To be honest, the Gandalf in LOTR Animated Dubbed Over is the best Gandalf EVER!!!
-
To be fair, Aragorn not being kingly until the end was part of his arc. He didn't even want to be king.

*Return of the King ends*
"I said if I COMMAND you,Smeagul!"

I've seen them both. The animated one is alright, but the Jackson one wins by HUNDREDS of miles. Each character is better fleshed-out (I dunno what he's talking about when he says that Boromir is just sort of there -- his struggle is one of the most emotional, heartbreakingly intense I've ever seen), the story draws you in more, the visuals are FANTASTIC, and as a bonus, the score is the best I've ever heard. The winner is obvious.

7:15 well yeah you moron do a little research before you run your mouth. The whole point of the Jackson Aragorn is that once he learned his heritage he was consistently overwhelmed by this sense of failure. Isildur had failed and he was not sure if he had that same weakness that allowed Isildur to save the Ring. That was one of the greatest triumphs of Aragorn, he overcame his own shortcomings and was able to lead Gondor and Rohan to victory agaisnt Sauron.

I didn't mind Jackson's Frodo being weak in the 2nd and 3rd ones because the ring was weighing down on him much more, which made Sam's character shine even more as his comrade on the battlefield. While in the 1st one, Frodo didnt really have any kind of courage compared to Bakshi's one.

Why even bother doing this? The Baskshi movie was a total cluster fuck of animation and was emotionally flat. You never really felt any sense of urgency or drama, even when characters lives were in danger. The only thing I liked about it was its dark atmosphere but even then I am pretty sure there was meant to be some variation in tone in the books, and this movie just didn’t have it. It found dark and stuck with dark. Even the animated movies with the annoying lute player are better than this.

You can tell the Critic is grasping at straws, trying to do whatever he can to make this Vs. actually...competitive.

I still prefer Peter Jackson's Aragorn, he's still one of the most awesome characters ever in a movie.
personally i think the peter jackson version of Frodo Baggins is a lot more realistic. i mean, yes, he may seem too vulnerable. but if you were being chased around by cloaked monsters with a ring of absolute evil possessing you, YOU WOULD BE THAT VULNERABLE TOO! especially if before than youve never been in any sort of battle!

You people who call the Elijah Wood Frodo a wimp are clearly not understanding something. Frodo was entirely out of his element by being out of the shire, thrust into peril and battle, and having a Dark ring of power around his neck possessing him. Peter Jackson's Frodo was much more realistic and believable. And it's entirely understandable why his journey to Mordor was so taxing on him.
