Besides a few creatives, Hollywood simply doesn't even have the drive or energy to make these grand sprawling epics. Sure, there are many movies that have come out that had a higher budget than films in the LOTR trilogy, but they certainly don't feel more expensive. In fact, they look worse, which is embarrassing considering how much visual effects has evolved over the years since the trilogy. I mean, just look at the Hobbit films, newer movies yes, but LOTR trilogy still knocks them out of the park visually(must we forget the random GoPro footage). Maybe its because big budget filmmaking has become so bland over the years, but even if it didn't, the LOTR trilogy would still hold up extremely well. Its such an inspiring testament to what great filmmaking is capable of. We are absolutely able to make movies of this quality. The fact is that the economics of modern filmmaking simply don't support putting this sort of care into films. IDK how informed you are, but the way they shoot the blockbusters of today is very different. The actors shoot their scenes even before the script is finished and the movie is spliced together after the fact. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defmix100 6,613 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 I'm currently watching the extended editions, Fellowship has always been my favourite of them and was one of the best cinema experiences I had as a kid 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
