Lord of the Rings

Le Rack

This is probably up here already somewhere, but I'm putting it up anyway.

I regret to say that I've never read the books, I tried but found them very heavy going, but I do love the movies, Pete Jackson is legend in himself!

I watched all three fully extended versions yesterday, started between 2:30 and 3pm and finished at 1:55am, thats a lot of watching but definately well worth it!

Both are bril.

If only all girls were like you....

Films are great though, one or two dodgey moments but nothing can tarnish the overall brilliance of the trilogy. I'm talking movies....never read the books to be honest, and I'm sick to death of people telling me "Oh you can't even bother giving an opinion on the movies without reading the books", or "Oh right, your not really a fan really then are you" "blah blah" etc.

Le Rack

shucks I am great aren't I!
Well yeah never read the books but I still love it and to all those utter whorshippers I do apologise for not reading the books!

Gay hobbit pr0n, tbh.

Apology accepted.

The books, yes legendary. The films, legendery to a much much lesser degree.

Le Rack

yeah but I found tha books to heavy.... but I'm very strongly led to believe they too are extremely legend

grimloch

They define the very parameters of legendary.

I command you to read it.

Le Rack

But I tried and it was so difficult

KnowItAll

The films were great and so were the actors.

Try?
Frodo tried!
And did he give up when things got difficult?
No.
Did he just give up in the face off overwhelming odds?
No
DID HE GIVE UP DESPITE BEING CONTINUALLY THOUGHT OF AS "ONE EH' THEM GAY HOBBITS"?
NO!

He continued on!
And then he went a little wacko and nearly fell into a steaming pile of lava.ut lets not fret about that

But none the less he didnt give up!

I read all books and watched all films an average of 3 times each. Classics in themselves.
Would recommend them to anyone. If you havent seen em off course, or read em. :rolleyes:

I know exactly what you mean. It does take awhile to get going. Dont get me wrong the books are class but bits of them just dont need to be there.

eg. the first three chapters are shíte(I think it's the first three, basically bilbo's party and all that crap. 10 mins in the film... fúcking ages in the book). Then there's Tom Bombadil. omg I hate that guy/thing/yoke. waste of space.

overall both books and films are brilliant. Dont think I've seen a better film than 'The Return of the king'

that guy just simply rocks! and should be a legend of boards himself.


if you dont like the style of wring in this book,try the silmarillion,heh.

IceHawk

Yeah, Tom Bombadil should have been in the films, even if that meant the first one had to be five hours long. The films are really a credit to Peter Jackson and his devotion to the story though. He really put as many details in there as possible. I'm really looking forward to King Kong now

butters scotch

i loved the books and the movies. although imo i think that the extended version of the return of the king is better than the original but still great

kawaii

Just the books. No movie could truely capture such atmosphere...

Read those books Rach!
