The funny thing is how he claims he did this DNR/EE stuff to try to make LOTR look more like The Hobbit, yet he APPLIED THE SAME EFFECTS TO THE HOBBIT! This actually makes me wonder if these things were done further down the pipeline. The new remastered Blu-rays don't appear to have these issues, so it seems as if this is applied during the 2K -> 4K upscaling process. Peter Jackson may have been supervising the 2K HDR master, not the final upscale.

(About DNR) "That's an indication that the settings are too high" No amount of DNR is acceptable. Not even at low settings. It's all destructive.

Kimba is the real Lion King. TLK is a disgusting ripoff.

I had to comment, I recently watched the Trilogy in the Cinema (Uk Based), And when watching the Fellowship I thought it had a strange grainy, “bad quality” appearance to it. I didn’t think much of it - until the second and third started and the detail was so much more crisp Edit: Oh, and in the Prologue the scene with Ian Holme finding the ring was totally missing. Martin Freeman wasn’t even included

Id like to add that I've bought the ultra hd 4k remaster 4 times. Each time the discs start degrading and skipping/freezing after about 6 months. It is a facotry error with the plastic they used in the factory. Anyone else have issues with this?

First World Problems

Damn, damn, damn. It's such a slippery slope. Just give us the original colour grading

All the creepy masks make this Chefs kiss love me some lord of the rings still watch it at least twice a year extended edition.

Even with all its problem, still better than modern crap! But here to hope they will do it justice in the future!

Very interesting, thank you! I'm not that invested in the trilogy but I very much get these frustrations - my heart sinks every time a 4k restoration of a classic movie is released any someone thought it a good idea to give it a greenish, blueish or yellowish tint. And you'd think if any movie warranted the pains of going through a complete rescan of the original elements, it would be this - very much alive! - franchise. How come this was too much work but Paramount did it for, uhm, 'Star Trek the Motion Picture' and even re-rendered the CGI?

This is what got me away from buying movies on discs. You do it over and over again for a better version but each time another flaw is brought in. Or may i correct me, i stopped buying because of the simple upscales from DVD in the beginning of BluRays. Then you had to buy the better rescan and then the directors cut or the one with the fixed colors or sound and so on. No thanks.

I wonder if the green was a pj choice since we know he made other unpopular color decisions. Also curious if any of the fan edits will have dolby...

That was good but still I prefer non narrated videos

Remaster…maybe. Ramake/reboot, HELL NO!

I own the Apple TV version 4K, Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision. I hope they upgrade it later when improvements are made.

I dunno. I kinda love the blue filter. Its part of the charme and reminds me of the early 2000s.

I'm in the minority and I get that, but I prefer the original cut of the films. Secondly, I just went to see the three films in theater this June after not having seen the films in many, many years, and I was so disgusted by the digital effects and some of the footage. It looked so plastic-y. It made me sad because all my life I have thought that LOTR has some of the best VFX that still pay off really well 20 years later, but then it looked so bad.

Lord of the rings needs to be remade for a modern audience, there is not a single person of color in all 3 movies

