I hate people that say lotr sucks, you ^%$^%$ nerds. If you say lotr sucks because its to long or what then the person will not get defensive. My friend hates it because he thinks it like harry potter and he really hates harry potter. I said there nothing wrong with that. BUT when he said mona lisa smile is better i was like NO!!!!!!. We argued for an hour, and came to the conclusion that he dosn't like any of my movies and i don't ike any of his. After we want to play soccer the end.

i don't get annoyed, i mean it's a matter of taste and it's their own opinions, and i respect that.
My enjoyment of watching the LotR movies does not get lessened by people who do NOT like it. And whatever was changed from the books to make an adaptation was done so well, I’m certain Tolkien would’ve agreed with it.
Some people think it’s too long. Well… ehrm… okay. Never let them watch the extended RotK which will be 4 h and 50 m long (hopefully it’ll be out before November 2004. I’ve heard a rumour it comes out early summer, as Jackson doesn’t have to make a fourth movie ready for Xmas next year).
People whose attentionspan is so short, they can’t keep track of the characters. Okay, their deal.
What annoys ME – personally – are the actual Tolkien fans, who dislike the movie, because it does not feature EVERYthing from the books, instead of judging the movie as an adaptation.
I think that everyone is intitled to an opinion but when people start really ripping it then thats just being plain nasty and you shouldnt bash other peoples opinions unless they r just being plain annoying.
i like the lord of the rings films and if others dont enjoy the films then fine but if they keep going on about it and starting an argument then god damn ill finish it for them!
I TRY not to get upset at ppl who do not like LOTR. It is not that I am in any way mad at them, I just wish that they could discover the wonderful world of Tolkien. I understand that not everyone can like the same stuff, so it doesnt' bother me when someone doesn't like the same things as I do. I do tell them why I enjoy Tolkien, but that is only because I enjoy learning about other ppl's intrests that I do not share. You never know where a door might open to a whole new world.
I myself am not a big StarWars fan, I enjoyed the original movies but have only seen them once in their totality. Therefor I have never been exposed to StarWars fans and all of their intrests. While wittleing away my 8 hrs of standing in line on Trilogy Tuesday, I met some very cool StarWars Fans who taught me alot.
my friend has seen lotr, but she thinks it is so boring, she likes it and all, but she has no favorite chacter, no favorite part, no favorite anything, and then when i start talking about how cool the ringwraiths are and stuff, she looks at me in this really annoying way, kinda like when a 1st grader finds out some one likes someone else, there eyes get all bright and they go "ooooooooo...you like so and soooo"
Hmm... I have a friend that doesn't like LOTR... but I took her to see the ROTK with me and she was talking and saying stupid things from beginning to end... and the end of the movie she took her cell phone and began to bother with it, I was so mad that i took her cellphone and I almost throw that thing to the first row. I had to see the movie again three days after because I didn't enjoy it the 17th because of my stupid friend... (¬_¬)

I agree with what you posted Aurora; people are entitled to their opinions about films etc. I, personally, have never spoken to a person about LOTR and found that they did not like the amazing trilogy.
I have, unfortunately, discovered people who loathe Star Wars. I'm a HUGE fan, obviously, and do get annoyed and upset when even my own friends "bag" me about it. ((Especially seeing as they've never even seen a second of any of the films, new or old.)) I shouldn't have to justify my liking Star Wars to the people around me.
People have the right to think what they want about LOTR or SW but they too have to understand and respect that others like those films.
Yes i get this quite often. People i know deliberately mock lotr when they know im a big fan. I try to ignore these arrogant fools, who dont appreciate the skill it takes to create such a masterpiece. Tolkien spent decades on lotr. The books are purely brilliant and the movies, of course, are also sensational. Anyone who disrepects lotr is arrogant, jealous or oblivious to the fact that lotr is the best!
im with who ever said that moulin rouge was an amazing movie, i mean DAMN did you see nicole kidman? jesus i would skin my self to get with her. someone else said they would rather go to the mall than watch a three hour movie. Well if your spending three hours at the mall reguarly you got some problems. even though i was dissapointed with the movies LOTR are still 3 hour movies that i can get into

Then your dad is blind, deaf, slow or just real ****ing stupid.
On non-fans?
I don't care wether or not people like the book. I can handle that some don't like it, but they won't get away with telling me that something I really like (maybe even love) is bad. I'll decide that for myself.
