almost all my friends love this film, but i cannot watch it, i mean to say i don't like it, and i haven't seen it is shit, so i tried to see, and it was boring so i stopped after 30 minutes to watch. I cannot understand my friends in that point |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
just imagine that whenever orcs are about the imperial march is playing or when someone does something heroic (like when sam shows up to save frodo from shelob) that the indiana jones theme is playing...makes it all so much more interesting |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
make a point. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and listen: my bestfriend wanna watch lord of the rings part one and two with me in order to show me how great the film is. Hope we are watching the film in darkness and i can fall asleep soon |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
Okay. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

thats pathetic, you only watched 30 minutes and all of a sudden you don't like Lord of the Rings? Maybe if you got past the set up of the story you might get into it, but that means you'd have to keep attention for more than 30 mins. You might be interested to know that the first 30 mins is completely different than the rest of the movie. |

I liked the three films, the first one is still my favourite (the less exagerated) not bad movies at all... very mainstream of course |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i mean, i don't intend to watch terminator 3 too, because there was the whole advertisment shit, and you are full of that after a time. Lord of the rings is fantasy, maybe i am not keen on fantasy films? (?_?) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
(the less exagerated) actually there's nothing exeggarated about two towers and return of the king, it's all in the books basically. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
not all of it, some scenes were added for dramatic purposes... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
surfing legolas legolas and elephant climbing didnt read that in the books |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
let's not forget legolas being all cocky about it afterwards |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

Lets face it the books aren't perfect, especially character wise. A few additions by Peter Jackson are welcome. If LotR is the only fantasy you've read then your missing out. A Song of Ice and Fire by George R R Martin is easily better than LotR. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I prefered the third film actually. I would suggest you watch the films, then make your judgement. Even if you don't like it, the special effects are very good. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
do you read Feist as well? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Whats that? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
fantasy books i think the guy who writes em is called Feist cant remember .. :S |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
however in the books, they did mention he was very agile and stuff |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
is he the one that wrote Magician? I keep hearing how excele that is. I'll be reading it soon probably. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ursula Le Guin - Earthsea is excelent fantasy too, there are so many besides LotR. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you needed 30 minutes? :) i saw some promotional pictures, and well, they kind of turned me off of it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
lotr is good, but overrated. It's visually the most impressive film i've seen but, just like blowfield, i think that i am not too keen on fantasy films. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, i mean, of promotional pictures maybe the film is much better than the prom. pics, so i gave the film a chance, in order to build an opinion, and it sucked, indeed! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you can't build an opinion on a film after watching 30 mins, especially when that 30 minutes are completely different than the other 3 hours of the film. maybe its like you said, you just don't like fantasy? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so you give me the advice to skip the first 30 minutes in order to enjoy the rest of the film without knowing the essential information of the first 30 minutes boredom? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if you don't like fantasy you won't like the film, but anyway why not watch the whole film first before coming to conclusions. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
bc i don't feel like watching after the boring 30 minutes at the beginning!!! You won't believe it but i also tried to read the book. first 200 pages then i stopped. it was uninteresting |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
*Jerry Springer audience style* BOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that's not what I would call exaggerating, that's more of an entertainment factor. Exeggerating would be if they blow anything out of proportion according to the original material. That is not the case with TTT and ROTK. |

Im quite with you here...see I really enjoyed the books, (not as much as some lovecraft's stuff tho) but I cant understand how Peter Jackson, this great film maker did it like that... I mean it could have been so much sweeter to have it done with some "old" roots feelings, I mean with a real soul.... It looks all a little too comercialized for my tastes...didnt really like the special effects in the 2 movies Ive seen (didnt see return of the king) especially in the second one, I didnt like the Ents, and some of the creatures didnt fit at all, the worst is the gollum IMO... and worst thing will be his next movie in preparation : King Kong the world is going so so so so so insane... *watches bad taste and cries" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"the worst is the gollum IMO" wow, well i must say thats the first time i've ever heard someone say that. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah I know but I dont care its so true, its so much look like a digital shit running on the screen.... but i must say the hobbits and elfians were kick ass the dwarf too... just the digital stuff bothered me but it always do...anyway its not a good film to me... dont even talk about trilogy here... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

One thing I hate about these movies. They aren't cozy. That's what I like about fantasy stuff. They left out Bombadil which was an invitation for cozy. The hobbuit hole was hardly in it. They could have really stretched that out. The pub scene in the first was too short and not that cozy...Fantasy cozy, not fantasy fight simulations. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if you want cozy I suggest you give Teletubbies a try, otherwise realize that there never was annything cozy about Lord of the Rings save for the first chapters taking place in hobbiton which serve as a necessary introduction and contrast to the things to come. From the moment those black riders show up it's straight hell and hardship for the fellowship. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh yeah good point... and an animatronic gollum :P they could do kickass animatronics nowaday im sure :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no I think I know what you mean bogala... with Tolkien books, its like you know each character very well in a sort of intmate cozy way... sort of.... we could compare it to the sensations the movie "dark crystal" gives, its far away from lord of the rings... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

LOTR rules... |

"Certainty of death, small chance of success, what are we waiting for!" :) |

| |||||||||
|
|
It certainly does, my precious! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, even the dark riders. When I read the book I'm the hobbit looking up. I don't know. Yeah, the hobbit was my favorite. Maybe they'll do a good cozy job on that one. The lotr's films I think were done from a warrior percpective. There are people who camp out for weeks in the woods and dress up in chainmail and shit. Practice fighting techniques. These films were for those people I think. |
