Review: Lord of the Rings

i loved the cinematigraphy of LOTR's . i also liked liz forgot her last name in this movie i thought i wouldnt but she was a good actress

for a pg-13 movie i nearly pissd my pants in a couple scenes i beleive this is the best horror film this year even though its a fantasy movie . thats pretty bad for the horror genre

Saving Private Ryan is a joke of a movie, huh?

saving private ryan was your average war movie.....big battle scene at the beginning....nothing really again till the end....everyone dies except like 3 people...the end.

*ToMacco shakes his head in disbelief* You have no idea what you're talking about.

everything done in saving private ryan had been done by some other war movie in the past. it was like the gladiator of war films.

yes a joke of a movie ,the kind of movie that puzzles any half witted person on why it won so many awards

heh. .. . man. . . you guys have no idea what you're talking about.

Is Citizen Kane a bad movie, too?

How about Schindler's List?

Oh, by the way, The Wizard of Oz must suck, too, huh?

i dont understand what those movies have to do with saving private ryan.

yeah what do tey have to do with private ryan and an answer to your question YES !

citizen kane was good, theres no denying that it was a very very innovative film and one of the most important, but its aged horribly i think. ive never seen schindlers list, but ive been meaning too, and wizard of ozz is great.

I have no idea how this topic got so astray from the Lord of the Rings.

Saving Private Ryan was the first ABSALUTLY REALISTIC depiction of the D-Day invasion. WWII vets had to leave the theator becasue the opening scene was so realistic.

This film concentrated on how important a human life could be. Several men were willing to give their lives to save this one soldier.

Yeah, To is right. Remember, guys, this place is for reviews (and comments on them ot rhe film concerned) ONLY. This sort of thing should be in discussion.

To is not right. Saving Pr. Ryan was not good enough.

Ush:
how was the mine scenes in LOTR done?

Pretty darn well, if you can believe that dwarves would build something so high. Gimli also displays far more ignorance about what happened to Balin's kingdom than he did in the books, but this is for dramatic effect.

like ive said before lets get back to the important subject ,small naked children

I've now seen The Fellowship of the Ring.

I havn't read the books, and I had no idea what the movie was about, accept about a ring.

I really don't think there is much confusion. It does a pretty good job explaining why this ring was so powerful, and how it got into the hands of the main character.

Watching this movie, I felt it tried a little too hard to draw the audience into the entire saga. There is so much talk of other things going on, it sometimes slows the pace of the movie down, which I found frusterating at times.

I did find the danger that the fellowship ran into constantly to be repetative. They ran into too much trouble. And the movie was too long to not have a proper ending.

I'm only going to recommend this movie to certain people. I did like it, but I know many may not. And yet others are going to worshop this movie, and it's going to become a cult movie like Star Wars.

I definatly will see the next two, because the story has drawn me in enough where I want to know what happens. But this is not a movie I'm going to buy when it comes out on DVD and video.

(*** out of four stars)

The mine looked awesome...dark dark and LARGE.. but at the same time they didn't try to hang you up on the scenery...which would have slowed down the story..

Almost every movie fan I know has seen it now and the reaction is still mixed. Apart from women. I don't know any woman who loved it. Any here who did? Dim?

And can someone who's read the book answer this - In the book is it Gandalf who does that trick with the water when it sweeps away the Ringwraiths?

By the way, when I say mixed I don't mean "love it or hate it", I don't know anyone who hated it. But a lot of people didn't think it lived up to the hype that's all.
