  • Lmao! 6:58 stoned/smug Gandalf

  • The characters in this are BULLSHIT!! But, the dialogue and plot (the little that there is) is more accurate than PJ's. He had the budget to do it right, but spent it all on visuals.

  • @Tippotipo I was going to continue the argument by asking where I said that I expected a 100% accurate adaptation (considering most complaints seem to be with what Jackson added, including poor dialog and dumb sub-plots), but then I realized you were trolling when you said this: " Some scene like Eomyr vs Witchking worked better than in a book."

    lol okay

  • @EatMyPwn

    That is expecting too much of a thousand pages book. Kubrick never had that kind of challenge in his lifetime and was mostly specialized in science fiction. Peter Jackson had also help from Sir Christopher Lee, the only cast to ever met John Ronald R Tolkien in person and one of the hardcore LOTR reader and other staff. No matter the adaptation from books, there will be always complainers. Some scene like Eomyr vs Witchking worked better than in a book.

  • @EatMyPwn

    Clockwork Orange and Lord of Rings adaptation from book cannot be compared, the latter is overly complex to fully translate in movie considering the constraint from scriptwriters, budgets and publishers. Problem with mini-series is the consistency in term of audience and story, it would not have the same success like the big screen counterpart and has bigger chance to be left unfinished. Be glad PJ adaptation renewed LOTR interest.

  • @Tippotipo as far as "bringing a work to visual life for the soul purpose of bringing a work to visual life" goes, anyway.

  • @Tippotipo Usually adapting a creative work is an attempt to give your own creative input- an adaptation can be accurate (A Clockwork Orange) or way off (Children of Men) and still be fantastic. Lord of the Rings felt like it was a cut-and-paste of key events from the books, with some stale, awful character arcs thrown in by Jackson to appease film audiences. Large scale literature that's very grounded in its material and offers no reason to be adapted usually works better as mini-series'.

  • @Tippotipo No compromise had to be made because no movie had to be made. That's what I'm saying. A Clockwork Orange was a masterpiece because Stanley Kubrick gave passionate creative input. Tolkien's novels don't lend themselves to adaptation, so every attempt seems to amount to: "how can we get around what Tolkien wrote so we can make a moderately watchable movie without pissing anyone off and without shooting the pacing to shit?" It doesn't help that Jackson went George Lucas kind-of-crazy.

  • @EatMyPwn

    Oh please, let it go. The movie version of Lord of The Rings especially the extended one did very well by capturing the essence of the book: the ring is a threat. Here in this animated version, the feel is rushed, Gandalf holding the One Ring without feeling then feared when Frodo tend to him ruined the threatening feeling of One Ring. All description in a book will not well translate in the movie so compromise had to be made. LOTR is thousand pages remember?

  • Gandalf is twisted and scary in this movie.
