Cheers, Beleg! Once I got into that review, it was actually quite entertaining! I've never seen such a critical blow by blow review of a movie which the reviewer so obviously reviles before!

I particularly liked:

Sure it's blurry, but you can still tell it's a disco ball.
Plus all the screen grabs were pretty cool. Like watching the movie without having to fork out preciouss dollarss. The Balrog looked ultra scary when you see a picture of Gandalf actually fighting it. Moreso than the PJ Balrog, IMHO.

It's been a longo time since I saw the Bakshi, but my main memory is that I was disappointed that it ended partway through TTT. So I can't have despised it as much as the Agony Booth reviewer, since I was willing to sit through more of the same. I do recall that the switching between animation and live action was weird at best, though.
