Just be aware that "Peace" has absolutely nothing to do with "War". It's merely "in the spirit of" "War"....Whatever....
Still pretty good, though.

I fell asleep during the first and second movies, dont think I'll see the third.
It's pretty easy to ruin a good sci-fi/fantasy book for example... Battlefield Earth (one of the greatest sci-fi books ever, IMHO) turned into the worst movie ever made. I dont think it ever COULD be correctly done as a movie. I hear they are making a movie for Stranger in a Strange Land. Im scared |

Wife and I liked the first two LOTR and looking forward to seeing the latest. Like the special effects and characters - neither of us have ever read the books. You could do worse... |

You want hard, try making "Geek Love" into a movie. I betcha' it's impossible, even with all the special effects out there.

I liked ROTK (and the others). Mind you, it was made here, by NZers, and we get almost constant brainwashing about it (it has had a high media profile). Still, it is easy to say it doesn't seem that great, but I for one would find it pretty difficult to deliver constructive criticism. A lot of the hokey dialogue it straight from the books.

As long as they cut the 6,000 pages from the book after the hobbits get home I will call the movie a success.