They did make both the Hobbit and LotR look like they were filmed at the same time. I know people don't like the Hobbit, but I do think it is part of the larger story. So I get the rationale behind it. That said I also can see the point you made in the video where the way these films were shot kind of gave them a each their own kind of aesthetic and look. I don't hate the Hobbit. And I felt the Hobbit's style/tone actually worked for it because the Hobbit was written for Tolkien's children so it benefitted from the more saturated tones, etc. I wouldn't have noticed a lot of the finer details you pointed out in my watching of it. It's like you said when it's in motion you don't tend to pick up on it. As far as the DNR? I don't think it's as bad here as it is in other stuff. I do think film grain like DNR can either enhance or distract. Depends on the film really. Raiders of the Lost Ark on 4k was 'reportedly' based on fresh scans of the original camera negatives. I do think DNR was used to an extent in the 4k re-releases of Indy, but I don't think that it was ultimately detrimental. There is still grain there. I am glad they fixed the green grading of the blu-rays. I do think that there is a risk any director takes in constantly going back to rework their past work. George Lucas's Star Wars has been meddled with so much you can't reliably even watch the film as it was originally shown in theaters. As far as remasters go? Outside of fan edits the 4k releases are probably the best we can hope for outside of a new release for a new format. But does that then mean there are further "enhancements" or more "tinkering." I do think that there was a lot of work Jackson and his team had done. But you are talking about a grand total of 6 films each with a runtime of about 3 hours. It may not even be Jackson. But it could be WB once again cutting corners/costs. You only need to look at other WB efforts. The Superman 4k collection has some really heavy grain. And color can fluctuate. But you only need to look at WB's release of the LotR Ultimate Collection. They put all 6 films on 31 discs, with some art cards and a booklet and some fancy cardboard packaging for a whopping price tag of $250. If you want fancy packaging a person should just opt for the steelbook sets. That said the only "Special features" you had in this so called ultimate edition was the alamo draft house reunion hosted by Stephen Colbert and a Cannes film presentation reel. There were no appendices or any of the previously released special features. So I would be willing to say that WB went "cheap" for the 4k remasters. I again don't know if I would put all the blame on Jackson. It is kind of the nature of the beast sadly. A passionate fan with nothing but time and passion is likely always going to be able to spend more time to get something looking just right versus a large corporation who is just looking to make more money. I'd also give the example of the restoration of Bud Abbott and Costello Show season 2 by 3D Film Archive. These guys are independent and the restoration of the original film reels is nothing short of amazing. (I recommend giving it a look if you like old comedy). Great video though with well reasoned/articulated points!

This essay should be shown to Peter Jackson.

No

A main issue for me is that the first three seasons have the Jim-Pam romance as pretty much the main and only storyline and it was the most interesting and part of the show. When they ended up getting together that storyline ended and from season 4 onward if kinda just started getting boring. And the last season for me was just awful. They got new writers for the last season and it just did not work. New Dwight is unfunny and New Jim was kinda interesting but the shows literally just doing Jim’s story all over again because the writers clearly couldn’t think of anything more original. And the assassination of Andy’s character will never be forgiven for me.

Lord of the Rings looked amazing in the cinema on 35mm. There are not digital formats that can match it.

Just another INTP.

So, what is the best version now? I just got the newest 4k remaster. Is there like a fan community color grade of that?

So the SEE DVD Version ist best way to go?

I bought the Special Extended DVD Edition (12 Discs) so many years ago, and surprisingly, I just found its tint was close to the theatrical version! I had spent more time watching the HD version of the extended edition online before I noticed the green tint problem. It is good to see they solved this problem for the 4K version; however, I really hate how they messed up the flashback scenes and the DNR. It is awful and unacceptable, and I would roar like Gollum for this treacherous, too.

The 4K version has grain, how did you play it and capture it?

I love the neuroticism in this video.

im late as hell to the party, my apologies, but the lion king is like one of my favorite films ever? it was my first major interest as a child and influenced me a lot. we had dvds with extras and shit and i would watch them so much theyd scratch. i occassionally rewatch it, and whenever my mom's friends come around and they happen to have kids, its the first film i think to put on for them to watch. pass the brainworm, yknow the stampede scene has always stuck with me in every way. from the score, to the animation, to the emotional impact its left on us all. and having seen it as many times as i have, youd think id get over it. NUH UH even to this day i get goosebumps. my blood literally runs cold thanks to that dolly shot. the execution was perfect, and honestly the best way to have done it, that i cannot even think of any live action examples that fill me with as much dread as that exact shot brings me. perhaps its just because it was a huge interest, but no matter how many times i watch it, or hell even just think about the score, my whole body reacts thats just how good that shot is

This is an incredibly poor interpretation of the film framed in the modern comic book franchise craze. The movie was about a yr put from iron man, so nobody was paying for comic book movies like this. It's 2 3/4 hrs. Let's add slo mo? Let's add an entire secondary storyline for meta commentary? Let's add another level of meta commentary with comic book characters acknowledging they're comic book characters? You're looking at 6-7 hrs of movie that nobody would've ever invested in. It took 6 successful movies/shows for mcu to build enough cred to do Thanos

"Everything is open to corruption and decay. Especially that which you love most"

Personally started watching house for the medical stuff (I guess I was a weird kid? I watched a lot of nat geo, animal planet and discovery growing up) Always been interesting in medical shows, be it documentaries or dramas. I still vividly remember a documentary I watched on malaria as a child. That stuff works better than any horror on me

It truly is tragic that some of the most intelligent practical and creative works can come from such suffering. Is suffering truly worth it if the result brings to life such beauty?

