Movie Reviews of The Lord of the Rings [Region 2]
Movie Review: just ok
Summary: 3 Stars
i saw this for the first time today. being a fan of the live action trilogy and the animated Hobbit movie i figured i would enjoy this movie... and to an extent i did but i think my main gripe was how all the characters seemed to move very un natural. it seemed like everybody kept swaying back and forth and ran/walked awkward. it was a tad distracting. at first i thought the rotoscope animation was cool but towards the end they started to over use it and it got annoying and inconsistant. i realize this cartoon is 30 years old so i'll cut it some slack. another thing that bothered me was how confusing some scenes were. had i not read the books and seen the live action movies i would be very confused on certain scenes that tended to be very quiet and dragged out (frodo in la la land when the black riders are trying to get him as well as the scene where the riders of rohan rescue merry and pippin.. why were bother sides just staring at eachother?). in the end.. it was nice to watch but i the abrupt ending and no proper sequel were enough to make me give it 3 out of 5 stars.
Summary of The Lord of the Rings [Region 2]
Although it was ultimately overshadowed by Peter Jackson's live-action Lord of the Rings trilogy, Ralph Bakshi's animated adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien's fantasy classic is not without charms of its own. A target of derision from intolerant fans, this ambitious production is nevertheless a respectably loyal attempt to animate the first half of Tolkien's trilogy, beginning with the hobbit Frodo's inheritance of "the One Ring" of power from Bilbo Baggins, and ending with the wizard Gandalf's triumph over the evil army of orcs. While the dialogue is literate and superbly voiced by a prestigious cast (including John Hurt as Aragorn), Leonard Rosenman's accomplished score effectively matches the ominous atmosphere that Bakshi's animation creates and sustains. Bakshi's lamentable decision to combine traditional cel animation with "rotoscoped" (i.e., meticulously traced) live-action footage is jarringly distracting and aesthetically disastrous, but when judged by its narrative content, this Lord of the Rings deserves more credit than it typically receives. --Jeff ShannonAnimation DVD Video
