Default I saw Lord of The Rings today....

Im not going to talk about the movie, because it sucked. The only time I was enjoying myself was during the previews and also when it finally got over. The previews were cool, because they had a GameCube preview, and a star wars episode 2 preview. The Gamecube preview was awsome, and they even showed footage of Star Fox, Mario Sunshine, and they Showed the Zelda logo(no footage, of course) It all just looked really nice up on the big screen. And if the preview for Star Wars tells me anything, it tells me that this one looks like it will be a lot better than Episode 1. It just looked really cool...maybe the movie wont be so cool, but after Episode 1, I wasnt even sure if I was going to go to see episode 2, but after seeing this preview, Im definately going to see it.

A reason why I didnt like LOTR? Well, I dunno...for one thing it was kinda hard to follow...and I like movies that I know what is going on. And Elisha Wood or whoever he is has to be gay, he just fricken has to be...and...3 hours is too long...there, there are my reasons, bring it on Angrist.

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.

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.

The movie was actually a very toned down version of the books. If you thought the movie was too hard to follow then I wouldn't read the books, because they are much more complicated.
