Impact Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 Which yeah to my understanding they were not that great.
CoolioD1 Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 It wasn't that bad. The depiction of Sam in it pisses me off though.
Ariadne Posted November 20, 2011 Posted November 20, 2011 Yeah, I saw this when I was a kid. Loved it at the time, it's so annoying that it stops half way through though.
Impact Posted November 26, 2011 Author Posted November 26, 2011 Wow, intresting...(I still think the Ballad of Bilbo Baggins should be in The Hobbit)
Impact Posted November 26, 2011 Author Posted November 26, 2011 Darn you! That song is in my head now
egoplant Posted December 11, 2011 Posted December 11, 2011 I saw The Hobbit, will eventually get around to watching the two Lord Of The Rings ones. The Hobbit wasn't very good.
phillip Posted January 14, 2012 Posted January 14, 2012 haha i saw this when i was a kid, didn't help this movie that i saw the peter jackson one a month later.
pinocchio Posted January 14, 2012 Posted January 14, 2012 Bakshis animated movie can be seen on German TV from time to time. It's interesting to see the things Jackson borrowed from that flick. Not as big as John Howes influence, but stlll...
JamesFord92 Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 Remember liking this and The Hobbit as a kid, but I can barely remember anything about them other than the animation style. Time for a re-watch I think.
CloneWars Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 I watched the first 45 mins of LOTR. The pacing seems so bad after watching the LOTR trilogy so many times. And, the animation gets annoying at times.
IndustriousAngel Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 Bakshi's "LotR" suffers from the same problems as most of his films: The quality is extremely varying from scene to scene. It just doesn't look like a finished product - some scenes work while others are barely sketches. The same can be observed in "Fritz the Cat", "Wizards" and "Cool World". All those films look rushed, unfinished, incomplete ... as creative as Bakshi was, sadly he never had the discipline to see his projects through to the end. The "best" Bakshi film is still "Fire and Ice" - at least the quality of the animation is congruent from scene to scene, even if it's a lousy script.On the other hand, some of the scenes in "LotR" worked really well and had a magical touch, and they got me interested in Tolkien. I was 11 when it came out here and became so interested that they gave me "The Hobbit" as a christmas present the same year.
Lumos Posted June 11, 2012 Posted June 11, 2012 I watched about 5min and wasn't too impressed. All i remember was that gollum looked like a brown blob....
