Uh-oh. Two words: “Ralph Bakshi.” Different isn’t always better.
That is true, but considering how Jackson butchered the book, in the areas of
1) Changing major plot points
2) Changing characters’ motivations and personalities and
3) Changing the story’s theme
there’s not much Del Toro could do that would be worse...
I’m definitely cool with this. Prior to ‘King Kong’ I may have been disappointed, but not now.
That movie changed everything. Unwatchable.
What? You got sumthin’ against Rotoscope?
: )
Oh, well, I guess that I must be the only person in the world who likes Baskshi's version of Lord of the Rings (as well as "Wizards"). The music score for the Bakshi LOTR was great and the animation wasn't that bad either. Personally, I liked the Aragorn in the Baskshi version between than Viggo Mortensen.
...but, better is always different.
