ROTK is the best of the three. Can't believe so many are caught up on the ghost army, which was pretty awesome to watch at the time...and still is for me. Regardless, the rest of the movie is so great, especially Aragorn completing his transformation which is what the books were mainly about to me.

He's right. Fellowship was the best

But I thought the entire trilogy blended every aspect of movie making very well

You can't have pellenor fields or helms deep without it

Ents attacking isengard

They're all great, but Vigo is right as to why fellowship is the best

This movie blogger took significant issue with Viggo biting the hand that fed him. I agree with the movie blogger

Couldn't disagree more. He gave his opinion when someone asked about it. The blogger said he "spit in the face" of fans with those comments and was "so disrespectful." He also made up comments that Viggo Mortensen did not say. You need to get thicker skin if you are that big of a baby that benign comments are going to make you that defensive.

That video is based on quotes taken out of context. This is what Mortensen actually said:

quote:
“Anybody who says they knew it was going to be the success it was, I don’t think it’s really true,” he says. “They didn’t have an inkling until they showed 20 minutes in Cannes, in May of 2001. They were in a lot of trouble, and Peter had spent a lot. Officially, he could say that he was finished in December 2000 – he’d shot all three films in the trilogy – but really the second and third ones were a mess. It was very sloppy – it just wasn’t done at all. It needed massive reshoots, which we did, year after year. But he would have never been given the extra money to do those if the first one hadn’t been a huge success. The second and third ones would have been straight to video.”
