This has nothing to do with horror, but i think lord of the rings was over rated. good story, but a big whoopdie doo about the cgi. I cant understand how people get excited cause they have about 10,000 cgi figures in a scene. a chinesse movie called the first emporer had about 30,000 real actors, in one battle scene. now thats directing.

It was ok, a good book to movie transfer, but yeah I agree its not quite as exciting as many people say, in fact the first one was a little on the boring side!
The CGI is good though it's the best so far so I guess thats why people are excited it shows the future of CGI is getting better!!!!
Sparticus now thats an epic..........

i HATE lotr and how people think its gods gift to cinema. The story is tired and formulaic, with clear cut morals and good vs. bad characters....Cgi is pretty standard stuff now adays. Highly overrated...
Wait for the Elric movies (horror meets Lotr).....you guys will see, oh yes.....

Gotta disagree with ya on this . I'm watching The Return of the King as I type this and to be honest, I can't think of another"EPIC" done any better than this. And by epic, I'm talking ,length, acting, effects, casting, ...this puppy is firing on all cylinders. There has never been a trilogy of this magnitude that has been so consistent in its quality. What do we have to compare...The original Star Wars, ...it was allright for its day.
The new Star Wars trilogy......sucks, c'mon fucking Jar Jar.
The Matrix trilogy.....1st one was good..the rest blew. This is only my opinion, its all I got, but if anyone disagrees with me ....I shall hate you until the end of time.:mad:
