Decisive leader, does not defer to women

Not the person you're replying to, but obviously Helm's Deep. It would have been a hell of a lot better if good old Hackson hadn't fucked around with the plot for literally no reason and not bothered nonsensically adding the elves into the fight. It should have been Helm Hammerhand and the Huorns that swung the fight.

That is a very safe opinion.

It's hard to be as good as Fellowship as a whole but the last hour of Return of the King is great.

Fuck I'm a shithead, I meant Erkenbrand of course, not Helm fucking Hammerhand. It's been years since I've read these books, sorry

>Which was the better battle? Helms Deep or Minas Tirith?
Helm's Deep for the danger. Minas Tirith for the sheer scale. Black Gate for the emotion.

Helm's Deep.

viggo is so wrong as aragorn

TTT has the best battles,FOTR hs the best sense of adventure and boromir's death.
ROTK is the end of the story but not that good.

Helms Deep was tense and focused, but Minas Tirith has plenty of variety with many players involved. Orcs, Easterlings, The Witch-King, and Oliphants versus Gondorians, ghosts, and the Rohirrim.

Fellowship is indeed the comfiest of the trilogy. It has a sense of normalcy with the Shire and the taverns before the orcs started chimping out.

>blonde haired warriors carrying the day
That just won’t fly, my man :^)

He only fit the aragorn when half his face was covered

And the trend continues with the hobbit movies going full 'lol embellishment'

Helm's Deep in the movies, no question. The oliphaunts were too bug, the ghosts trivializing the army of Mordor was retarded. (theyre supposed to just svare off the Corsair reinforcements, which admittedly was critical to the battle & otherwise Minas Tirith would have been overrun)
In the books, Theoden's last charge gives me chills.

yeah he's ok as strider. at least until he stands up.
as aragorn he doesn't look the part at all and it's even worse when you hear his voice

He was great as Strider tho.
Big part of why FotR was the best one.

>as aragorn he doesn't look the part
dunedain are suposed to look like some kind of hobos but with dignity and a sad look on the eyes.
I think Vigo was great.

Can’t really have someone change from roguish vagabond to holy warrior king
There isn’t a face in the world that could do Aragorn justice. Vig was a great strider

Sean Bean should have been Aragorn.

viggo's an excellent actor i just think it's miscast. i'm pretty much with but maybe it's hindsight

But then they would have had to kill off Aragorn in the first movie, user.

Marxists/Fat pedophile fantasy writers hate this guy because he's a white dude who achieves his goals, fulfills his destiny, and defeats the hordes of hell. It gives little kids someone to look up to and emulate, and they can't stand it because they want everyone just as evil, cynical, and pozzed as them.

well,he becomes king after 50 years of fighting wars and eating like shit, and sleeping in the countryside in the middle of nowhere.
its ok if he looks wasted even as a high king.

>for literally no reason
Horse shit. Listen to the commentary why haven't you already you plebeian faggot.
He did it because he knew the audience was going to be saying some stupid shit like "Durrr what are da elbes doing this whole time!"
Seriously, the writer and director commentary track has Jackson explaining his reasoning behind the major deviations. The only one he says he regrets was having Faramir be tempted by the ring.
You don't have to like the decisions they made, but they were all well thought out and mostly changed for practical reasons.
I hate the ghost army saving the day, but I also understand why they didn't want to add in another 40 minutes introducing the grey company, and their march through southern gondor raising an army, then stealing a bunch of ships with spooks, and showing up at the last minute.
The same reason the scouring of the shire, despite being my favorite part of the entire series, had to get cut. The general audience was already complaining about how the ending was already too long.
These movies also had to be marketable as films that could stand on their own in a theater.

>i just think it's miscast.
Horse shit. Look at all the behind the scenes stories about him on set. He was more impressive and badass than the fictional character he portrayed.
Based Viggo.

the elves not fighting is a big point of LOTR,they are literally too tired because they are losing their magic powers and their age comes to an end and it becomes the men's world.
they only defend their territories and thats it.

My dad looked just like Viggo but I ended up looking like a potato-faced mutt
Feels bad

Helms Deep hands down.

The older my dad gets the more he looks like bill murray.

Cringe, but redpilled.

Hey guys, remember when Elf Surfing was the stupidest thing legolegs ever did on camera?
