John Hurt's Aragorn is better than Viggo Mortensen. Viggo is good but he's a lot more mopey than book Aragorn. John Hurt is like "gently caress that poo poo, I know what I want and I am absolutely confident in myself."

Only a man with that much charisma could pull off the no-pants look.

Also this movie takes so many lines verbatim from the books it's great.

I like that John hurt aragorn is allowed to be happy and not have the weight of reposnibility weigh him down. He can take a joke and laugh right before he gives you an epic speech and tells you go get angry

Gandalf is like an insane hobo in this movie and it rocks. Also nice, they used the Alan Lee depiction of the Doors of Durin.

Can someone give me the spoilers and tell me if Aragorn ever gets a pair of pants? Dude is a king, his kingdom can’t be that hard up.

Short answer: No. Kings don't wear pants in this movie.

The Rankin Bass Return of the King has the baller Orc marching song and the Witch King of Angmar is played by Skeletor.
