I just got finished watching the old animated version of Lord of the Rings. That movie was by far the WORST movie I have ever seen in my life. I think the orc animations half the time were actual people, just blurred out.
The lines throughtout the movie were often left out or incorrect. The voice actors (with the exception of Frodo, Strider, and Galdalf)were simply horrible. The mannerisms of the characters were often strange and unnatural, and I don't like how they made Samwise look like a effeminate toothless goon.
Gollum was like...weird. Maybe it was good acting...or maybe it was just...weird. One part where he kisses Frodo's feet, he actually sounds like he's aroused. Then, to add insult to injury, the movie didn't even go all the way to the very end, even though it had already skipped halfway through TTT. The Treebeard scene was like two seconds and then they seemed to forget all about him.
It had been my idea to rent the movie and I watched it with my my mom, dad, two brothers, and my two sisters. After it was done everyone looked at me like I was crazy. My mom was like,
"This is the kind of thing you like?"
My, GOD. I'm am so glad PJ redeemed Tolkien, because...DEAR GOD, that was bad. I think PJ actually took the few good elements of that film and put it into his movies. I would recommend it to someone that knew the series very well and wanted a good laugh/cry.
I didn't think movies got that bad. Then again, I don't watch that many.
Funny stuff:
1. Frodo's dance at the prancing pony.
2. Anything Gollum did.
3. The Council of Elrond
4. The way Stridr and Legolas looked.
5. The fact that Gimli was almost as tall as Strider and Legolas.
6. The orcs. Funny stuff.
7. All the stuff they got wrong.
WATCH THAT MOVIE, IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY.
