LotR had three movies, all of which got extended editions. Same with the Hobbit series. Based on bestseller books.While, all things considered, Warcraft was just a video game film. More shallow. Still enjoyed it a great deal for what it was.
We need more fantasy movies like it. And hopefully no more like Eragon.

I wouldn't be surprised if you found something to like in 40k. Lots of varied and interesting antagonist/villain characters. Though I suppose that is to be expected when arguably the nicest major faction, the Tau, lead an almost psychotically cult-like caste society, and have any humans who join their empire sterilised so that they can keep strict controls on the population. Everyone else, including the actual human empire, the Imperium, are arguably far worse (the Imperial Inquisition will condemn entire planets full of innocents to death just to keep a secret it doesn't want the common citizens to know, for example).And they have like 10,000 years, in terms of time frame, to play with, as things stretch from the 31st to the 41st millennium (well, technically, it goes back further, but not many details about pre-Unification/Great Crusade times exist). So, there is no shortage of material to work with.

lol not if Games Workshop/Black Library actually had control over it. We'd be senile old people by the time they got to the assault on Terra. We'd first have 20 filler movies about Drop Site Massacre survivors doing ultimately relatively inconsequential things in the grand scheme of the Heresy, if the books are anything to go by.
Seriously, those greedy bastards really are milking that series to the point of it becoming painful. Which is why I loved the Beast Arises series. The books literally dropped each month. Even that would be awesome to see. The War of the Beast.
Originally posted by StiltmanFTWI find them to be great and want to leave them as they are. I’m not excited about amazon continuing on with Lotr. I’d rather have other unexplored fictional worlds explored than the same ones already brilliantly done being dug up.
He is. Too bad he can't make more.Yeah, it's not likely.
Originally posted by StiltmanFTWI respect PJ for bringing my favorite literary IP to the big screen when no one else could/would. That being said he got worse EVERY MOVIE. Perhaps RoTK Theatrical release was better than The Two Towers Theatrical release, but the extended editions of each film going all the way through the Hobbit series were increasingly worse. I honestly wouldn't want him involved in ANYTHING LoTR anymore. He's lost his touch.

That being said The Fellowship of the Ring is maybe my all time favorite film. It's a masterpiece.
Originally posted by quanchi112They were all shot together..which is strange to me then that he decided to get further away from the books in every movie. Granted Tom Bombadil and the Barrow Wights weren't in FOTR, as well as some other stuff...but man.. RoTK extended edition really tarnishes Jackson in my eyes. Gandalf getting bitched out by Witch King, then Gandalf getting bitched out in the Hobbit series as well as Galadriel getting WAY, WAAAAY overdone. Yah, I don't want him near LOTR anymore.
Fotr was my fave and I believe they were all shot together then spliced up. Hobbit trilogy was still awesome to me and I adored Azog. To me Lotr is Peter Jackson or bust until someone proves otherwise.

Oh yeah, I agree. His writing was awesome, like a poor man's Zelda.

Pretty sure Jackson doesn't want to do LOTR anymore either. Hell from what I understand he didn't really want to do The Hobbit movies either, but felt he had to because he couldn't find another director. I would have really loved seeing Del Torro do The Hobbit films as was originally intended.
Originally posted by BackFireYah, it would have at least preserved Jackson's incredible trilogy and given us something new. Instead we got 95% made up shit and 5% accuracy in the shortest book in the series.
