I know, I can't fathom how someone could think those masterpieces have aged poorly. If anything, they have aged like a fine Scottish whisky.

I literally just watched the extended versions last weekend and couldn't fathom how good they still are. This guy is brain dead .

The non-cgi baddies look so good and better than any of of those cgi baddies everywhere today.

At least he's smart enough to know the first film is the best

This scene is so hilarious. Especially Bob Sagets(RIP) bit. Lol.

I just rewatched the matrix yesterday. It's almost better the longer it sits. It's like the perfect capture of 2000s cool, never repeated or matched, with great but campy effects and masterful pacing. So no argument about lotr but it's definitely not the only one.

This is not an unpopular opinion, this is rage bait

Most unpopular opinion, well done

You would think they would remaster them and rerelease them. Seems like an easy way to make a killing
by Anonymous1 week ago
That's actually a great idea. I don't usually approve of remasters these days, but LotR would definitely benefit a ton.

I don't really like any of the stuff with Gollum, that's my main issue with the trilogy. I find him annoying and not that interesting. That's why the first one is the best. But helms deep is probably best sequence in the whole trilogy.
by Anonymous1 week ago
I agree entirely. Helm's deep is an amazing sequence.

One does not simply bash lotr!

Ugh I just wish people would stay away from CGI when they make these complaints. It's like terminator 2 hasn't aged well because when he turns into the metallic liquid it looks awful. Well it was groundbreaking at the time. You have to watch CGI for the time it's in. Also I think your version or audio is busted? Mine sounds awesome in those moments
by Anonymous1 week ago
Except T2 has aged well and the CGI still looks excellent, you're the first person I've ever heard say otherwise.
by Anonymous1 week ago
Going to have to agree to disagree here. I mean it looks ok, so does LOTR but I really don't think say the scene where terminator goes through the flames and is in full metallic would hold up today at all

That is because the second and third movies are two movies in one. One of them is good to great and the other is mediocre.

You really start to see the seeds of the hobbit planted in TTT (still a bonkers movie though), and it's sprouted in ROTK.

Blasphemy!

I suppose this meets the definition of unpopular opinion, because it's literally the opposite of reality. Well done?
by No-Roof-49391 week ago
I highly disagree. Just rewatched then recently and they def hold up and the cgi is better than a lot of the garbage out today.

This could also be said of Star Wars. If you're old enough and you watch the film when it first came out it had everyone spellbound, some kid in your school sat through it 30 times over the weekend. If you watch it again the original episode it looks cheap, and the special effects are dated. You can see the acting is, well, not very good. I actually don't understand how they've gotten the mileage out of the series, because it's been worn out for a long time. Somewhat like The Simpsons, The Legend goes after season 9 everything fell apart.. everyone will even pinpoint the episode where Principle Chalmers has his flashback..

Interesting opinion, I watched it last year, and couldn't fault it. Still the only movie I consider a 10/10.
by Anonymous1 week ago
I mean I agree, the Balrog was fantastic, and still holds up well in the first film. The CGI fight with CGI Gandalf, was......not so good.

You are pointing to the most banal things

Nailed unpopular opinion perfectly. CGI is a bad way describe if a movie aged well. Acting, script, cultural zeitgeist is much more reasonable. Ghostbusters is a good example of the effects/CGI being badly outdated but loved. It aged badly because everything would be canceled now.

Wow this is an awful take lmao

Just did a rewatch still holds up for me

I watched the trilogy a week ago and was just as blown away as I was every other time I watched it. Definitely an unpopular opinion op. Well done.
by Anonymous1 week ago
It's goddamn 20 years old man.
by Anonymous1 week ago
I generally don't like them but I think this is a weird critique of the films. Occasionally poor cgi isn't the reason that things age badly, it's when that cgi was used to cover up more bad parts of the project and that's not how LotR used its cgi

Did you watch the director cut?!?!

Truly an unpopular opinion
by Calm_Letter_2341 week ago
Ahhh… the wonderful smell of a truly unpopular opinion. I haven't had the patience to sit through the films in years but just no, I truly don't agree with you.
by schroederagusti1 week ago
Absolute garbage take. Like to the point that this is obvious trolling. Do not feed the troll, folks.

Return of the King is honestly one of the most boring movies ever made. No humor, no characters - just awful, stilted dialogue designed to be as pretentious as possible with heavy handed dramatic music, and endless tedious battle scenes that go on and on and - who cares? To be fair, the books got progressively duller as the wry spontaneity of The Hobbit gradually dissolved into the epic boredom of characters endlessly reciting their lineages. Nobody cares who you are the son of, Aragorn!
