Lord of the Rings movies suck, and i am not going to waste my time watching that crap

ProfessorNumber · 12-24-2003, 08:51 PM

Now, whenever a LOTR fanatic asks me if I liked the movie I usually just tell them that it rocked, to humor them.

BUT, in truth, the movies weren't particularly exciting. The special effects were nice, but nothing out of the ordinary for any big budget blockbuster. Once again, the plot is nothing special when you consider that there are a million other books/stories like it. I honestly have no clue why this trilogy has taken off the way it has.

In short, everytime I left the theater after watching one of these movies, I was left with a feeling of indifference. These movies certainly didn't suck, they just didn't do anything for me. I think the trilogy could be summed up by the word "mediocore".

To make things even worse, while I was watching the end of the Return Of The King, I actually found myself daydreaming, and every so often I would look up and wonder why the movie was still going on. It really began to piss me off after a while.

While I agree that the movie seemed to last for a little longer than necessary, that's simply because I have never read the books. However, I disagree with the fact that you are straight ProfessorNumber. The LOTR movies kick so much ass that I almost didn't have a job because of them. I'm usually the most kick ass person around, but that just got fucked to hell.

By the way, the only mediocore thing in this town is the music scene and the bands in it. Yes, we all know who I'm talking about.

I never even read the books myself, but ive always have thought that the LOTR triology is what got this who market started off in the first place. Tolkien created this fantasy world that has become so popular. Look at dungeons and dragons for example, nearly all of that game is based upon LOTRs. The races, the story behind the races, etc.
