks' bodies.
I really agree with you. Why come and ruin it for other so to speak?
Anyway, the scene where the orc throws the spear onto Frodo is superior to the Jackson movie. I can´t believe it´s from 1974, this movie! There are a lot of things I like better than the Jackson movies, not that we have to compare. Gandalf is so much more real in this one and Aragorn is dark which suits more.
His enemy halted again, facing him, and the shadow about it reached out like two vast wings. … suddenly it drew itself up to a great height, and its wings were spread from wall to wall … From the book, this is probly where they got wings on balrog from, they never really give a clear description of a balrog cause tolken changed the concept of them alot, there are many, not just one.
The orcs are actually a bit scarier than Peter Jackson's orcs, and the part where Gandalf and the Balorg clashed swords was pretty cool, but Peter Jackson's balrog and overall Moria depiction will never be beat.
Balrog looks like a giant flying chewbacca with butterfly wings. Aragorn looks like an pantless indian, Boromir is a viking. Legolas has a horrible haircut, gimli has an turbane, saruman is aruman, balin is belin, elrond is the julius ceasar and someone in the prancing pony shoutetd HEROIN!
In my opinion Bakshi's version id just as good as PJ's version. It doesnt matter when they where made. I think Bakshi did a very good job creating middle earth. This version, in my opinion, is darker and more serious. I like that it's animated because for me, it adds to the effect that it happened a very long time ago. I love this movie just as much as peter jackson's and I will always respect it, despite the problems that it has.
Gandalf yells so loudly when he tells the demon butterfly that it cannot pass. This was way better than Peter Jackson's lame version. He totally butchered it. And I like how the butterfly thingy doesn't fly when he falls off the bridge. My favorite thing is how aragorn wears a miniskirt. This is definitely how I saw it when I read the book.
@poggymoose are you crazy!!?, this is in no way better than the Peter Jackson version. balrog looks wack as fuck, the orcs look wack as fuck. the whole damn Moria scene was wack as fuck in this.
@poggymoose I actually analysed the sound for that same part in LOTR, which was excellent - sound effects, the way Gandalf's voice rose etc. You have to prove why it was "lame" as you say, but for now you sound like an old fogie. I know your comment was written months ago but I would love to thumbs down you and the 13 other old geezers that agreed so foolishly with you!
@artep2122 You try to sound smart when you take an obvious sarcastic comment seriously, are you trying to sound like an idiot? To be honest I could never keep a straight face and call Peter Jackson's version lame, It's one of my favorite movies of all time. I'm a huge fan of the books I've read The hobbit twice, The Silmarillion once, and The Lord of the Rings 3 times. And I'm only 12. The Mines of Moria is my favorite scene from the book, And in my opinion this couldn't have been done worse.
@poggymoose Listen kid, you're the idiot who obviously thinks you know so much about writing sarcasm. If you write something that is sarcastic, it should be recognised without video accompaniment. Do not quit school, child, you have a lot to learn, and I've come across many like you who "think" you know but don't know crap. Also you're an idiot in that you just told the world basically that you are underage and using YOUTUBE when the minimum age is 13. Grow up, then come back, fool.
@artep2122 I really have better things to do than talk to some halfwit like you, I know you'll come back and say it's because I have no response to your derogatory remarks, or say something offensive about the "Better things I have to do". By the way you say that my sarcasm shouldn't have to be recognized without video accompaniment, You should know that it was sarcasm just from my phrasing "My favourite thing is how Aragorn wears a miniskirt". Now how could I be serious about that? Goodbye.
@poggymoose Little boy, go and actually learn something. So you learn a new little word at school, and you think you could take me on? I laugh at your stupidity child, don't even try to go there with me. You try to sound so intelligent calling me a "half wit", not even knowing anything I've accomplished. Also the reason there is an age limit is to prevent me from having to converse with silly, immature, "know-it-all" (as if!) kids like you! Nice you've learned all those big words!
@poggymoose Now go and get common sense. YOu are the one who was trying to talk down to people by telling them to look up sarcasm as if you think you're the only person who knows! Now you can't take the heat? I have seen men dressed in the outfit Aragorn wore, so it is not out of place to me. The only goodbye I want to hear from you is you getting off Youtube, being an under-aged child; and only replying to your little kiddie friends with the same silly mindset as you.
@poggymoose Haha! So that's your retort? Gay? I'm supposed to be offended? You see what I was telling you all along? That might work with your little friends with the same lack of mind as you, but for me....? So now you're being homophobic. Good luck with that. Also you continue to display your ignorance. You think you know more about concepts than grown animators? (I'm not saying they were all correct). For the setting, I can imagine Aragorn in the outfit, so did the filmmakers.
@poggymoose Your imagination is limited and that's why you can't see that. As for your comment, I will not tell you what I think. It does not make me feel greater to tear down a child one the internet. Your parents need to control your activities.
@poggymoose You idiot children clearly saw the Jackson movie and thought that it was how these things are 'meant' to be depicted. There's nothing wrong with this version, and in fact it is better than Jackson's. The balrog doesn't fly in Jackson's lotr when it falls either, nor in the book. Notice how it's falling back-downward? That's why it can't. Try using a parachute with it below your back. Dumbasses.
@WalterLiddy It wasn't falling back-downward when the bridge broke, and I've read the book and seen the movie. And I complained about it not flying, because it can clearly fly with out any trouble what-so-ever. However in the books, the balrog never flies. And I have read the book three times, my dad read it to me when I was ten(along with the hobbit), and I've read it every summer since. AND ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?!?! BETTER THAN PETER JACKSONS VERSION!!!
@poggymoose Both versions are cool, both have their ups and downs, but I prefer the newer one. I did read the books, but I don't think that just because Jackson's vision didn't totally meet up to my visualization that he butchered it.
Omg this is so much better than Peter Jacksons rendition of the Balrog Scene, Peter totally butchered the book and this stays closer to the original, not to mention this is just how I imagined it when i read the book!
@Gargantupimp I saw this film in a theatre as a kid back in 78', the theatrical release had much blood splatter that i later noticed was deleted from the dvd release.
@poggymoose actually Bakshi's version does follow the books more closely than Peter's. Mostly in the script. As for the Balrog scene, Peter did do a very good job. However, I do not think it was as big in the book as the movie. I think Tolkien pictured it somewhat smaller. Still big, just not as big as Peter made it. But yes, I dont think tolkien meant it to be a demon butterfly, which I believe can be turned into something pretty awesome with a few changes.
They were too lazy to draw the orcs so the put actors in ugly costumes :D shame :D

