When you're midway through a rewatch and realize it's still one of the best kinos ever produced

You fool, the ghost army was a level 99 unlock. Only Aragorn could command those ghosts because of his bloodline, and he could only command them when he finally grew enough as a character to have that self-confidence and respect for himself to accept his role as king. It's a kino moment you unlettered.

Should’ve kept the ghosts being only used against the corsairs.

>tfw i lost disc 2 of my ROTK

I seriously don't get how people can watch this annually
they're good movies and all but I saw them several times like fifteen years ago and still feel I need to wait a while before picking them up again

Anyone else feel that the appendices really dipped in quality as they went on though? It felt like they through all their best material into the Fellowship of the Ring set and then had to draw on the scraps when putting the others together.

Fellowship extended version is a masterpiece, nothing will top it. Deal with it. Return of The King is boring as hell.

that ghost army was fucking gay though

Oh, I meant I thought it was over after The Two Towers. Flooding Isengard just made me feel so good I guess.

How is ghost army different from Gandalf coming back with infinity new troops? They're both deus exes.

Once watched all the extended versions in a row. Not something that anyone should do. Not worth it.

I have it on a semi-annual basis, along with the old The Stand TV made-for-tv kino and Star Wars. Never watch more than 1 a year, but I usually watch 1 a year.

I can't even watch them anymore. I love these films, but I'm sick of them. Thinking about them, looking at screenshots and listening to the soundtrack still feels great, but I watched them so many times now that I can't even force myself through the first film. Feels bad.

Fellowship is easily the best one, no cringy meme fight moments and absolutely soaked in aesthetic

There was massive applauding when I first saw it in theaters from a packed house. It was very satisfying.

no they're not. we've seen the encounter of the trio with the banished loyal men of theoden with eomir earlier on. you're seriously comparing that with fucking ghosts?

Bad/goofy CGI and Legolas wanking are its biggest flaws.

Fellowship is the best and I'll tell you why.
When Frodo encounters Gandalf on the road to Bag End, the audience is walking into the middle of a very old friendship which they have no connection to. The very first words we hear between the two are almost an inside joke. Frodo isn't really accusing Gandalf for being late, and Gandalf really doesn't believe that wizards are "never late." They hold back their laughter, and in those fifteen seconds the audience already feels like they've known these two forever. That's just how good the actors are, and that's just how good the setting up is for understanding the relationships between the members of the Fellowship.
It's easy to take for granted how well we know almost each character individually by the time they team up into the Fellowship, but under a lesser filmmaker the audience would be confused about who's who and what makes each character special by that point. There's a distinctly human element that's absent from the next two movies, which are mostly focused on chugging the plot along and wowing you with the expensive computer effects. But Fellowship is character-focused and really feels like these little hobbits are struggling to make it in a very big world - Sam can't even swim to Frodo's canoe. That's a whimsicality lost in the other two.

I just can't think of ROTK as a bad or disappointing movie because the entire end of the movie from when the ring gets destroyed until the credits is an 11/10.

It’s just Yea Forums being retarded. It was a fulfilling ending to a great trilogy, which is not easy to do. Just ask a Game of Thrones how its ending went and it mostly just aped LOTR.

do you have part of your brain missing or something?

Possibly the worst feel ever

They both end the battle anticlimactically by one of the main characters showing with thousands of reinforcements just when all hope was lost. So yes.

>this one opinion I disagree with is so Reddit!

What it comes down to is the same flaw as the books, the beginning promised what the conclusion couldn't satisfy. Fellowship was the best book and the best movie, and the rest was asspulls

the worst thing about the trilogy is peter jackson's adhd manchild understanding of the medium. "look at this cool thing! feel something in response to this closeup! here, i'll constantly move the camera even in wide shots so you don't fall asleep!" the second worst thing is how fucked many of the most admirable characters were. Faramir's a loser still working through his daddy issues in his 30s, are you fucking serious? that's only the most egregious one. a lot of the more interesting themes go unexplored as well. shouldn't have expected female tolkien fans to get what it was actually about. rest of it is pretty great though

Underrated. What you said falls into the category of "you may not have noticed it, but your brain did".

Other kinos that have this?
