Before: Star Wars

After: Still LOTR

>Before
Willow is excellent.
>After
Who cares?

Disregarding Star Wars id say Krull. Willow is good too. Conan is also great.

Best fantasy after LOTR is LOTR obviously.

>What was the best fantasy film before LOTR

Excalibur

Warcraft

the princess bride

honestly i can't think of any great ones since LOTR. i guess it would have to be one of the harry potters.

willow and conan are excellent choices of course

Not counting animated.
>Before
Willow probably. Can't really think of many worthwhile fantasy movies. Hell can't think of many apart from LOTR that are worthwhile period, the fantasy movie genre has really been quite shared.
>After
Stardust or Pan's Labyrinth, if that counts as fantasy.

Before: Legend
After: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1

>before
Conan
>after
Hobbit, although it's bad

To this day nothing holds a candle to LOTR

Before: Dragonslayer or Excalibur
After: Black Death

Warcraft according to german reviews

>hobbit
>best fantasy film after LOTR
The only thing the hobbit excelled at was being shit.

Alfrid is the key to all of this

ITT FUCKING PLEBS

you are alright

I wouldn't even really consider Black Death to be a "fantasy" film, just a medieval one, but it does have a witch who pulls part of her face off and casts a spell, so whatever.

I watched Excalibur for the first time probably last year and it's since become one of my favorite movies.

Before: Conan or Excalibur

After: Literally fuckall

>Warcraft
WAIT TILL YOU SEE THE

my niggas

>Warcraft

It's the only fantasy film that came out after LOTR.
How about you give us your "best after LOTR" ?

>replying to b8

there was really only Conan

Excalibur being based on a legend i wouldnt really count as fantasy.

>before
The Never Ending Story

>after
Pan's Labyrinth

>after

GAME OF THRONES

The fantasy is the worst thing about GoT though.

willow
fury road

I can't even imagine the world before LotR where there wasn't a definitive excellent fantasy movie

>sorcery and magic
>not fantasy
Even if it is a legend, it's presented in as a mythical fantasy

it's now " for over 75 years "

Fury road is post apocalyptic / diesel punk

>legend of fucking King Arthur
>not fantasy

Nigga it's THE fantasy

jesus this board

>starring: robert downhere jr. as mario
kek

Post yfw you'll see a shitty remake of LOTR in your lifetime

Me when anybody puts down Excalibur.

>Laverne Cox as Aragorn

That movie is bad, really bad.
The girl is hot as fuck, Deathdealer is cool but absolutely unused. Story is rushed.
Damn shame, cause the art is good.
LOTR the animated movie is better choice altought it's also bad. It had a special place in my heart as a kid, but it aged bad.

If you dont say Conan for before you are completely fucking retarded

Gimli without beard like dwarves in Hobbit
Transgenders, Blacks, Asians and other minorities cast in numerous roles including lead ones

I fucking doubt it. I'd be fine if it was animated though.

Before: Willow
After: American sniper

Before: Legend
After: Still LOTR really. Never got the same feels from what I got from LOTR for anything else

>Willow is excellent.
mah nigga!

Probably the original Conan, or "The Beastmaster"

before:Conan

after:i honestly dont know..

For fuck sake, everyone posted conan, why do i check only OPs post
OP is always an faggot

this type of pic is probably most overused setup in fantasy(1970-2000), muscle guy with almost naked lady at his knee, he has some falusoid weapon, and hordes of enemies are coming.

I honestly think even Star Wars has one.

A horrible prophecy has been fortold

Ghibli studio animated LOTR, all the stuff from books.
Budget: 10^9 $
Release date: 2030
It would take to animate it as long as it did to write it. Probably longer

There are LITERALLY no good fantasy films besides Lord of the Rings (and by fantasy I mean medieval fantasy).

Had anyone saw The Labyrint with David Bowie,
I remember it as a kid, it was kinda dark fantasy?!
but conan is still better , also animated LOTR had better Orc March song

>quads off by one

Axe is not a phallusoid weapon, it cleaves, it doesn't penetrate per se

>Before
Conan The Barbarian
>After
Still Conan

GOT

>starring an all-female cast
>Emma Watson as Aragorna
>Amy Schumer as Legolass
>Leslie Jones as Gimlia
>John Boyega as Armen (elf prince and Aragorna's love interest)
>Morgan Freeman as Gandalf
>Adam Driver as Saruman

Directed by JJ Abrams, coming summer of 2025

Before: Heart of the Dragon
After: Stardust.

Before: Dragonslayer.
After: Nothing yet has rivaled LOTR.

LEGEND DC IS STILL GOSU FANTASY.

excalibur
nothing really

>inb4 redditors crying "b-but SW is science fiction"

No you fuckers its not. Its fantasy in space.

Before: lotr animated
After: Dungeons and Dragons

>Dungeons & Dragons (2000) - IMDb
nice one retard

>morgan freeman
>alive in 2025
Don't kid yourself man

It is literally that which all modern western fantasy is based upon.

Nigga you dumb.

...

I like dragonheart

>legolass
kek

>Willow

Medieval Star Wars?

> Before
Thundercats
> After
Thundercats

Yeah, I watched it recently and the entire final act is anticlimactic as fuck. Every attempt to stop the ice-faggot fails and then Deathdealer just goes in and singlehandedly slaughters everyone with an axe.
I feel like the movie is so stupidly simple it's almost deep.

>LOTR the animated movie is better choice altought it's also bad.
I like the beginning

>Defending the Hobbit
k

What videogame is this from?

early alpha of sotc

>What was the best fantasy film before LOTR?
Dragonslayer
>What was the best fantasy film after LOTR?
Dragonslayer

>before
Conan
>after
Still Conan

When the fuck is arnold going to finish his new conan movie.
I want to see the old fucker slicing people with giant swords and shit.

before: Excalibur
after: Warcraft

You mean shittier than the last one?

>actual image from Desolation of Smaug

does it only have to be features? because that black angel short film is pretty fucking cool

Feels like the LOTR films were made just in time.

However I still can't get over how much the first film overshadows the second and third films.

Before: Conan The Barbarian
After: ???

Dynasty Warriors 6

(farts)

Fantasy is a horrible genre anyway

It's perfectly suited for children's novels and video games, but not in movies. They need something more than the same old fantasy tripes over and over and over again

This is why Warcraft will fail. We already know what it's about. Knights in shining armor and the orcish muh people in big trouble are going to overcome the bad guys in the end.

underrated post

This. I nominate Legend as well. Absolutely great film.

my nigga

Before: Army of Darkness
After: ???

>fantasy in space

so, science fiction?

Just watched it. Explain it to me, please. I genuinely didn't get any of the symbolism in it.

I don't think you know what science fiction means.

Fuck yes.

LOOK INTO THE EYES OF THE DRAGON AND DESPAIR

>Before
Excalibur

>After
TBA still

>WELL WHAT IS IT

Fire and Ice is great. It doesn't need a good story or good speech (although it would be better with those) it is an amazing movie with amazing animation and atmosphere.

>THE WORDS SAY THE WORDS

Has there ever been a more hype sequence before a battle?

Before: Star Wars for sure.
After: Stardust/SW:VII