Also you're an idiot in that you just told the world basically that you are underage and using YOUTUBE when the minimum age is 13. Grow up, then come back, fool.

@artep2122 I really have better things to do than talk to some halfwit like you, I know you'll come back and say it's because I have no response to your derogatory remarks, or say something offensive about the "Better things I have to do". By the way you say that my sarcasm shouldn't have to be recognized without video accompaniment, You should know that it was sarcasm just from my phrasing "My favourite thing is how Aragorn wears a miniskirt". Now how could I be serious about that? Goodbye.

@poggymoose Little boy, go and actually learn something. So you learn a new little word at school, and you think you could take me on? I laugh at your stupidity child, don't even try to go there with me. You try to sound so intelligent calling me a "half wit", not even knowing anything I've accomplished. Also the reason there is an age limit is to prevent me from having to converse with silly, immature, "know-it-all" (as if!) kids like you! Nice you've learned all those big words!

@poggymoose Now go and get common sense. YOu are the one who was trying to talk down to people by telling them to look up sarcasm as if you think you're the only person who knows! Now you can't take the heat? I have seen men dressed in the outfit Aragorn wore, so it is not out of place to me. The only goodbye I want to hear from you is you getting off Youtube, being an under-aged child; and only replying to your little kiddie friends with the same silly mindset as you.

@artep2122 Where's the place you see people dressed like Aragorn? The gay bars you go to Saturday nights?
poggymoose 1 year ago
@poggymoose Haha! So that's your retort? Gay? I'm supposed to be offended? You see what I was telling you all along? That might work with your little friends with the same lack of mind as you, but for me....? So now you're being homophobic. Good luck with that. Also you continue to display your ignorance. You think you know more about concepts than grown animators? (I'm not saying they were all correct). For the setting, I can imagine Aragorn in the outfit, so did the filmmakers.

@poggymoose Your imagination is limited and that's why you can't see that. As for your comment, I will not tell you what I think. It does not make me feel greater to tear down a child one the internet. Your parents need to control your activities.

@poggymoose You idiot children clearly saw the Jackson movie and thought that it was how these things are 'meant' to be depicted. There's nothing wrong with this version, and in fact it is better than Jackson's. The balrog doesn't fly in Jackson's lotr when it falls either, nor in the book. Notice how it's falling back-downward? That's why it can't. Try using a parachute with it below your back. Dumbasses.

@WalterLiddy It wasn't falling back-downward when the bridge broke, and I've read the book and seen the movie. And I complained about it not flying, because it can clearly fly with out any trouble what-so-ever. However in the books, the balrog never flies. And I have read the book three times, my dad read it to me when I was ten(along with the hobbit), and I've read it every summer since. AND ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?!?! BETTER THAN PETER JACKSONS VERSION!!!
poggymoose 10 months ago
@poggymoose Both versions are cool, both have their ups and downs, but I prefer the newer one. I did read the books, but I don't think that just because Jackson's vision didn't totally meet up to my visualization that he butchered it.

Omg this is so much better than Peter Jacksons rendition of the Balrog Scene, Peter totally butchered the book and this stays closer to the original, not to mention this is just how I imagined it when i read the book!

@Gargantupimp I saw this film in a theatre as a kid back in 78', the theatrical release had much blood splatter that i later noticed was deleted from the dvd release.

@poggymoose actually Bakshi's version does follow the books more closely than Peter's. Mostly in the script. As for the Balrog scene, Peter did do a very good job. However, I do not think it was as big in the book as the movie. I think Tolkien pictured it somewhat smaller. Still big, just not as big as Peter made it. But yes, I dont think tolkien meant it to be a demon butterfly, which I believe can be turned into something pretty awesome with a few changes.

One would think elves would wear the mini skirts, not men. Also why didn't the Balrog fly? It's got wings so...

Tha balrog scene is way better in Peter Jackson's LOTR and does anyone notice that the orcs aren't animated.

Hmm, maybe Aragorn, the Transvestite in miniskirt should have fought Balrog the Drag Queen... that would've been interesting.

I thought Sam looked like an annoying retard. But then the orcs showed up. And they looked like the most ridiculous thing you can think of.
...but then the Balrog showed up.
Fly, you fools.
