I've heard borderline "ok" responses on why LOTR isn't that great, I don't agree, but they're fair responses. That crap I just read is the poorest excuse fro not liking a movie ever. Basically you're saying that you're too stupid to understand the movie, or understand any of the emotion with it. I'm not going to tell you to **** off, because you're probably too young to understand, and that's fair. That's all i have to say.

Ever think they just didn't like it? Do we always need a reason? We all have different interests. Look at :unsure:, he doesn't like the history channel. Finds that stuff boring as hell. I love the old war docs. It's just interests.

Same thing applies to games and movies. If we don't like it, we don't like it. I mean, we're not movie critics complaining because of bad directing or something. We just have different interests.

I can't stand Gone With the Wind. I can't give a good reason why, I'm sure it's a great movie, I just don't like it.

Books...never heard of em...

wait...those things we use in school you mean?

There that'll learn the little bugger. The film is great, or do you prefer Harry Potter.

The film is great but not half as good as the book, now where did that topic get to.

Apparent;y next to the book the movie sucks... maybe see the movies before you read the book... ;)

Hey! What's this about me killing Jason1?? I don't like to hear that somebody doesn't like it (I only know of 4 now), but it's his opinion.
I can understand that some people can't catch up with the story...
But why do you think Elijah Wood is gay?? He played the roll just the way he should have. (And Tolkien describes Hobbits as 'gay' people, but back then gay had the meaning of cheer or something).

So... I'm not THAT kind of Tolkien fan... ;)

I thought the movie was, good, but then again, ive never even read the books. Right now i am reading Rainbow Six By Tom Clancey, its actually a really good book!

Well, I started to wonder with Frodo and Sam in the 2nd and 3rd book...

:unsure:

Why do I think hes gay...I dunno...just look at him...that tells me all I need to know...

OK, I shouldnt judge by looks alone. But I do. Sue me.

Everyone has different likings.

Well I think it is a wonderful and maybe one of the best, if not THE best. Of course its different from the books, it has to be to be able to make sense on the big screen.

And I think only Sam is gay.....

heh, well the problem is you can tell the story was made for books, not the big screen. It loses something in the translation. Action scenes that I'm sure took up several pages in the book last only a couple min in the movie. It just doesn't flow the same way.

A very wise statement. Good point.
