My recommendations:
-
The Fellowship of the Ring:
1. The Fan Version.
From what I understand, the Fan Version uses the luminance of the HD Extended Edition, but is color matched to the Theatrical Edition and the Extended DVDs. I love it. I found it on 1337x.to.
2. The HD Theatrical Edition (2010)
If you donât care about the Extended Edition, this is a great option. It has some DNR, but the colors look good.
3. The 4K (2020)
The 4Ks are fine, but out of all of them, Fellowship is the worst, because the colors are so boring.
4. The DVDs?
I donât know, anything but the HD Extended Edition.
5. The HD Extended Edition (2011)
Abysmal.
-
The Two Towers:
1. The HD Extended Edition (2011)
The Two Towers and The Return of the King werenât messed up, so I prefer the HD Blu-rays over the 4Ks. However, the Extended Edition of The Two Towers has a slight green tint in some scenes, compared to the Theatrical Edition, but itâs not that noticeable.
2. The 4K (2020)
Arguably, The Two Towers benefits the most from a fancy new color grade, since the original was a little flat. I love how blue the skies are in this version. Unfortunately, the DNR looks the worst. The plains of Rohan are wiped out. There are like ten different flashbacks, so the white filter bugs me. And anything thatâs yellow-green is too saturated, so certain costume details look like caution-tape, and anyone with blonde hair looks like theyâve been swimming in chlorine.

The Return of the King:
1. The HD Extended Edition (2011)
Perfect.
Although, I had audio-sync problems with The Two Towers and the Return of the King, so personally, I swapped the audio with the 4K audio.
2. The 4K (2020)
The Return of the King 4K doesnât bother me that much. But I prefer the HD version.

Going from that brooding ending to those shitty upscaled credits made me burst out laughing. 10/10 editing mate.

My version has a Cerveza Cristal commercial about every half hour or so.

As one of the matte painters on the film, ( painted the afternoon Leaving Rivendell 14:59 and morning Entering Rivendell 15:31 ), it's painful to see such degradation - pun intended - in the colour and tones of LOTR.
I had my own 'war' with PJ in regards to the colour of the sky in the 'entering Rivendell' scene. It was meant to be warm, morning light and he wanted me to paint in a bright blue sky with two puffy white clouds, just like a Simpsons sky. I refused at first but then cartoonised, like the Simpsons, the entire shot and sent it for film out to be viewed in the screening room. They were NOT happy!
He ended up getting the compositors to grade the sky blue. Everyone, including Elijah Wood told him to leave it alone and he relented... halfway.
I love PJ for making the films but by God he made some stupid decisions at the time!

I always felt the film grain added to the effect of viewing an old forgotten world.

Aragornâs bow tapping the screen is so thing Iâm strangely attached to. Seeing the âcorrectedâ shot literally filled me with rage.

From the bottom of my heart....thank you for making this video. I always thought there was something off about the 4k release. I am not trained in editing or colour grading so I would have never been able to figure it out. Sincerely, out of all the many LOTR YouTube vids, yours has been most helpful for my soul. Lol thanks

Nice Touch at the end!
You upscaled your "DVD" credits!

Thanks for the shoutout! Glad youâve enjoyed the HD color restoration. I agree with your analysis here 100%. All I want is the same version of LOTR that I saw in the 2000s, but in a higher resolution than a DVD. Pretty simple idea, but apparently Peter Jackson just doesnât care to offer that, unfortunately.
I was initially pretty happy when the 4K Blu-rays first released, because even though it wasnât a 1:1 color restoration, at least the Blu-rayâs ugly green tint problem had been fixed. But after the rose-colored glasses came off, it became really obvious to me that the 4K remaster wasnât handled nearly as well as it should have been. The digital noise reduction is especially egregious, and the fact that it has less highlight detail than the DVD is straightup absurd.
Hoping that one day weâll finally get a proper 4K restoration that preserves the original color grade.

Thank you, I knew I wasn't crazy about my DVD looking radically different from my HD and 4K editions. Thank you.

jesse shows up like a godsend dropping the best content on youtube but just whenever he feels like it lmao.

The color grading for flashbacks is truly unforgiveable. Genuinely on par with George Lucas or James Cameron revisionism.

Grain does add value in the "Silent Hill Fog" sense. Its immersive when your mind naturally fills in the gaps. Its a weird kind of stylisation.

The silly thing about the upscaling of the Fan Club credits is that they could have easily have had a computer read it and re-write it these days.

Annoyed me too when the 4K came out with none of the bonus discs and if you wanted those then you needed to get the regular blu-ray edition, which i already own from the previous remaster.

Whatâs weird is, from what Iâve seen, theyâve ALSO DNRâd the hell out of the Hobbit even though it was shot in 5K⌠because the film and the VFX were finished in 2K, they upscaled that as well, and because those films are EXTREMELY VFX heavy, the CG looks far worse than it used to and the in camera stuff also looks waxy as well. Itâs horrendousâand I say this as someone who likes the Hobbit a lot. They even brightened up the Smaug sequence in the second movie for âcontinuityâ and it baffles meânot only are the images DNRâd to hell but theyâre brightened up so we can see the imperfections clearly. Like, HUH??? Iâm good with the original 1080p Blu-Rays for all six movies, thanks.

Finally watched the 4k remastered versions of Lord of the Rings. Definitely a mixed bag. They took full advantage of the HDR for the colors to pop (shots of fire, lava, the green at Minas Morgul) but at times it seemed to artificially colorful, compared to what I remembered. The high saturation also caused some unintended colors to show up such as Theoden's blonde beard turning green. A few other shots that stood out like sore thumbs: an extended edition shot of the corsair ships in the bay (the colors were cartoonishly oversaturated) and some extreme DNR on Theoden's face after the warg fight in the Two Towers. Even my partner noticed the waxy face then and he usually isn't looking out for that kind of thing. And yes, the flashbacks with the desaturation and iMovie-level vignette effect are probably the worst offenders. At the end of the day, though, the cosmetic changes may be distracting but they can't ruin the storytelling of these amazing films.

Stuff like this is exactly why I fear physical media becoming obsolete.
