crikey talk about a LOTR fanboy.  gman you\'re just on a nerd high from seeing ROTK, it\'ll pass in a couple of weeks.

ROTK was an excellent movie but Seven Samurai > LOTR *.  One review made a funny of how Peter Jackson didn\'t know which ending to use for the movie so he threw in all 12.

Sigh... Just enjoy your movies and stop this friggin lame ass, "i know more then you" bullshit. Gezz, people talk about getting told what to like, when they\'re doing it to other people themselves.  Talk about friggin contradictions..


Again, just enjoy your films. If 1 person likes something more then others, who gives a f@#k..

carry on.

Exactly.
I love the contradiction and theory that if you have a low budget, the movie is going to be better than if you have a higher budget.

I like when people compare completely different things...:rolleyes:

I couldn\'t even enjoy the damn movie because the lady behind me had the most annoying laugh I\'d ever heard...and they didn\'t turn the lights off until halfway through the movie...and some dumb ass lady was yelling out Star Wars trivia to her friends sitting 2 rows behind her...and people were dressed like characters from the movie...ugh...I could go on. Oh yeah...everyone in line was playing some sort of LOTR pokemon game.

And I\'ve never even seen "Seven Samurais"...:/

people were dressed like characters from the movie

Is this a problem for you?
I see no problem with that.
It\'s like me saying I could not enjoy a concert, because someone had the bands T-SHIRT on.

Esvercation X, do you live in new york?

Because they left the lights on when i saw it too...  MAYBE YOU WERE THERE!!!

tolkien was jack shit to do with the movie EXCEPT providing a guideline for peter jackson to spend 4239857 billion dollars in production value.

lets see lotr without CG, what you have then?
i could have swore fanboy\'ism was dead

dont forget where peter jackson came from

1)Tolkien wrote a masterpiece.
2)Seeing lotr without good effects its like reading the LOTR trilogy and imagining plastic dragons, plastic looking monsters coming from power rangers or an old Godzilla movie ,stupid looking things like fire that doesnt look like fire etc.The movie had to show the beauty of the world tolkien has created.Those effects were NEEDED to SHOW the  beauty of the world CREATED by Tolkien who has IMAGINATION.Do you have?I mean if everyone thought the way you do fantasy movies shouldnt exist becuase they need effects :rolleyes:
3)The actors and their roles were perfect
4)It was emotionally intense.The Matrix trillogy had tons of superbly made effects.But it lacked this.Or do effects manage this and I didnt know?
YOU BELIEVE THAT THE MOVIE WAS LIKED JUST BECAUSE OF ITS EFFECTS?
The movie was great as a whole.Not just because of its effects.

Note 2 Self: Watch Seven Samurais

Wow. I watched it today, and it was one of the best audiences I have ever been in. Only 2 cell phones rang, and they promptly shut them off. Not a peep out of the people. Only one kid cried for about 2 minutes. Then the parent took the kid out. Overall a great experience.

So far as seven samaraui goes. Sure it is a classic. That does not mean that LOTR can not be one. I am somewhat concerned how well this movie will look in 20 years. CG has had a habit of aging poorly.

That\'s not what I meant...at the last LOTR I went to...everyone had kick ass costumes. These people were just lame. One guy just had a stick and kept yelling out lines from the book...I was in line for 2 1/2 hours...and I didn\'t need the weirdness that was going on in the line.

How does the original Star Wars still look? Yes, it\'s dated, but in the end, you get lost in the story and actors and I think that is how the LOTR trilogy will be.

EWOKS. Need I say more. besides there was no cg there. The old style of puppets and costumes tend to age better. Think more on the line of Lawnmower man.

And Mark Hamilton with 70\'s hair is always a hit.
