I like how Black Panther is the one film out of the 8 Best Picture nominees is just infuriating to some here, but no one is going to question Bohemian Rhapsody or Vice? Those 2 are the mediocre movies that were nominated based on merit.

It's 9(?) hours long. It's a boring story. I don't care about most of the characters. It's magical fantasy. Dark CGI. I wasn't a kid when they came out. I wasn’t a kid when they came out either and still regard the trilogy as a defining movie achievement for that generation of film makers. The CGI looks dated now, granted as it pertains to Gollum, but at the time was one of the greatest manifestations of cgi. 9 hrs too boring? I love the extended cuts even more! I would have visited that world for twice as long (no - the Hobbit doesn’t count!). You tip your bias as soon as you throw out that it is dark fantasy as a mark against it. So what? It tells an entertaining story that is as immersive as any world depicted on screen at the time and to date. I have mixed feelings about the Black Panther nomination (generally am happy for it - it isn’t that big a stretch to argue its merits) but will absolutely not stand for a lotr besmirching! The CGI was dark. Never cared for the book as a kid and the movies didn't make me appreciate the story any more. My bias is towards 'wizard' fantasy. The Harry Potter movies (however far I got) fall into same hole for me. |
