Yeah, that's pretty much what I meant with the glowing armies. Everybody was clean, like they just got out of the laundry and bath before the battle.
They were all traveling with huge armies and the orcs were in tunnels. They should have been grimier, dirtier and bruised and tired.
I think a lot of the disdain with the Hobbit trilogy was that they took too many liberties. Creating new characters and story lines and drama.
Perhaps we all just got spoiled with the majesty of the LOTR films.
I totally agree. I much prefer LTR over hobbit, and nothing you say I can disagree on. Similar polish looks are also found in LTR and to be honest, in many other High Fantasy movies. I know what I same about to say sounds weird, but what about taking a shit or a piss? haha I often wonder about these movies and how you almost never see anyone go to doo these things. Maybe I'm just weird this way, but in those huge armies I'm sure there are toilet duties to need to deal with. ok, so take a shit or piss as toilet would be hand dig hole lol. Yeah, I know, its a strange thing to get curious about, but to my mind we all go so why not at least show something, like someone gores to a bush or something.

Anyhow, I blame my extreme tiredness and fatigue for my delusional insanity about this strange idea lol.
but yep, more dirt and battle warn armies would be a great start. Plus dirt on hobbit after many weeks of walking the scenery.
FYI LTR and Hobbit were make in New Zealand and the Hobbit town still exist for people to visit. Not sure you know this fun fact, and also the entire series filmed in New Zealand.
I've seen Ju-on (the original) it was great. But, I did see it after I saw the US version of The Grudge (which was not very good).
It's hard to judge it after seeing the shit that came after. Kind of like Old Boy, the US version sucked so bad. But probably a little because the original was so damn good.
I haven't seen Ringu yet, but I'll Put it on the list.
Unfortunately, this is exactly how many USA versions are like. The original (I think Swedish) Girl with Dragon Tattoo, was a true masterpiece, like Ju-On and Ringu, but just like those two, The USA version was a totally terrible and awful movie. Sorry to say this but IMO, the Hollywood shit productions have consistently produced total trash from converted foriegn movies. I don't know many that were remotely good, although, I did enjoy the USA Ring, as i said. Nothing like the original, but still very good.
