Lord of the Rings

lotr

The movie was blazin. I read the book right before I went to see it, and the movie follows very closely. Definitely worth admission.

good movie, i especially like the fight scenes in the beginning. i want to see it again. my only complaint was that it was a little boring at times but so is the book.

Great movie. Most of the elf scenes were weird, and the hobbits weren't as fat as I expected, but the scenery was tremendous. All the battle scenes were great, and you could really feel the lead characters as real people, flaws and all. Boromir and Frodo especially. I read a review in Newsweek that nailed it... the director was definitely more comfortable with the 'dark' scenes. No JarJar Binks or Ewok-type characters here. I'm definitely gonna see it a few more times.

BTW that lineup had THE MOST nerds I've ever seen in any one place. Or ever hope to see again.

Saw it Wednesday night

I saw the 10:30p.m. show even though I had to go to work the next morning. I read the books when I was a kid so I went into this drawing nearly a blank. It was excellent enough to keep me in the seat until it ended at 1:30. I loved the scene in the dwarven mines. I will see it again, just not during Christmas week. MuSuLPhReAk ditch the relatives if you have to- just go!

The "Stars Wars" of its time, awesome movie. I will go to the theater to see it again.

I'm so happy I only wasted $8 for the movie instead of $20+ for the book. Awesome graphics + awesome sound does not necessarily = good movie.

It REALLY dragged at times and Frodo looked like a goon. There was virtually no attachment to the characters... they could have all died and I would have felt nothing. Gandalf was portrayed as a pathetic wimp... isn't he supposed to be a level 40 wizard or something? The evil wizard mopped the floor with him. Gandalf's best magic was some fucking fireworks.

What about that little romance between the ranger and the elf? They took a quick 10 seconds to say "oh I'm giving up my immortality to be with you" and then we never hear from them again. Why bother mentioning it? Please don't tell me "oh you'll hear more about it in the other movies" - I paid for this one.

The ending quite sucked. "Perhaps we will." Uhh, no. Perhaps I won't pay to see the next installment. =)

Good notes - great sound, great effects, excellent battle scenes, villains, villains' henchmen, and other monsters looked awesome.

Bad notes - too long. too dragging.

Recommendations - Watch Harry Potter.