What the fuck? How did I never realize these changes. Seeing them by comparison now almost makes me weep. Someone needs to put their big boy pants on and figure this shit out for posterity of this masterpiece.

The editing this is top notch, such creative masking and timing to illustrate what you’re talking about. I can’t imagine how long it took, thanks for your work!

Honestly, I kinda dig the color on the new grades. Other than the exposure getting dropped. That sucks. And of course for nostalgia's sake, I would love to have access to all the original versions, but the mood and tone from the saturation and tint feels quite accurate to my memories of the films from when I was a child.

I trust The Digital Bits and I trust my eyes. It's a rescan

I don't know what are you all about. The 4K version looks much sharper and crisper than the blu ray, it's a night and day difference

This is really disappointing and frustrating. I got the 4K Extended films because my family watches the every year - it's become a New Year's tradition. When we watched the 4K versions, I loved the detail, but I noticed that some things were very off with the color. Especially, everyone from Rohan with blonde hair at Helm's Deep had a greenish tint to their hair. I thought ti might be due to my screen, which is a 43" 4K monitor, but tweaking the monitor settings, I couldn't really fix the greenish-looking hair. Some other scenes didn't look right but I didn't really study them hard enough to figure out what was wrong, I just knew that things didn't look right. From this documentary I learned that Jackson may have screwed up the colors deliberately to match the grading of scenes in The Hobbit, and I'm horrified! We don't use the H-word in this house - those movies are atrocious. This is like restoring Star Trek, and altering everything to match the animated series... or George Lucas altering the original Star Wars. Thank G-d _that_ would never happen 😠 We'll probably watch the extended edition DVDs again next New Year's and leave it at that. If they ever do release a decent 4K edition, am I gonna have to buy the White Album yet again?

35mm is actually 5K resolution, better than 4K bluray. It just has film grain and imperfections still. As long as 35mm exists it can be remastered. But these AI assisted remasters lately are terrible

This 3rd Part is weird, it’s a different type of Analysis, the first two parts were purely about the Show, now you’re trying everything you can to make the show look as bad as possible, not because the show is actually bad, but because you don’t like some of the usual House jokes, which you sympathized with in the first two parts. This Analysis turned from good to extremely bad the moment you started voicing things that are both stupid and untrue. Hopefully, you go back to an actual Analysis of the Show in the rest of this. (Also, the moment you started talking about any type of trans stuff was the moment you completely went off course and just started saying the most random and coincidental stuff, while also including some truth so that you can make your personal, biased Opinions of 2021/2022 sound like real Facts and not just delusional stuff)

you talked so much but still missed so many important aspacts....

These films deserve a full rescan of all the 35mm footage. To throw it into Topaz and just upscale the footage is beyond lazy, even with taking out the CGI and upscaling it separately. Only way to get a truly Native 4k print is to scan the negatives. Truly embarrassing stuff.

a video was not needed to answer this question, it's simple.. yes it can get remade, should it get remade? thats another question... for the most part, no, it should not get remade, but there is one way it could get remade, and that is properly, instead of 3 movies, it should be six, peter jackson messed up alot of important character development and even veto'd whole parts of the story, messed around witht he pacing and ordering and if you ever read the books, you will realise, peter jacksons trilogy, is, terrible!

I subscribed because of the commitment to house then i immediately unsubscribed watching this because of the 2000s hate and thinking his jokes are offensive lol

i love this. details matter so so much! thanks so much. one would wish peter jackson would watch this and agree

Why?

1/6 level teaspoon of Mac a day, it is interesting. . .
