Good, but shit compared to the other two.

third and final film in the Lord of the Rings trilogy

longest

whats it like to be loved by a woman lads?

Most epic.

Fellowship is the best overall film. Start to finish, it has the best editing and pacing of the entire trilogy.
TT has the best action sequences. Helms Deep, Riders of Rohan, Curse of Theoden.
Return has the best acting.

Worst

Feels like what existing is meant to be

The worst because it was meant to tie up all the loose ends, there was nothing new being introduced to us. Great flick nonetheless.

most emotional

Fellowship is the best though, you retard.

feels like shit

wish I was single again t b h

why does treebeard sound like gimli?

This. Other two are great but it’s no contest

happy thanksgiving white people

You know those fleeting moments of feeling like you have a place in the world? A general sense of accomplishment that people seem to congratulate you on. A reward for fitting in and achieving purpose. A blanket of comfort interspersed with flashes of happiness, the polar opposite to the malaise of depression. Of course that fades over time and is replaced by resentment and the burdens of real life. As it is with all things, love cannot exist with loss.

action-packed finale which had something for everyone, with huge battle scenes of enormous scope while also containing some of the most emotional, heart-breaking and suspenseful moments

Best conclusion to any trilogy

is the dullest

>reason to start the entire trilogy over again
Same as Spider-Man 3. Not as amazing as the first two but good enough to watch through to finish the story and provide the desire to watch the others all over again.

Depends on the woman.

They're all masterpieces obviously.
It really depends on my mood which one I want to watch. If I want comfy adventure and great pacing, I watch Fellowship. If I'm in the mood for watching horse-riding across vast beautiful plains and some slow but sure build-up with a tremendous pay-off (Helm's Deep) then I'll watch Two Towers. If I'm in the mood for huge armies clashing, shouting along with Theoden's pep talk at the Ride of the Rohirrim and seeing true bromance in the form of Sam going after Frodo, saving him, carrying him, and shedding tears as they lay there among the lava, crying at the ending and sitting in blissful happiness as I listen to Into The West, I watch RotK.

Wtf is wrong with you?! If you feel like watching lotr you start with Fellowship and watch the whole damn trilogy. This ain't The Matrix were talking about here or some other trilogy where the quality of the films fluctuate wildly.

Sure you can have your own personal ranking and favorite, but you still watch all 3 in order damnit.

Fellowship is the best extended edition. Flows flawlessly. Two Towers and Return of the King definitely have scenes that needed to be left out.

Not that I ever watch the theatrical versions anymore though

I would like a re-edit of TTT and RotK.
The EEditions contain a mix of shit and great extra scene.

So right now, the theatrical editions of TTT and RotK are the superior versions.

I always do a marathon of the EE around Christmas. But for the rest of the year I sometimes pick one I feel like watching. I know them back to back anyway and could recite the entire script of all three films. No need to watch all of Fellowship if I feel like watching Two Towers for Helm's Deep and the Last March of the Ents.

I'm probably in the minority here I admit, but sometimes I pick the one I want to watch at some point in time.
I enjoy all 8 Harry Potter films, but I don't force myself to watch the first five when I feel like watching the sixth film.

I like how FotR leads into the Concerning Hobbits, the EE drags it out just a bit too much. Also showing Isildur using the ring kind of ruins it when Bilbo and Frodo put it on. At least for those scenes, theatrical is better for first time watchers.

Everything you dreamed of, although you will still hate yourself

Theatrical is better for first, second, and maybe even third time watches for all three movies. The pacing completely goes to shit in them. They're only good for when you just want to turn off your brain and live in middle earth for 4 hours. Theatrical versions are much more engrossing and technically competent

Return of the king is the most emotionally moving

Yeah, the edits and scene transitions work a bit stronger in Theatrical, whereas EE reveals more of the lore and backstory, allusions to the Silmarillion and such.

But it doesn't have the death of Boromir, the most emotionally moving scene in the trilogy.

Gay.

Sup Forumstards need to be purged

Granted, but it does have so many emotional Sam and Frodo moments
>I can't carry it for you, but I can carry you!
>I can't recall the taste of food, nor the sound of water, nor the touch of grass.
>I'm glad to be with you Samwise Gamgee, here at the end of all things.
>the moment they both accept their deaths after their quest was done

>Return of the King is the...

