Imagine if Hollywood decided to remake LOTR and The Hobbit in the 2050s. That's be completely awful!  Any thoughts on how bad it would be?  It'd be as bad as a whale landing on your house and taking an explosive "you know what"  . |

In the beginning of the Fellowship of the Ring it says that 60 years has passed from the time Bilbo picked up the Ring in Gollums cave from up to when Gandalf arrives for his 11th birthday. So if in the Hobbit they knew that the enemy has returned and 60 years passed then what did they do all those years to stop the enemy. You're meaning to tell me it took 60 years for Sauron to recover...maybe that will clear up in the last hobbit movie to explain that more.

Edited the poll so the name of the last hobbit film was accurate. And kinda funny how when I first made that poll the second and third hobbit films weren't out yet but now the second is and the third is two weeks away But yeah, you can vote your favorite from each trilogy, or just whichever two you like best overall. Or just one if you go by the "One Film to Rule them all" philosophy. It's up to you |

Return of the King. The first two Hobbit films where good but not spectacular. This one will probably be the best for sure but probably not better than ROTK.

For me probably...
Return of the King
Fellowship
An Unexpected Journey
Desolation
Two Towers

I think my favorite is ROTK. After that DOS out ranks every other movie. DOS had a very colorful and adventurous atmosphere which I enjoyed. Anybody going to see part 3 on ththe first day? Every year me and my family go watch a movie on New Years eve so this will probably be the one on that night.

I love all these movies to death and i will never stop watching them.
I don't have a clear list with placeholders and such, but the only one i can say for sure is that Return of The King is my favorite Middle-Earth film and one of favorite films of all time.

Really not sure which film to choose as my third favorite. I voted FOTR, ROTK, and hesitantly DOS. Right now (and this may change), I'd rank them like this:
ROTK
FOTR
DOS
TTT
BOTFA
AUJ
Not sure about those last 4, but I guess that's how I'd rank them if I had to. So yeah,I put DOS higher because of Smaug. Plus the barrel scene was cool and Bilbo and Gandalf the Grey are awesome.

Wait, never mind, I can only choose 2. Definitely ROTK and FOTR then. |

If LOTR was made today, how many movies would it be?

If LOTR was made today, how many movies would it be? 6 lol it'd probably be two per book (or part if you want to be technical  ). But there were 6 parts/books to LOTR, so it's not that ridiculous, especially with the Hobbit being 3 films. |

I'd say that FOTR is probably the most re-watchable of the LOTR trilogy and possibly the entire saga.

IDK if anyone would be interested, but if there's enough fans of it, we could do comparisons between the LOTR films and books as well as the Hobbit films to the book (either as a whole or the chapters of the book pertaining to that movie). Then we could also do comparisons between the films as well (FOTR vs AUJ; etc). It could boost activity as well as provide us with more interesting discussions in general. We could also do it for other books turned into movies like the Hunger Games, Harry Potter, etc. for diversity. And if we were to do this, would it be in the same threads, or new ones?

I'd keep the same thread or discuss each topic on its own existing thread instead of a new one for each

Especially Book One, which I remember ended when Frodo is riding Glorfindel's horse and is saved by Elrond from the Nazgul, so you can see that the first Book is pretty much just set-up and wouldn't sell very well. |

I watched these movies for the first time last week and the week before that and I have to say that they are highly overrated. They are not bad movies... but I don't think they deserve the praise they get. But I think those hobbit movies are better, I mean Frodo is one of the most annoying main characters ever... but I did like Bilbo.

He sucked in the films but he was one of my favourite characters in the books, and you get to understand his thoughts in the book a lot better. It's not clear exactly what's going through him in the films which is why not many like him. |

Are there things in the LOTR book series that are not in the movies? I've seen all the movies for LOTR but haven't read the books. I've read the Hobbit, but I cant really compare books to movies for LOTR. I can for the Hobbit though.
There are a lot of things I which were in the Hobbit, little and big things that were in the book. I would have liked to see Bilbo talk to the Eagle as he did in the book when he was pinching the eagle to hard. He rode them but didnt talk them. I also pictured the Beorn seen different. The seen overall was pretty decent but I wish they would have done the one by one introduction for the dwarves at Beorns house, to see him get fustrated as in the book. Instead of a chase scene. But more than anything, the Five armies battle, i was hoping it would have been the Goblins attacking not Sauron. There are a few more as well but it was still an enjoyable series none the less.

Definately better than Frodo. |

Overall, the LOTR movies stayed fairly true to the book (which is why they were much, much better than The Hobbit films). A few changes include what they did to Frodo's character, and Arwen didn't save Frodo in the book.. oh, and Faramir. One of the best characters in the books who was ruined the same way Frodo was in the films. Also, Beregond wasn't in the films, and he was a nice character... and the Scouring of the Shire, where Saruman takes over the Shire after he loses Isengard. I loved those chapters but they weren't in the film. |

The scouring of the shire o knew about because it was ina videogame but it would still be neat to see what happens. So you mean he took it over as his new base? Then that would mean the whole Ent attack may have happened but Saruman muat have escaped the feom treebeards gaurd. |

The Ents still attacked Isengard, but they released him and Grima. |

Obviously they knew he was still dangerous, I would have kept him prisoner safely somewhere to ensure no other conflicts. I'm sure it explains why though. |

The Ents aren't the brightest, anyway. |

Any thoughts on how bad it would be?

it’s been quite a while. I’ve been pretty good, how about yourself?
