![]() It would take thirty years and an Aussie with some filmmaking know how, a track record, and a vision to propose the project and make all of Tolkien's ring saga come to life. In short, the Tolkien tale that people wanted never had a chance to materialize. Next we're in location C confronting some event, and so on and so forth. One moment were in location A, then the next we're in location B with some new characters. ![]() At the time I saw the film I had a hard time following it, even with the added narrative supplied by the characters. ![]() I think this project was given to Bakshi because he knew that the full tale would not be realized by old guard Hollywood who were paranoid of a culture that harkened back to mythology and days of yore. The artistry that went into this production is half good, half b-grade material. You hear critics give their opinion, but you don't hear fans voicing their amazement at the visuals, but also feeling like they were sold a bill of goods. And people walked out wondering what it was they had just seen. You couldn't get a seat for the life of you. I remember opening weekend for this thing. Mostly grin because it is a respectable effort at a production, but I can't help but believe that the entire tale was never meant to see the screen via Bakshi. Every time I see this film I grin and them grimace some.
