rdancer Posted December 26 Report Share Posted December 26 FLICK was really good, I wouldnt say it was the best movie of the year, but it was DEF. good. Im in the process of reading the books now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abstrakt Posted December 26 Author Report Share Posted December 26 The thing is that the movie just really dragged...the fighting scenes, effects and scenery (WOW) were top-notch. But as a whole I thought the movie wasn't that good, so many sappy moments and scenes that weren't relevant. I guess if I was a fan of the books, I would appreciate it much more but as a whole I didnt like it one bit...just my opinion though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nycmuzik Posted December 26 Report Share Posted December 26 The movie wasnt as good as people had hyped it up to be, but it's still alot better than some of the other crap that has come out recently. Anyway, I cant wait till Black Hawk Down comes out this Friday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codica3 Posted December 26 Report Share Posted December 26 Hmm.. I'm hearing a lotta mixed views about the movie, I guess I'll just have to go see it myself. I haven't read the trilogy, but I did read the Hobbit a while back..Well, on a side note, I'm feelin' the Dominator - Lord of the Rings song. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kandekyd18 Posted December 26 Report Share Posted December 26 Overall, I like the movie. Yes, it did drag a little, but that is what happens when the director wants to recreate the book exactly. If you read the book, the fighting scenes are rather short and quick while the traveling scenes are long, like in the movie. I found it fun and I can't wait until the next one.

montynyop Posted December 26 Report Share Posted December 26 did anyone who has read or is reading the trilogy take the time to read those poems and songs that the characters break into?they must rattle off a page of song for every three pages of novel.i tried for about the first quarter of the first book and decided to just skip over them since they gave me migraines!

t0nythelover Posted December 31 Report Share Posted December 31 it was definitely the greatest movie of the year. the only reason why someone would say that it dragged is if they didnt read the book. the language used in the book is masterful and would make you appreciate the movie soooo much more i cant even begin to explain why. it has a rich story and character development, think of it as english mythology for our century. my recommendation is to read the book first then you wont think it drags. i myself think the movie should have been longer cuz they left alot of stuff out.

barvybe Posted December 31 Report Share Posted December 31 Well, i really enjoyed it.I know the books inside and out, so it was a much richer tale for me than for someothers. I think that the movie really misses some of the character development and sorta becomes just a series of scenes that aren't connected all that well by character motivation, etc., unless u can fill the gaps in yourself from having read the books.Its pretty true to the books with a few exceptions, but the council of Elrond is a big cop out - that scene really sets up the motivation of all the characters and gives u background on them, their people, etc.So, read the books!!! I think an awesome job was done of making these considering how rich the original books are.so go read them if u haven't!!! and the first 100 pages are definitely the slowest so stick with it! The movie accurately quotes many of those poems btw.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airatomic Posted December 31 Report Share Posted December 31 i thought it was an awesome movie!i read the books when i was like 9 years old, so i forgot some of the stuff,but the movie definitely refreshed my memory and i will go read all the books all over again (starting wit "The Hobbit" because that was the begginning and does not deserve to be skipped over)i was sitting in my seat not wanting the movie to end, i would sit thru 6 more hours just to finish it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfiorellino Posted December 31 Report Share Posted December 31 I thought the movie was great. Although I also read all the Tolkien books. While they couldn't fit in everything in the movie, what do you expect a 12 hour film? I can't wait for "The Two Towers" to come out next year.

Since I didnt read the books, I thought that there would be a conclusion to the movie after 3 hours. Well I was wrong. Now I'm reading "The Two Towers" which is a pretty good book. Can't wait for the movie to come out...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
realz Posted December 31 Report Share Posted December 31 I thought the movie kicked ass and didnt drag one bit.It kept me in my seat (although my ass was hurting) waiting for the next scene. I give it a 4.5/5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
