Lord of The Ring
 
I Wonder if some have see them all three?

Aelia 11-27-2007 02:45 PM

Lord of the Rings? Yeah I've seen them all.

Fang Wolf 11-27-2007 02:47 PM

Which of them you Like??

Aelia 11-27-2007 02:48 PM

I liked Fellowship of the Ring the most.

Fang Wolf 11-27-2007 02:48 PM

Okkkiii...I Like Last of them, The Return of the King..

BubblyShell22 11-28-2007 11:20 AM

I've seen and own all three movies. They are all very good.

cqb101 11-28-2007 11:23 AM

I've also seen the LOTR saga. I really don't have a favorite, though most of the scenes I like are from Return of the King.

I've read and seen all three, but I haven't had the opportunity to watch all three movies straight in a row. My favorite of the movies...? I'm still not quite sure, though I know for sure it isn't Two Towers. That took a few more liberties with the story than I would have liked... mostly the thing with the Ents, which I could never figure out why that turn of events was preferred over how it was written.

I also missed the scouring of the Shire. Oh well... people who weren't familiar with the books were already complaining that there were too many "endings." And I guess Peter Jackson never liked it, though I can't figure why. :P

I don't live in a cave, so I've seen all three. The extended editions are definitely better than the regular cuts, and really, when a movie is 3+ hours long an extra 30~45 minutes doesn't make that much of a difference.

I tend to think of the trilogy as one long-ass movie, but if I had to pick one I'd say Fellowship is the best of the three.

Will somebody PLEASE add an "s" to the subject? (At the end of the word ring, you smartasses)

Aelia 11-28-2007 05:24 PM

Wait a minute. I thought this thread had been locked! :tconfuse:

Ah well, I'll just admit it. I really didn't like the films all that much and I haven't seen Two Towers or Return of the King entirely.

Someone thought my decision wasn't a very good one. And I refuse to put an S at the end.

Jo Dawn 11-28-2007 08:31 PM

Saw two of them, not by my choice. Wasn't thrilled so I never bothered with the third one.

Randall from Clerks 2 perfectly enacted the movies for me.

Peanut 11-28-2007 09:17 PM

Boy did Clerks 2 blow.

If you edited out the parts that weren't funny the movie would probably only be a half hour, if that.

I like "The Two Towers" the most out of the three.

Yeah, "three movies of people walking." As opposed to Smith's films of just people talking. :lol:

AquaParade 11-29-2007 05:34 PM

I had a hard time enjoying the first two, until I rented the third one and watched it three times.

I prefer talking to boring crap. ;) Especially when some of the talking is actually poignant.

I liked the ORIGINAL LoTR, the English movies from years ago. Couldn't get into these ones, though.

Huh? There were other movies? o_O

Do you perhaps mean the BBC radio dramas? The animated movies weren't too great IMO...

I wouldn't consider the LOTR movies "boring crap." I mean, sure, Frodo's trek through Middle-Earth got tiresome, but what director could make hiking interesting?

I remember the old animated movies. As I recall, they left more out of the story than Jackson's films. I also didn't like the character models used for the first one (Lord of the Rings). Aragorn a Native American? Boromir resembling Hagar the Horrible? Saruman the White wearing red? Nah, didn't feel right. Then with the second (Return of the King), not only did they just skip to the third part of the story, but it was so rushed that I was surprised it was longer than an hour. Other than the Orc "Whip" song, I really couldn't find anything else to like about it.

Masked Ninja 12-01-2007 01:00 PM

Haha, Bakshi's Lord of the Rings was bad on so many levels... especially from an animator's point of view. Bad rotoscoped garbage, a lot of it. It's like the old-school mo-cap. :P

That one's my personal favorite of the three as well, because it seemed to be closest to the books (although a lot of the beginning of the hobbits' adventure is cut out).

If I had to pick a least favorite, because they all kind of need one another to tell the whole story, it would be Two Towers. IMO they would have been better off cutting out all the Arwen stuff and the scenes of kids having to fight and putting Shelob as the ending.

Clerks 2 was an awesome movie IMO. Yes, it does get a little more sentimental than the original, but IMO it worked. These guys are supposed to be 10 years older, I think in a sequel it was important to demonstrate them trying to be a little more serious, but of course keep in the gross humor and pop culture references, because who wants to be completely mature?
