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

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.

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.

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?
