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 , 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.

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.

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...

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.....

A very wise statement. Good point.
