[dimsum]

downloaded on Lord of the Rings the movie looks real nice. anyone into this?
Looks like is going to be 3 movies.

 

[glen]

yes

Jesus dude I cant wait! It looks awesome. And they are gonna make it into a trilogy! Im stoked. Ive beenr reading the books now for about 2 months and its amazing. Tolkien has one helluva imagination. Have you guys read these books? If your into fantasy, check these out. Its where fantasy was BORN...

 

[Azraele]

It's definately a 'must see' for me. I wonder how true it will be to the books.

 

[dimsum]

I read it about 10 years ago.. kinda remember what happened, so will read it again! cool stuff
wish they have more wall paper though...

 

[GrimReefer]

Anyone ever read the Hobbit and if so, how was it compared to LOTR?

 

Hobbit is like a prelude to LOTR.
Nothing really in comparison to the trilogy.
It was a good trilogy, I havn't read it in years.
Im currently starting the Dune trilogy. again

 

[ddiccico]

LOTR is so much better than the Hobbit. The Hobbit seems like more of a children's story.

 

[GrimReefer]

Any of you read Harry Potter? Pretty damn good actually for being a childrens book...

 

[Pyxis]

Can't wait for the movie, the previews look fresh. I have to buy the books soon, I've never read any of Tolkien's books. Does anyone know if I should read the Hobbit first then the rings trilogy or it doesn't matter?

<< I wonder how true it will be to the books. >>

How can it be? Tolkein's works are open to severe interpretation. Get 5 people to read a few chapters and ask them to describe the environs and characters. Five different answers baby.

Still I'm cautiously looking forward to the flicks.

 

[GrimReefer]

JB, I totally agree with you man. Ive read some interviews with Tolkien and he says that everyone interprets his work differently. Its so open to different perceptions. Thats what makes his work so incredibly badass

No.







Bwahahahahahahaahahahahahhahaha....

Definetly read the hobbit first.I gives a good foundation for the Lord of The Rings story.I grew up on these books.The wait for the movie is killin me!

 

[dimsum]

how do you think they are filming it? it said 2003 christmas!

think do it all at once or three different/sperated sessions of filming

 

[GrimReefer]

&quot;No.&quot;


....bastard!

 

[SackOfAllTrades]

dunno...got pretty psyched when Dungeons and Dragons came out...then i saw the movie. I'll wait till some reviews come in for this one.

 

[Elledan]

The Matrix seems nearly irrelevant compared to those three movies


<< Any of you read Harry Potter? Pretty damn good actually for being a childrens book...>>

I've read a few chapters of the latest Harry Potter book and man, it was just pathetic...
C'mon, it's a children's book, and in no way matches the superiority of LotR or the DragonLance Saga/Forgotten Realms series.

 

[dimsum]

doesn't the lord of the rings comes in a comic verison?

Let's see,

I've read the trilogy 3 times.
I've been following the production of the movie for almost 10 months now.
I've watched both trailers about 50 times each.

Saying I'm looking forward to these movies is a gross understatement!!



<< dunno...got pretty psyched when Dungeons and Dragons came out...then i saw the movie. I'll wait till some reviews come in for this one. >>


WTF? I am offended! How can you put LOTR in the same category as this garbage. They spent 18 months filming it, and now 12 months of post-production for each of the 3 films. Dungeons and Dragons was probably done in a few months and they had no intent to keeping it true to D&amp;D...please, I could even tell that from the trailers.
The director of LOTR is a huge fan himself and everything in the movie is directly from the book. There are some new parts he's adding, such as expanding on the Aragorn/Arwen story, but even then...he takes it all from the Appendices!
I really think they will NOT f*ck up these films. Too much work, and almost $300 million dollars has been put into them. I've read stuff written by people who worked on the set and it all looks good to me. Not only that, but they did an amazing job on the casting.

 

[demenion]

I will see it, but have not read the books...

 

[kami]

Read the books for the love of God!!!!!!! Anyone who sees this without reading the books needs to be taken out and beaten with a wooden spoon!

 

[JellyBaby]

Hehe, well at least read The Hobbit.

 

[BigSmooth]

What? People on a &quot;Computer Hardware Discussion Forum&quot; also like Tolkien's work? :Q

Well, paint me blue and call me Shirley! I just can't believe it!
