funny XD
I always knew there had to be a reason why I despised this version soooo much;
I mean, I am happy for those who were brought up with this, as I can imagine that any LotR-Fan would be more than eternally grateful to have his or her favorite book made into a movie. But... well...
Admittedly, I grew up with the Peter-Jackson-Version and of course, the special effects, the actors, the make.up and what else were incomparably better than the methods from 1978. So I have to say that I am spoiled when it comes to The Lord of the Rings.
Nonetheless: I do think that people - even in the 1970's - were aware of how... unspeakably silly, cranky and cheap this kind of movie is. The art and especially the background scenery leaves me in awe but, the voices, the characters and above all, the singing makes me burst into fits of laughter.
The Balrogscene...
MUAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH... forgive me, but how can I possibly take this ... butterfly-lion-boar-thingie serious??? I do have to admit that I am not a fan of mingling cartoon and live-action scenarios but this is just ridiculous. Including Gandalf's hesitating attempt: "You cannot... pass? Please? With sugar on top?" And including the goblin/orc-statues in the background... I am not convinced that such a thing would have been built by the dwarfs of Moria, hm? ;-) AND ABOVE ALL INCLUDING BOROMIR'S HELMET... seriously guys, there was a reason for Tolkien to speak of winged helmets, especially in Gondor... and there was also a reason why the Rohirrim were designed to resemble the Vikings or Northern folks and not the Gondorians. So... EPIC FAIL!
So, to sum it up, I do not want to criticize the animation or anything else concerning the techniques on this film. I just criticize -and this strongly - that this movie is boring to an extent no human has ever reached before and it totally fails in portraying or even conjuring up emotions. No one is to sufer with the fellowship because no one can stop lauging of yawning long enough to actually follow the poorly told story.
EDIT: Kay, now I found something that is even more... ahhh... well... look at this and answer me some questions:
1. What's with the nose-obsession?
2. Why is Elrond ... well... like... shining? O.o
3. Bilbo is an ape... since when? O.o
4. THRANDUIL THE ELVEN KING???!!! It's the frog-like-thing with the crown... Legolas' father actually XD
You should watch the whole part if you want to be bored to death XD

Und jetzt bin ich still, weil ich eh keinen graden Gedanken fassen kann. XD

Wobei ich mir nicht sicher bin, ob das ein Kriterium für Authentizität ist, denn auch er hat eindeutig geschludert, was die Charaktere und deren Hintergründe angeht, z.B. bei der Aussprache der Namen auf die Tolkien in den Büchern ja extra noch mal hinweist. Beispiele:
Isildur, den man auch im Englischen ausspricht, wie man ihn auf Deutsch liest, wurde zu "Isoldur" oder etwas ähnlich bescheuertes und das übliche "Minas Tirith"-Problem, das sich als "MAInas TIRIFFF" äußerte (Part 9 von Lord of the Rings animation 1978, als Beweis auf Youtube^^ 5:42)
Das Geilste: Sie nennen "Saruman" nur "Aruman", weil man befürchtete, die Zuschauer würden ihn mit "Sauron" verwechseln...
Um's nochmal deutlicher herauszustellen: Ich finde für die 78er sind die Techniken, die benutzt wurden, sehr ordentlich, ich bin auch ziemlich verliebt in die Darstellung des Auenlandes, sowie die Reise von Frodo und Sam durch Mordor (in dem 3. "Kinderfilm"video).
Allerdings gefällt mir das Charakterdesing nicht (Aragorn, der Indianer im Minirock und Boromir der Wikinger, Elrond als Cäsar usw. XD), die Lieblosigkeit mit der Namen, Ortschaften und generell die Hintergrundgeschichte behandelt wurden und schließlich: der Film hat kein Ende und ein zweiter Teil wurde nie gedreht. Man sieht grob, wie die Urukhai erschlagen werden, danach wars das. Solche Sachen sind wie ein Schlag ins Gesicht für die Fans eines solchen Werkes =(
Fazit: Teils großartige Zeichnungen und gute Konzepte für Szenen (Jackson selbst hat ja einige übernommen, wie die "Hobbits-verstecken-sich-unter-einer-Wurzel"-Szene oder die Szene in Bree, wenn die Nazgul auf die leeren Betten einstechen) , aber keinerlei Spannung, Emotion und Hintergrundwissen (Hobbits, die Aragorn bis zur Schulter reichen und ein Gimli, der genauso groß ist wie Gandalf, ein Sam, der das Elbenboot steuert, Legolas(!!!) der von "Meinem Herrn Elrond" spricht (O___O WTF?!) und was der Sinnlosigkeiten mehr sind XD).
