If made in 1990 they’d suck shit

If made even a few years later even before Woke shit, they’d have Hans Zimmer soundtracks and sound The Same as everything else

A few years later and they’d be shot on digital and would look like shit but would at least be 60 FPS lol

False. the golden age of fantasy movies was the 80s. Conan the Barbarian still stands as the best of all time.

if LOTR was made in the 80s there would have been zero reliance on cgi. Imagine Conan + Willow + Legend but with 180 story and execution.

Conan the Barbarian is widely considered a masterpiece and the best in the genre. John Milius directing an oliver stone script. it has the similar misfortune of the first Rocky though, a 180 movie followed by silly sequels.

they wouldn't have been able to pull off the big moments with just puppets and stop motion imo. maybe they could but it would look pretty dated today.

Yeah 80s might’ve worked. 90s no. It would’ve looked like a Tim Burton Batman film or something. In the 90s it would’ve needed to have bankable boomer actors in it. Mel Gibson as Aragorn. Kevin Costner as Elrond.

In the late 1960s, The Beatles explored the possibility of creating a movie adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings. They even approached director Stanley Kubrick, and there were discussions about specific roles for the band members. However, Tolkien ultimately denied the band the rights to the material, preventing the project from moving forward.

Even a year later and they would’ve been completely fucked. Jackson lived CGI so much that he would’ve done the whole trilogy in full cgi if it were possible at the time. He had so settle for gollum and it sent him into a cgi spiral. There’s a story of them kicking in the door of his trailer and he’s showing cgi down his throat frantically flushing the toilet and smushing it in the shower drain
