Would you say all three Lord of the Rings movies are masterpieces of cinema on their own?

no, i don't care for them, i'm not big on fantasy besides Star Wars Coming from a guy with a Woody Allen pic. All the trash you used to talk on this and you can’t answer a simple question. I wonder why lol.

If I would have to rate them seperately then I'd say only Fellowship is a masterpiece, but all three together definitely are a masterpiece when it comes to big budget fantasy movies. How many fantasy movies are there that have this sense and scale of epicness, apart from Star Wars?

I think they're separately great films, and together a masterpiece.

Would you say all three Lord of the Rings movies are masterpieces of cinema on their own? Or only as a trilogy as a whole? None of them are.
Recently, I tried to watch the first one again and I couldn't get 30 minutes into it.
I do not like this trilogy at all. I love the novels. I even like the animated feature film from the late 70s, which does manage to capture the feel of the novels.
But this trilogy does not work at all for me. I wish it did.

nah. First one is better than the book due to cutting out the ample fat. Second one is disappointing due to cutting out the meat, and including silly changes that go nowhere. Third one is overstuffed and super-cheesy; I cringed and laughed so hard especially at the bed-scene, the "I'm not a man" scene, and the slo-mo ending.     Hobbit acting still makes me laugh though; wish they had kissed at the end. After GoT I cannot take it seriously anymore. |

Yes, definitely. My daughter jokes that we watch them annually but it's really about every other year. LOTR/Tolkien is one of those things where the more you know, the more you appreciate it.

I consider them masterpieces. The first attempt to adapt the story in 1978 fell way short. It was animated because at the time the technology didn't exist to make it a proper film. I could level some criticisms against Jackson for the material he omitted and added, but overall he did a fantastic job.

If you acknowledge that there can be a masterpiece of even the lowest art form, the LotR films are certainly masterpieces of their genre; masterpieces in making the occasionally abstruse story accessible to mainstream audiences while preserving the core mythology and story elements, masterpieces in set and costume design, masterpieces in sfx including use of miniatures, masterpieces in bringing together all of the fantastic elements and still creating a resonant, emotional and above all human experience.
