Every fucking day I'm in awe of this trilogy, the simple setup, the simple hero's journey, meet with heroes, "destroy the ring", take the journey, change the world, its goddamn perfect, its about time for another rewatch soon, but god I wish they still made trilogies like this, everything went right for LOTR, this is the definition of good cinema

>>213092729 (OP)
Is there a novelization of the movie, I'd buy it in a second.

>>213092729 (OP)
it has to be said that the third act is a little weak, but its basically the finest trilogy ever made. I even rate it above the first three star wars films.

>>213092818
There is but it’s fanfic slop, don’t bother

>>213092832
it's officially /tv/'s #1

>>213093140
I'm surprised Cornetto and the good bad and the ugly trilogies aren't here

>>213093140
>>213093258
yeah wtf
cornetto if it counts should be on there

>>213093258
read the small text under the title

>>213092729 (OP)
The first one was notoriously better. A lot of cheating and cutting corners on the two sequels. PJ himself somewhat confesses that on the behind the scenes production movies.

>>213093258
not real trilogies

>>213092729 (OP)
These movies are boring as shit

>>213092729 (OP)
1 > 2 > 3
3 is the weakest, and despite that it's STILL better than the vast majority of movies that have been released since

>>213092832
>I even rate it above the first three star wars films.
I even rate it above the Ep. I - III of the Star Wars films.

>>213092729 (OP)
The first movie is truly exceptional, it feels genuinely mythical. It's so beautiful and inspiring. Second and third are a little off totally at times and the locations aren't quite as good imo, but there are still some really good parts. Theoden really helps make stuff feel dramatic and emotional

This is probably my favorite scene in the whole trilogy. The way it really zeroes in on the central theme of sacrifice and temptation in this very intimate and sad moment and then Aragorn immediately walks into the sea of oncoming orcs is just so good

>>213093328
zoomer moment

>Second place is a trilogy with only 1 good film

>>213093665

>no Dollars trilogy
shit list

>>213092729 (OP)
I hate that these movies were made in the brown and bloom ages. I guess I'm also thankful it wasn't made today otherwise it'd be full of genderfluid niggers lecturing whitey

>>213093753
it's not a real trilogy

>>213093140
following the 'Star Trek trilogy' logic there, there are a fuckton of better 'trilogies' than all of these.

>>213093746
Trying too hard. TESB is almost as good as the first one.

>>213093887
name any

>>213093947
Sherlock Holmes trilogy (Rathbone)
James Bond trilogy
Gilliam's 'Imagination' trilogy

>>213094066
grim

>>213094087
this is a list that begins with the Lord of the Rings films, anon. special effects adventure flicks for teenagers.

so i'll throw the 'Marvel trilogy' in there too :^)

>>213093917
TESB is the only good one numbnuts

>>213094105
grim

>>213093665
This is also one of the absolute peaks of the trilogy. Literally makes you want to go fight in a war lol

yeah it's good, but Star Wars is great. so that's TWO good-or-better films, regard.

>>213092729 (OP)
only the first one is great, the rest is good

>>213092729 (OP)
I'll never forgive that anon who made the "imagine these made today" comment some years ago and made me think what they would be like... pure nightmare material.

>>213092729 (OP)
I fell asleep watching Fellowship

You know it's fucking gold when even the stuff they cut from the theatrical editions is better than 99% of your average films these days.

Jesus fucking christ watch more movies retard. Blockbusters aren't the be-all, end-all.

>>213093311
I think PJ was too hard on himself for The Two Towers, especially in its extended edition. It was brilliant.
The third movie, yeah, was spotty. It's another siege movie. I blame Tolkien for that.

>>213094850
>But why didn't Frodo mumble something in Italian and then stare off into space while we spin the camera around three times?!?!
