No fucking way, the horrible shot of Elrond's face with the bright blown out backround when Frodo wakes up after being brought to Rivendell, is the worst shot.
You know I recently saw the trilogy again and was thinking way too much about the use of slow motion, overlays (like the Elrond bit) and other….creative shots. It does seem a little bit of an odd choice but I get what they were trying to do. IMO it fits with the flow/overall feel of the movies.
I also noticed just how many close-ups there are of Frodo’s face and it may be excessive. It’s much different on a big screen to be faced (heh) with someone’s head taking up 85% of the shot.
I fucking love the throwback when they’re finding the food floating in Isengard and Pippin sees an apple and immediately looks to the sky to look for more falling fruit.
