HAHA!!! I remeber this one!!

Yeah, this movie was pretty weird, but it was still groundbreaking in its day!

My dad like this crappy movie and he thought the animation was good...

Also I saw waldo the other day in a book store, in his book, quite easy to spot.

Oh, je me souviens de ce film. C'est le PIRE adaptation de "Seigneur des Anneaux". T'as oublié du fait qu'ils ont changé le nom de Saruman à Aruman (parce que le réalisateur pensait que les gens qui vont regarder ce film vont être confus entre "SARUMAN" et "SAURON"..) merde et merde de plus! Et aussi, la taille de Balrog... disons... WTF!? MDR

:D "buh dew tre ruh"? I haven't a clue as to what Sam said either but i enjoyed your rant as always Benzaie. :D Keep it up!

Waldo? LOL
I'm glad I have avoided seeing this. It looks horrible and very cringe-worthy. The animation freaks me out.
IT'S OVER 9000!!!

I haven't seen that movie in a long time; it doesn't look quite the way I remember it...

I'm thankful that you also thought he looked like a native American....
that movie was horrendously terrible....
and managed to ruin rotoscoping, one of my favorite things in the world...

I like this video, but it was very hard for me to hear what you were saying a lot of the time. Maybe there's something you can do about that for the next video :)

Perfect. Just perfect.

Ok, I'm sorry to say this dude, but I could barely understand half of the things you're saying. I'm sure the video would have been a lot funnier if you were speaking a little bit more clearly...

I watched this movie when I was younger and I had to stop... because it was just too weird and annoying.

I don't really agree, i thing most of the moments you show were closest to the book than in the peter jackson movie (but it's still my favorite movie of all time !). The beginning of the animation was great, but when they... draw guys... filmed guys... wth? It's horrible ! You should show the balrog longer, it's ridiculous ! You forgot to say that saruman the white is not white?! Why make him red??

Mais j'ai quand même bien rigolé quand tu as fait la blague avec vegeta "It's over 9000 !!".

Intro: The use of colored live-action footage was very experimental and original, not cheap.

#5 - Tolkien's book was very dialogue oriented. He didn't have things turn into "Crouching Tiger, Flying Wizards" at the drop of the hat. This scene is closer to the book than Jackson's film.
#4 - I have no idea what you're talking about.
#3 - Did you know that this scene wasn't actually in the book and that it was added by the filmmakers? And then Jackson refilmed it in his version?
#2 is an example of how much better the animated film is in comparison to Jackson's films. In Jackson's version of the scene, having Bilbo briefly turn into a monster is far more laughable than what is portrayed here. Here, Bilbo looks like a drug addict in desperate need of a fix. It is an example of very good animation acting. Having him randomly turn into what that looks like something you'd find in a Japanese horror movie is severely laughable and not in the spirit of the book.
And I think you're really stretching it with #1.

Sorry, this movie is a classic.

Classically horrible. This Top 5 was genius.

The LOTR Animated was a half-assed production under the guise of artistic license, pure and simple.

Classic shit indeed

The fuck, man! The last one was poor. Why didn't you show the clip where the Nazguls knock out Frodo/Sam with blue sleeping gas they send out from their armpits by flapping their arms like chickens? THAT should have been the top one!

I died a little on the inside when I saw that in the movie...

But other than the top one, you did a great job picking out the funny parts of it :)

Usually, I enjoy the videos on this site. They're educational, funny and interesting. But this, along with that He-Man cartoon statement – although the attached review was funny as hell – is bullshit. I grew up with this film and I don't give a shit about it not following the books or that some of the characters "look silly". You're missing the point. The ball is off the field. This movie is good because it has a unique and cosy mood to it that very few other animated movies have.

Great video! Looking foward to your next video :)

I actually own this movie on VHS-tape. It is so god damn boring.
The worst thing is almost that the movie does not end. The was supposed to be a sequel but i guess they never made it, probably because the first sucked too much.

