One of the best films ever...I am still there..having never read any of the books, to my chagrin, I was unaware when watching 1 that there was a 2. LIkewise I didnt know that 2 would end where it did.
A beautiful film, superbly cast and acted..the scenery nearly made me cry...this film is a true blessing and I am very gratfeul it has been made.
Now I'm going into stasis until 3 comes out.

did anyone else think that what they did to Gimli was just plain fucked?

dude, gimli was just hilarious in the movie. I love the humour they gave him. though id like to see more of him, too much attention were focused on the stupid elf, dwarves are much cooler ¬_¬

'nobody tosses a dwarf' in film 1, during an action based scene was just Arnold corny. I crindge each time I see that.
also in film one, the 'eyes of a fox' gag was well played, thought it was great!
Paul. usually thats the direction disagreements go. I simply mentioned to the fact you are insane. don't take it too personal, it's not like I called the white coats on you. feel free to call my insane...because I am.

pffaw.
Taking the 'moral high ground' is just as bad as attacking the man.
You have just failed to back up your statements with facts - or even a more detailed explanation other than your unfuounded accusations about critics.
The fact remains that even though some of the films you mentioned were good films - they are only enjoyable by certain people. Most of the world won't get them. Period.
I watched Ghost World - and I thought it was a long, boring drawn out cynical nihilistic movie.
You would think LOTR would be a movie snob's wet dream - the Director of Meet The Feebles somehow manages to helm the greatest cinematic undertaking ever based upon arguably the best fantasy book ever.
It's not like a bunch of heads sat around and said "Ok, ho can we most effectively hit our target market 16-30 year old males with a sweeping 3 movie, 20+ DVD set"
I think maybe you should watch a little of the supplemental stuff on the DVD and then see if you still agree that it's a lowest-common-denominator holloywood market piece of crap.
Frodo lives!

3cy no news there, we know your a prick! haha
...but still see the movie. even non-fan will enjoy it. it's entertainment value is what makes this a good film...the history, making, lore, etc is just sugar on top.

I mean shit, 90% of us know what going to happen all through the movies. Why is all this such a surprise to anyone? The comedy and shit is just the personality of Peter Jackson, I would think.

it's all about seeing the sweet, sweet eye candy, come to life in front of you. and compare it to the world you have invisioned while you read the books.

Saw it last night. Wow!
First off it is not a movie it is a SAGA. (movies are an hour long Van Diseal blowing shit up)
From someone who has actually read the books, I thought it was very cool.
Yeh I see things that are left out and I wonder why???? But I am sure that Peter Jackson is making a much better film than I could.
Gollum was done really well, half way through the movie I forgot he was animated. After the film my girlfriend asked me "How did they do gollum, was he a man in a suit?" I laughed cause he was that good.
Anyways GREAT FLICK, and Peter don't knock it til you try it.

Is it always really important that a movies matches the original book. Everyones interpretation of a book is different - what characters really look and act like, what they think are the most important elements, the aura of a persona etc. A movies is merely an interpretation and creation of a screenplay of a book - it can never be perfect in everyones eyes.
Movies like this I like to ignore what I know of the book and try to watch it as a movie for its movie entertainment value.
I read lord of the rings when I was a teenager and have purposely not read the books again because I want a fresh view of the movies for what they are - which is enjoyable.

and if it *was* exactly like the book . . . 6 hours in . . . we'd just be leaving the Shire about now . . .
and I would have killed myself already

I saw it Tuesday Night/Wednesday morning. I thought it was really well done.

Just saw it 2 hours ago.
Gollum is surely the best CG ever created at this time. No joke. If you think Final Fantasy is unbeatable go see Gollum .. ! CG make another giant progress.
And the movie itself is pure delice, for me. Iam a fan of medieval fantasy and this, is the best movie out there in the medieval-fantasy category.
Two thumbs up for Peter Jackson and his team. They did a very very clean and nice job.