...cheesiest

And I would say Fellowship is both the comfiest and best.

>Return of the King is the...

most bloated.

And they fucked the ghosts up, fucking Ajax® Spray n' Wipe®

I had no idea people still watched the theatrical versions. Sure, the pacing suffers slightly from time to time in the EE, but there's some great scenes in there that shouldn't have been deleted or shortened.
Once you've seen the trilogy in its theatrical release, there's no real reason not to always go for the EE for a rewatch. Every extra minute spent in glorious Middle-Earth is worth it.

Amazing until it's inevitably over, then it hurts like hell. Basically opium.

Mordor volcano is 11/10 all the way

Bags of sand.

I've never watched the theatrical cut since I saw it in theaters, and I've never felt the EE had pacing problems. No matter how often I've watched them I'm still totally engrossed, going to New Zealand is definitely on my bucket list now.

FotR >> RotK >>>>TT

Return of the King is the one that ruined cherry tomatoes for me

most satisfying. rotk is one big nut after the handjob of the last two films.

>that eating scene

always makes me hungry desu

First time I saw that scene I was disgusted at Stuart's table manners. Later viewings made me realize the symbolism of him eating like a pig, the cherry tomatoes splitting like the blood of the soldiers he sent to their deaths with every sloppy bite.
But these days the scene just makes me hungry and I pause and roast some chicken, get some baked bread and a plate of cherry tomatoes.

This orc always ruins the mood of the Ride of the Rohirrim with the stupid fucking noise he makes.Apart from that ROTK in amazig.

>turn your brain off
>muh pacing

literally kys

This.

There's definitely a few scenes that are oddly placed and really jarring.

Specifically eowyn suddenly teleporting to a bed being watched over by eomer. My girlfriend was like wait, did I miss something here?

It has its ups and downs. Sometimes she won't be quiet and just talks and talks about work stuff that I couldn't give less of a shit about. Then I'll complain about how there aren't any good history books on the Chechen civil war, and she clearly won't be listening to me.

It's pretty great the rest of the time though.

beginning of Jackson's reliance on CGI. He's a hack, and got lucky with the first two. Everything else he has made is fucking terrible. Frighteners can fuck off.

I'm never quite sure if I'm either wearing nostalgia goggles or that the CGI in LotR actually still holds up.
Balrog still looks great. Ents appear real and aren't jarring. Charge scenes mostly still look real. There's maybe one or two shots during Pelennor Fields with the Oliphants that look off but apart from that the decade-old trilogy still looks great. Put it this way, I hardly every go "well that's outdated" or "that's just shit", and this trilogy is 14-16 years old now.

Judging by the behind the scenes stuff it seems like they had a substantial amount of production crew talent at almost every level. Having those guys work on all of it instead of being able to farm out 75% of it to "streamlined" Chinese CGI sweatshops probably made a substantial difference.

>You know those fleeting moments of feeling like you have a place in the world? A general sense of accomplishment that people seem to congratulate you on. A reward for fitting in and achieving purpose.
no

You sound pretty xenophobic. Afraid of a little cultural enrichment?

They did take their sweet time in pre and post production and it shows. Talent and passion went into it.
Same with Davy Jones from PotC, still some of the best CGI today and that was done around the same time I think.

I thought I was the only one who had this dilemma, glad someone can share my frustration.

>not considering The Lord of the Rings one film in three parts

Reminder that if you weren't doing your part in bringing your high school football teammate to the championships and having reckless unprotected sex when these movies were coming out, then you're a total soy boy.

Is there a more comfy soundtrack?

salty bags of sand

Can you faggots go to /r9k/ with this shit? Jesus christ.

Anyways, FOTR is the best. I honestly like TT the least out of them all

This guy gets it, it's pretty much built in mind of being one big film that was made all at once.

>the most emotionally moving scene in the trilogy.
"You kneel for no one."

The most emotionally moving scene in the trilogy is either:

or:

Not an argument.

You now remember how easily the Mouth's head just falls off his neck outside the Black Gates

...epic

Return of The King is the most grimdark. Frodo fulfills his task at the expense of his life.

thread over. pack it up.