I bet this guy even didn't read a book...
This was just a try to make fun of some scenes like NC does but with big failure...
I saw this movie many times and it's classic...
Simply great movie if you ask me...
Not their fault that you guys are stuck with typical blockbusters that that everyone admires today just of ''cool'' efects and stuff like that...
Sry but this review was prety bad...

Interesting thing about the sequel. There were some A and B reels filmed, but the studio said no. And this is in spite of the fact that the movie actually turned a profit - the budget was $4 million; it grossed over $30 million.

Nice Job, curious observations
never watched the movie but it looks it blows

great job as always, Benzaie

Wtf are you guys complaining about? This was not a movie review. This was the top 5 wtf moments of the movie. And as much as I like watching "fanboys" whining when their favorite movie is getting nitpicked, you guys need to grow up. You gotta admit that most of those scenes were pretty what-the-fucked-up.

And all this whining about Benzaies voice/accent. I'm not a native english speaker but I can understand him just fine. And Benzaies still one of the funniest videomakers on this site.

Hyuk out.

I gotta say, I feel bad for people who still can't understand me and all...

which I think is funny because I don't know HOW IN HELL you can understand Scharzenegger, Stallone or even ThatAussieGuy's accent ? The video is fast paced, and my accent kinda there...but I think if some of you were a little bit more focused you would understand it perfectly...

I teach French in a school and every single BLOODY KIDS can understand me (in UK) so I'm sorry but I can't help thinking some people are just like " Damn French accent, fuck that I'm not going to try to understand since he doesn't sound like me !"...

even some people who bashed me at first now have no complains and loved the video...look at the interview with DOUG, does he have any problem understanding what am I saying ??? FuCK NO and that's not thanks to his super power, it's just a question of listening and respect IMO...

Then maybe I should have put a disclaimer saying " THIS VIDEO IS MADE FOR ENTERTAINMENT ONLY ", I know the animateed movie is actually closer to the book than the blockbuster like Trilogy, I know they tried new stuff, I never said the trilogy was good OR bad etc etc etc...

The movie is still incredibly boring, some art direction suck my balls like gimlee who's 7 feet tall and looks like a random lumberjack, Aragorn as a native american, Elrond who looks like a CAESAR parody and the overall animation has a weird feel to it thanks to the rotoscopy making most scene creepy

Movies like the King and The Mocking Bird, made around the same years, with a lower budget had a way better animation and production value...and eventhough you can consider that coloring live action footages is GROUNDBREACKING, it still is a cheap way to save money on drawing frames etc...just likee rotoscopy by the way...

Thanks for commenting...if somebody wants to discuss furthermore, post a thread in the corresponding forums...

PS: I didn't like what NC said about HE MAN as well, but sometime I can look at a video for it's entertainement and not just to see if I agree or not...

I dunno what you guys are on about.. i can understand him perfectly..

awesome job ben...

P.S. go fuck yourself too..

I will be honest. I don't usually care for Benzaie's videos, but I thought this was great. Very funny and an interesting twist on the usual top 5 lists you use on the Internet. And the Aussie parody at the end was hilarious. After Suede and Aussie, I wonder if Nostalgia Chick is next in line.

Oh and I understood everything he said just fine.

I remember the Orcs faces looking really, really weird...and bad. That's what I didn't like about this movie the most...oh, and the live-action ones make it unnecessary.

"Rage on with all your fury!!!!!"

I really appreciated that quote from Rhapsody!

...cause it's a quote from Sacred Power of Raging Winds, isn't it? O_o

[quote]...cause it's a quote from Sacred Power of Raging Winds, isn't it? O_o [/quote]

yes it be (eventhough this song steals from Danny Elfman a lot...)

Well i had a great time watching your video dude and it sure as hell was funny! , can't wait for more of your videos. [ and yes i did understand you. ];D

The entire series of LotR animateds should be 'WTF.' These were so bad I was actually expecting the live action versions to suck. Thank you Peter Jackson for proving me wrong. Screw you Ralph Bakshi, for losing your touch after the excellent [i]Wizards.[/i] Wait. That was his only good movie.

Sorry, ranting off into useless knowledge. Good vid, though he is hard to understand sometimes.
