Like the other comment says, the CGI doesn't hold up that well. Luckily, the LotR trilogy doesn't rely on it that much. I still hope they have the original unedited footage stored somewhere and we get a new version with modern CGI capabilities. That'd be amazing to see. It holds up mostly fine though, so it isn't a huge issue.
Found George Lucas.
Lol. Hopefully not that far. They should try to capture the intent of the original, just with much faster technology and better tools.
And then the better tools just scrape most of it, because it's considered then-a-days as "boring" and "not catchy". I recently ran some old songs through Suno. Sure, the tracks are catchy, but they scraped most of the buildup, intentionally overlapping sounds and noise and after listening to some originally different tracks, they kind of had the same beat and vibes in the newly generated tracks. Hope that gets better instead of worse.
Better tools, as in rendering technology and hardware, not as in like AI or something that would modify it. If they do it they need to keep the original format and only re-render the CGI components.
