I can't wait to see what Peter Jackson does with the 3D technology (people who are good filmmakers seem to know how to use it very well like Cameron, Scott, Spielberg) but goddaamn, how stupid do those loving things look.

It's like they somehow managed to fuse 80s special-education glasses with chem lab goggles and filter the entire thing through Middle-Earth. If Lord of the Rings never existed as a film franchise these would be the most supreme dork identifier since getting a tattoo of your Rolemaster character.

Geekboy posted:Just like Tolkien's WWI experiences had taught him that it's easier to die in the heroic quest than to live on afterwards (making the Hobbits live after their trek to Mount Doom was actually pretty revolutionary in terms of heroic fiction - and a much more brutal thing for the characters to deal with in many ways), it's the lingering pain and the otherness that the horrors of war instill on their survivors that are the real battle scars for all soldiers. The Houses of Healing were the weakest part of all that, but the need to show poor Frodo being unable to leave his experience behind him was 100% essential. I took it as a "You can never go home again" lesson. I grew up in a small town, joined the Marines, traveled the world, became a programmer at a global company, traveled the world again prior to Y2K checking their systems, married, had a kid, and finally moved back to where I grew up... and it has never felt the same. "Home," for me, was a memory. And The Shire was saved, but not for Frodo.

I think this is a straight up money grab. Two films would have been just fine. If the second film was going to be 3.5 hours, they can add an hour or so worth of stuff and turn that into two movies pretty easily. This was pointless and will not make things better, just more expensive.

I am pretty sure that Jackson is not doing it for the money, i don't think he would be doing this if he didn't think it would be a good idea, though that doesn't mean it is going to be good.

As I've said before...all movies are for the money. Pretending it's any different is silly. Of course, that doesn't mean one can't love making movies on top of making money. PJ is a great example of that when he finds material that sparks his interest (like Tolkien)

That's just silly and implies noone never ever do anything out of interest or love. Yeah, filmmaking is big business, but Jackson already has all the money he needs so I think he's doing this because he wants to. The studio on the other hand...

I'll give the studio the benefit of the doubt in one topic, in that if there is a natural ending to film 2 and the story works out better with Smaug ending the second film then I don't mind the third film. As long as the the possible suckitude is contained to the third film and it doesn't spread into the first two and the first two are relatively short like two hours or so, I think this could actually improve the first two and just leave the possibility of the third sucking. Which I'm fine with.

Yeah I can totally imagine Smaug's death having the same feeling as the end of the Pelennor Fields battle. It had been over two hours of non stop action and visual spectacle and you suddenly realized there's so much more to be done. Frodo isn't really all that close to Mt. Doom and there's still all of Mordor to worry about. Smaug's story comprising all of movie #2 works better for me than having his story begin and end AND THEN have a whole 'nother plot added on for another hour and a half.

I hope Jackson is a little more restrained/subtle with the CGI in these movies. The first LOTR had the perfect use of CGI and then it gets progressively worse through the rest of the series, some scenes in Return of the King are just straight up bad/groan inducing. King Kong suffers from this problem even more so it doesn't end there. Of course part of the problem is that Jackson handles so many CGI characters/scenes well that the flaws really stand out.

King Kong suffers from this problem even more so it doesn't end there. Of course part of the problem is that Jackson handles so many CGI characters/scenes well that the flaws really stand out. Film 1 is completely full of action scenes and encounters with various CG monsters, so Jackson will not be cutting back there. Film 2 is all about Smaug, an enormous CG showcase, and also probably an epic battle of Dol Guldur. Film 3 is mainly about a battle between five armies that will no doubt eclipse the Pelennor in complexity, and certainly variety of combatants. So, in conclusion, and with a rumoured budget that approaches a record-breaking $800 million, Jackson will not be going light on the CG. Not entirely sure what you mean when you say "restrained/subtle" - do you just mean well integrated, as opposed to rushed and badly composited? I'm pretty sure PJ has the budget this time to make sure it all looks good. Mr. Gibbycrumbles fucked around with this message at 12:29 on Aug 5, 2012 |

With the figures he makes for the movies it's hard to imagine it's not in some part about the money. Most of the time he looks pretty miserable on sets anyway

If he wanted money he would have accepted the job as director right away, it is not like he could have known that Del Toro would quit, and it also became obvious that there weren't really anyone else who could do it. Whenever you see one of those production videos it is clear that he loves making these movies.
