Wooohoooo! What a great movie. I'd never seen any of the movies until last week when Chris suggested I watch the first one. Well I got hooked right away. I love those cute little hobbits!

It's amazing! Can't wait to see the third one :D

You've never read the books??? I chose LotR as part of my HighSchool English Literatur exams...

The hobbits are cute... but since I've seen part 1 I'm thinking about getting a watch-Balrog... I guess they are more intimadating than watch-dogs!

I've read the book 14 times before the movies came out.

I have been waiting for the book to be filmed since I was
13. 20 years now :p

The Lord of the Rings was the first movie Kitty and I ever saw together!:D

We loved the houses built into the hills and an overall amazing cinema experience!:D

I can't wait to see The Two Towers!:D

What a great movie, I wanted to see it for so long. Saw it last week.

3 hours long, but exciting all the way.

I cant wait to see Matrix now, thats my next big awaited movie.

Damn good movie in my opinion. I thought the first one made the time go by too fast... this one did it faster!!

I swear, I sat down in my seat, watched 8 commercials, 4 trailers and then the movie started. Then I watched this huge war and then the movie was over.

It seemed like the commercials lasted longer than the movie... but 3.5 hours had gone by!

Any movie that is 3 hours but seems like 40 minutes, is an awesome awesome movie :xthumbs:

After the release of Tomb Raider and a lot of other disappointing adaptions of other sci-fi / fantasy books I did not expect too much from LotR. But then I saw the first trailor and got really excited. I think Peter Jackson did really a great adaption of the books! Thanks mate!!!

Don't mix adaptations from video games and books. Hollywood scripters are either very bad or very lazy, possible both, so a lot of movies are book adaptations. Movies that come from video games are quite bad though (Mortal Kombat, Resident Evil, Super Mario Bros, Street Fighter II, Tomb Raider (did not see it, but my guess is that it's pretty and that's it)). But since most video games are uninspired pieces of crap, it's normal that the movies made out of them are not better !

I thought Resident Evil was pretty damn good though. But then I just like Milla Jovovich. :p

Two Towers was great! It did take a bit too much poetic license from the book in this one, but it was amazing. Got the Two Towers game for ps2 so I can geek out till next Christmas!

The viduals of Resident Evil were very nice I agree. But I did not like the movie itself. It would have been hard to make the characters more stereotyped than that. The zombies were cool though. I have to rent The Dawn Of The Dead again !

Now the dawn of the dead... In a class of it's own!

Best movie of the year...hand down. They have done an incredible job taking the books to the screen.
