More of Tolkien's precious dialogue. Note to Peter Jackson: CGI monsters are a poor substitute for dialogue and proper continuety of events. Clip from Return of the King (1980) by Rankin-Bass.

  • You know, for a second there I thought the Witch King was a pretty intimidating villain, what with the black armor and floating crown and evil-looking red lights. Then he talked.

  • 0:27 ...and the Witch-King's menace is instantly deflated.

  • wut is this? jews vs asians?

  • Looks like freaking anime. Especially Eowyn.

  • How pissed do you think the writers and animators were when they found out that everyone involved with the audio for this movie (the composers, musicians, sound-effects guys, and voice-actors) just COMPLETELY dropped the ball?

  • Actually, Novuso, you WOULD be right. If the voice actors for the Witch King and half a dozen other characters didn't suck so completely. I mean, seriously, this was getting PRETTY bloody cool at the beginning, and then the Witch King turned out to be Skeletor in disguise. It's like they didn't even think to hire someone with a deep voice for this.

    That said, I really did enjoy the animated version of The Hobbit. But the VA sucked there too.

  • J.R.R. Tolkien is rolling in his grave because of you!!!!!! This movie is the outcome of a guy getting high, reading the Lord of the Rings, and then having enough money to make his drug dream of the Return of the King! By the way, what's with Eowyn's sword

  • Who the hell thought it was a good idea to let Skeletor play the Witch King?

  • Proper continuity of events = +1 point. Good use of Tolkien's dialogue = +1 point. Reliance on source material = +1 point. Making the Witch King of Angmar sound like Commander Cobra = -3 points.

  • Skeletor?

  • Holy crap, this is awful.

  • Do they ever explain why the swords don't make contact and instead make zappy lights/noises, other than to keep it kid-friendly?
