I have my DVD on playing the movie "Children of dune"

The Lord of the Rings reminds me of the battle between good and evil. I love the good side.

Harry 🙂

You LEARNED there was a 3rd movie??!😑

Tomb Raider is one of the worst movies I have ever seen, absolute filth.

LOTR is superior in every way, shape and form.

A comparison is absolutely silly.

Nobody is comparing Tomb Raider is just used has an example. Its not easy making a movie out of a video game. Theres not much there. Plus it keeps being compared to Indy and Bond which is what it is 😖

"It's not easy making a movie out of a game, there's not much there"

That should be evidence that the movie should NOT have been made.

Maybe. I enjoyed it. I love seeing Angie has Lara 😄

It's not that there isn't a lot to work with if people make a movie from a video game. With TOmb raider ypou can do anything. Mythical stories, folklore or even silly urban legends. And i think they did a better job with tomb raider than with LOTR. LOTR was very badky adapted but i understand why. LOTR is unbelievably complicated. Sure i loved all of them but a lot was left out. I know this would sound silly and EXPENSIVE but it should have ben six movies. Every book exists out of two books. (the copies i read were that way) When you compare TR vs. LOTR you could say they were both done just as bad or just as good. In th e end i loved them both.

We do talk about the movies but the idea of the threads isnt to compare the 2 movies, despite the title.

No matter what story they tell Lara Croft is the focus. Theres nobody else. Sure there are other actors but Croft is the only main character.Thats dificult.

Ugh...I can't believe you would even try and compare the two. Although Tomb Raider was well done, and I liked it a lot, it doesn't have ANYTHING on LOTR. LOTR is everything you want in a movie - adventure, fighting, cool weapons, romance, etc. The special effects were incredibly well but not over - done (come on - Gollum was pure genius. GENIUS!!!) like some other movies that won't be mentioned (*coughMATRIX RELOADEDcoughSTAR WARS I and IIcough*).

Honestly, LOTR was frickin' AWESOME. Even though it cut out a LOT of stuff (and added a lot of stuff in The Two Towers) from the books, they are awesome movies APART from the books (as in, even if I had never read the books, I would still love the movies). Aah! I could go on about it all day.

I don't think it should have been 6 movies, mainly because first of all, no studio would fund a project like that, and second, as much as I love the books, they do drag in places, especially in Book I. And why would anyone go and see the rest if they thought the very first movie was boring?

Coming back to the original topic, though I liked Tomb Raider a lot, I would pick LOTR over it ANY day.

For the thousand time this isnt comparing!
Dont go by the title.

i dont know how yas can giv it a second thought! (not ment affencive like)
LOTR was rubbish i couldnt sit through it, after the first half i couldnt watch the rest it was too boring.
tomb raider and tomb raider 2 was brilliant. i loved them both and angelina joely did a great job..... i think anyway. 😛
no 1 else could hav done as good a job as her,(yes as you have guessed i am i biggg angelina joely fan lol 😂 )
c yas later!!! 😉

my opinion

i thnk that the frst tomb raider movie was a bit boring
