But the lotr trilogy and The Godfather are both incredibly awesome movies

[QUOTE=PollytheParrot;42008826]But the lotr trilogy and The Godfather are both incredibly awesome movies[/QUOTE] Yeah but TheFilmSlacker meant that even though some people who didn't like The Godfather as much as others, they can still recognise its great cinematic quality. Not trying to say that The Godfather is worse than LOTR trilogy or vice versa but for someone who might not be into Tolkien fantasy, they should still be able to recognise that the trilogy isn't the most overrated piece of turd.

Don't forget about the genre-setting story, the epic dialogues, the acting(who doesn't adore Gimly? huh?), the world-panning cinematography and the tight yet not overdone action that juxtaposes thrill and imersion in a perfect way.

[QUOTE=Timarley;42009266]look at me guys i don't like popular movies look[/QUOTE] Nah, Rusty likes movies that happen to be very popular too. It's just that the film he hates also happens to be extremely popular; he's not 'hating it because of its popularity'.

[QUOTE=kimchimafia;42009346]Nah, Rusty likes movies that happen to be very popular too.

[QUOTE=TheFilmSlacker;42008742]You can say that you're not interested in the stories, that's fine, they're not movies for everyone, but to deny that they have good cinematography, acting, writing and action is just being stubborn. I don't really enjoy The Godfather, but I can definitely see why people love it as much as they do.[/QUOTE] Let's be honest, half of the value of the film is the grandeur of the Tolkien universe. The wide, epic shots and even the camera-work during intimate pieces of dialogue are only as cool as the art direction. The acting is good in that it's immersive, but what exactly makes it spectacular? A lot of characters are just the tradition archetypes of fantasy. And the writing feeds so heavily off of the universe that a person lacking any and all interest in fantasy probably couldn't find much value in the script. The action is pretty impeccable though, as is the score, editing, and effects. I personally like the trilogy, but is it really 11+ Academy Awards incredible? Is it really perfect? And yeah I find that lot of the time this: [QUOTE]But their subject matter is a fantasy nerds wet dream so these flaws are not apparent to them[/QUOTE] is often true. But whatever, my grievance is comparing it to The Godfather. Not really an apt comparison, because enjoying fantasy is a prerequisite for LotR, whereas as a partiality to mob movies isn't really important for The Godfather.

Those movies would have been a bit better without all the masturbatory shots of characters walking, because Peter Jackson loves those books and thinks its the coolest shit ever. [editline]29th August 2013[/editline] Now that I think about everything about those movies is masturbatory, same thing with King Kong. Maybe Peter Jackson should stop adapting things he loves, or he needs someone to tell him "no, this a movie, not a book"

LOTR owns. Saying that they're as masturbatory as the source material is blowing it way the hell out of proportion.

I never said the source material is masturbatory, I said Peter Jackson was being masturbatory. I never read the LOTR books, I think I read The Hobbit when I was younger though.

Still haven't bothered with the Lord trilogy... I think once I've seen the likes of Pan's Labyrinth and other worthwhile fantasy flicks, it'll prepare me best.

[QUOTE=AK'z;42011347]Still haven't bothered with the Lord trilogy...

It's like comparing 2001 a space odyssey to Star Wars.

[QUOTE=AK'z;42012105]and it's wrong why?[/QUOTE] there's nothing wrong with it it's just that saying that you'll watch something to get ready to watch something else while they have no relation whatsoever other than the general theme doesn't make a whole lot of sense

[QUOTE=AK'z;42012105]and it's wrong why?[/QUOTE] Stop tip-toeing around the movies and just watch them. They're not hard to digest by any stretch.

[QUOTE=Zukriuchen;42012958]if you don't want people to care why post about it at all[/QUOTE] I'd rather have a discussion than have people blurt "just watch the 10 hour series... just do it".

[QUOTE=AK'z;42012806] I need to bide more time... also consider which cut is best too..[/QUOTE] which cuts of lotr are the best? extended, no other option.

[QUOTE=AK'z;42013051]I'd rather have a discussion than have people blurt "just watch the 10 hour series... just do it".[/QUOTE] ok here's the discussion watch the extended version or whatever the lotr movies are good, there's no need to worry so much about 'getting ready to watch them' or anything, you're just creating too much hype for yourself, just go ahead and watch them
