Title: LOTR is over
Post by: psyjax on 17 December 2003, 12:31

Well, the end had to come sometime.

Just got back from the late night debute. It was incredible. A bit long winded in parts, and the end draged a bit, yet none the less a masterpice.

Jackson took some liberties with the story, more than the other installments. Yet he stayed true to almost everything.

Go see it! And post your coments here.

Never saw the first one. Never saw the second one. Never planning on seeign the third one. LOTR just really did not entertain me very much. Also spending a good 10 hours of my liefe just to watch all 3 dosent appelen to me.

you never saw it but it doesn't entertain you? are you talking about the book? cuz I found the movies much more enjoyable than the book. The book gave me heacaches and got me bored quickly. Which I guess is why I stopped like 30 pages into it.

you can't stop reading a book at 30 pages, thats not near enough time to get into the actual story and shit

I know, i just couldn't get into the book. The movies are a bit hard to watch sometimes, but they're still good.

I like both the books and the movies. I think they are both epic, and wonderfull in their own right. The books are a bit deeper with more reflection on the characters, humanity, and the meaning of everything.

They are a bit hard to read in parts, not so much due to the language, as to the maticulous detil. LOTR is the best fantasy novel ever. The movies are the best fantasy fuilms.

I made sure not to read any of the books because of the frustration I see in my friends when the movie is slightly different. I also wanted to judge them alone as movies, but now that I have seen all three I'll read the books.

Definitely some of the best movies ever made.

But did you hear about Peter Jackson's next project? King Kong???   :confused:

I didn't know that. I actualy heard he was gonna be involved in a live action version of Evangelion. Recent Rumer says NewLine green-lighted him to make The Hobbit.

But the lord the Tolkien's works doesn't want him to. Doesn't want him to make a lil' museum of movie props and stuff, either. Crazy bastard.

luckily Jackson and New Line bought the rights to use *everything* when they started... which means they can make it, without regard

btw, I thought Jackson wanted to do a sequel to one of his greatest hits of all time: THE DEAD NEXT DOOR

Meh. All the interviews I read say the rights are rather complicated right now.
