| Mnementh said: This is reality, before Peter Jacksons trilogy every attempt at adaptation was generally deemed bad. And the Hobbit trilogy is also generally marked as mediocre at best. This makes it so much more strange, that so many seem to be willing to defend that train wreck Rings of Power. |
As someone who read LotR in early 80s, and only then watched Bakshi's '78 adaptation, I found it to be very good tonal representation of the books, no matter the limited running time and budgetary constrains of it. I actually prefer it to Jackson's, since, from my POV, gets more things right than wrong than Jackson's.
