when you watch it,
1) during a wide fight scene, stand up and exclaim "Where's Waldo?"
2) laugh and point every time someone dies 3) wonder out loud if the hobbit will run for the governor of california
4) wait until the end and say "lucas could have done a better job".
5) open a jar of moths during an epic scene
somebody else made these up

Why in the hell do people go to the theatre anyway? I still have plenty of movies I havn't seen available on dvd/vhs from like, 1989. Same goes for videogames. Morons are buying playstion 2's for like 600 buck (including games) while I'll wait until the same lot is 50 bucks on ebay.

when I go to the theater I eat my popcorn and candy really loud and smack my lips together, and make loud noises with my drink and stuff, and talk during the movie a lot, because I like to make people turn around and tell me to be quiet, and then totally not be, and keep at being louder.
wMw: you could have done what I did and get a stolen PS2 for like 100 bucks brand new, almost 3 years ago now when they were 550$. it even came with a game. brand new in the box ps2 and all.

If you're going to end up doing something illegal anyway, it seems you might as well go all the way and steal it yourself without having to pay the hundred bucks.

this was AMAZING...
i KNEW when i first heard about peter jackson doing these that he was the guy for the job.
the climax at mt. doom (some of you knwo what i mean) had me TOTALLY gripping my seat armwrests.
id discuss details, but i dont want to spoil it for those who've never read the books/haven't seen it.
breathtaking.
the ending was a tiny bit long, but thats ok. it's wrapping up 3 films, so it's cool.
wow. this one really feels like you've gone through something BIG and come out the other end.
bravo!

Really enjoyed it. Beautifully shot, of course, and the sound design stood out a lot more in this one to me. Lots of cool sounds here and there.

awesome film, and i dont usually even like/watch these kinda big budget american films
stupidest line in the film goes to legolas, when aragon has just been banging on about distracting the enemy, and 5 mins later legolas goes: yes, a diversion!

num 3 has to be better cos it actually has an ending after 3 fucking hours of bladder bursting torture rather than just stopping at an arbitrary cut off point. fuck that pissed me off so much with the other 2.

I thought it was fucking great. I am a huge fan of the books so of course i was dissapointed about some of the things ommited or changed in the movie. but as a film, i think it works very effectively, remaining very loyal to the themes of the source material. and presenting the world and its characters in a very believable fashion, something that is critical to the text.
it is long, and i noticed the audience becoming restless, but i think the length is necessary to avoid cheating the audience. all the loose ends are tied up and all the major themes are addressed.

i loved it. the part where pippin sings for the steward i was all "nononono NONONO NOOOO SINGING" but then it turned out to be really artsy and awesome and stuff (the disgusting food consumption did it for me).
the makup for "part-way" smeagol was too bulky.
legolas pisses me off, in the second film it was him surfing down the stairs in this one it was him taking down an oliphant. i only like it when he does little cool things (like grab the horse in mid sprint and flip up onto it).
the ending wasn't too long considering what the real ending is (which i really wanted to see). they should have killed solomon like they did in the book.
frodo smiled for too long at the end.
but anyway it was awesome, TOTALLY (except those parts i mentioned)

I also thought the singing was done very well.. the way it kind-of fades into the soundtrack, adding to the cinematic score. Especially, considering how important singing and storytelling are in the books, i was glad to see it worked into the film without being awkward. something like that, not done correctly could become distracting and comical.
yeh, i likey.

but this is what à say do you think it is good than? i dont know. besides the story star wars is something new visually, for me lotr visually is just big and maybe nice to look at but, for me, not in a matrix 1, artfully, kind of way,
i hate it, it's just computers, and, as we know, you can make soulful kind of things with computers too
