Yes

thanks for answering for everyone, asswipe

personally the pleasure in frodo's face when he kissed sam's head pushed me over the edge..I will never watch this series again.

You are projecting your homophobia onto this movie. Too bad you let it ruin your enjoyment of the movie for you.

I was disappointed in a few things, but it was primarily my fault. I watched the trailer dozens of times, and for whatever reason I had the music during the trailer ingrained in my head for those scenes. When I actually saw the scenes in the movie they seemed somewhat anticlimactic. I just happen to love the music used in the trailer, and I didn't hear it during the movie.

You mean the Reqiuem for a Dream theme music? I feel the same way... it's an incredibly powerful song... so powerful that it makes the trailers far more emotional than the movie itself. ROTK needed a huge, epic song like that, and unfortunately, it didn't get one - in my opinion, the music was quite average. It was still a fantastic movie by all accounts, but without music like that, there were none of those scenes so powerful that you just want to cry.

I'm still gunning for Best Picture, but what else would a New Zealander have to say about it?

i agree that bentwookie is an obvious Homophobe, but my least favorite character in the whole series was Elijah Wood as Frodo. i thought he sucked as Frodo pretty much the whole series.

I can't think of anyone else who could have played Frodo. Elijah Wood isn't a great actor, but I think he did a good job with the character. Who do you think would have been better in that role?

You are a strange little man, strange in the Jeffrey Dahmer kind of way.

i'm not sure.

to me, elijah wood was never frodo in the sense that sean astin was Sam, almost the whole cast was EXCELLENT except frodo. elijah wood seemed too young to play the part.

he was too wide eyed and bewildered looking throughout the whole movie.

I was real disappointed with this movie. I didn't like it at all, nothing like the first two.

Another great post. You guys that jump on the hater bandwagon are simply ridiculous. As for LOTR, I guess Im just not all that impressed. The story line could have been better, to predictable, to happy of an ending, and no big show downs between any of the main characters. Fight scenes did look extremely good though.

How many times did Roosevelt and Hitler get together for a big gunfight? How about George Washington and King George? How about George Bush and Saddam Hussein?

Wow. Life sucks.

Much like the final Matrix movie I was grossly disappointed. I thought the storyline had set up soooo much more. Kinda like in The Matrix where I thought there coulda been some much better battles, and so many more great fight scenes instead of all the crap... well anyway this is about LOTR....



Is there anyone else whose as bummed as me about not getting to see saruman? (Let alone watch him fight?) Or about the chessy way that the Nazgul dude was killed? I mean come on, I wanted to see him kick some major as$ first. Besides, I thought he couldn't be killed by any man (aka VERY HARD to kill?) A fricken hobbit stabbed him in the angle which caused him to sit there as some chick stabbed him in the face? WTF thats just lame. And what about the king, with his big arse sword. I know someone wanted to watch him use that thing, in a real battle. Why not have one or two of the main evil characters vs. a few of the good ones. Instead all we saw (yes good, but limited) were tons of foot soldiers if you will, massacering each other (sp?). And then the one last thing I have to gripe about is the predictability of it. Ya I know, everyone could have known the ending, read the books. However, I just didn't, I had no clue how the story was going to end. But all the battles in all the movies played out the same. One force is winning, until backup arrives at the last second and turns the tide, yada yada rinse and repeat.



Cliffnotes: No great battle scenes between main good vs evil characters.
Chessy deaths, with no saruman at all.
To predictable
To many uneccessary parts that were to drawn out.



Oh well whatever, sorry for yet another LOTR thread.

Yup, ROTK sucked. And here's more specifics

Funny! Reviewers liked it and lots of people liked the movie. I could find links for all of the threads from here, and other forums, where people talk about how great the movie is.

My fiancee dragged me to this movie (I never saw the other LOTRs)... and while I can appreciate everything that went into all the action scenes... the MOST ANNOYING THING ever was how Frodo(sp?) spent more time on his back than a $10 whore.

So Jedi Knight (snicker) what is a better Sci Fi/Fantasy Movie?

 

[jamison]

I thought it was a good movie...but best ever (as some people preached before I went to see it) - absolutely not.

I think it would have been the best movie ever, had I not seen the first and second films, plus seeing all three at the same time. Imagine how awesome that would be?

Also, my theater sucked, the screen was considerably blurry and I asked a friend if it was my eyes or the screen/projector, he said the screen was horrible.

 

[Gujski]

I was dissapointed in not seeing the mouth of Sauron scene at the black gate, when they bring out Frodo's mithril vest. I liked that part in the book.

 

[Chelsey]

I think that the ending kind of sucked. Yes, they did follow the book very closely, but the ending was too drawn out. I personally was ready for the movie to be over.
