Title: Rotk Review Post by: l4mby on 2003-12-12, 21:04 OH HELL YEAH ! As if watching the 3 minute trailer repeatedly for an hour on end wasn't enough, this just got my hopes up even more : RotK Review (http://www.teletext.co.uk/entertainment/generic.asp?slot=31&page=1&ref=3)
This makes me laugh: "If you were to play dungeons and dragons for 12 hours straight, eat a wheel of brie and knock yourself out with a hammer, your dreams might look something like this." ROCK ON ! Somebody, quick, hand me a towel, I'm gonna need it. *drools* I'm happy that I got into the midnight showing. Wewt ! Tuesday night/Wednesday morning can't come soon enough ! I can't wait ! Title: Re: Rotk Review Post by: ConfusedUs on 2003-12-12, 21:46 Moving this on over to entertainment, etc!
Good review ;0 Title: Re: Rotk Review Post by: l4mby on 2003-12-13, 00:23 lol ... yeah I just thought about that awhile after I posted it in the off-topic forum. Forgot this board got so specified instead of generalized. =P
Title: Re: Rotk Review Post by: dev/null on 2003-12-13, 05:19 I haven't even seen the Two Towers yet... The short version of the Fellowship of the Ring was boring enough for me *shrugs* :unsure:

Ditto. I'll be happy when this LOTR buzz dies down. Title: Re: Rotk Review Post by: l4mby on 2003-12-13, 07:23 The 2nd one was better, and the 3rd will surpass both. Lemme ask you sth ... did either of you read the books ?
Title: Re: Rotk Review Post by: dev/null on 2003-12-14, 02:40 No, I must admit that I have not. I've never been a fan of the fantasy genre though. Magic: the Gathering and D&D included :P
Title: Re: Rotk Review Post by: l4mby on 2003-12-14, 10:35 Blah. It takes a lot to get me into a book. But I assure you that I could not put these suckers down. There were some dragging parts in the 1st one, but other than that, DAMN. Reading the books made me get into the movies. *shrug*
Title: Re: Rotk Review Post by: dev/null on 2003-12-15, 02:43 I have all four of the books in PDF format, I may go through them once I finish with my current read (From Rationalism to Existentialism) ;)
Title: Re: Rotk Review Post by: ConfusedUs on 2003-12-15, 03:03 I actually hated the books. I couldn't stay awake. BORING! At least the movies were able to hold my attention.
The only Tolkein book I liked was the Hobbit. Title: Re: Rotk Review Post by: Phoenix on 2003-12-15, 05:45 I'm looking forward to ROTK. I like the movies a lot, and I have BOTH extended editions. I've only read the first two books of the Lord of the Rings. So far I do like the theatrical releases better. I want to see the third movie before reading the book so I don't get any spoilers, even though part of The Two Towers book spoiled enough already...
Title: Re: Rotk Review Post by: l4mby on 2003-12-15, 07:24 Well yeah b/c they left out the last few chapters. =P
I have both movies as well ... both regular and extended editions. The 3rd one will be by far better than the 2nd one even if just for Minis Tirith. *shrug* LotR series is one of the few books I've actually been able to get into. Title: Re: Rotk Review Post by: l4mby on 2003-12-18, 00:35 OMFG ! I went and saw the midnight show last night and HOLY COW ! Two words : HELL FRIGGIN YEAH ! Ok ... 3. =P This movie was MORE than I ever expected. It was everything a movie SHOULD be. Graphics rocked, storyline rocked, the battle scenes ROCKED. I laughed, I cried (which is a 1st for me) and sat in awe for parts of it. It was extremely intense. The part where I cried (well, not really cried, but really really teary eyed), you'll know when you see it. It was sad. But anyways ... if you don't have plans to go see it, I suggest you do so. It was seriously the best $5.50 I EVER spent. I got to spend 3 hours and 20 minutes drooling. Oh yeah ! GIGGITY ! I plan on seeing it again w/in the next week. wewt !
And it's not just me that says this ... everybody I've talked to that has seen it LOVED it. All the critics reviews I've read have given it 5/5 stars. I must say that Peter Jackson has redeemed himself for putting in Arwen and leaving out some of the stuff in the 1st two movies w/ the third. So GO NOW ! Title: Re: Rotk Review Post by: dev/null on 2003-12-18, 03:09 The only time I've ever cried during a movie was the first time I saw the Land Before Time and Little-Foot's mother died... Yup...
Though I will admit, the ending of Boys Don't Cry almost got my eyes running, and that's been recently ;) Peter Jackson won't redeem himself in my eyes until he does a sequel to Dead Alive (Brain Dead). Hehe I'm glad you enjoyed the movie though |4mby ;) Title: Re: Rotk Review Post by: l4mby on 2003-12-18, 09:26 I am too. Best thing to happen to me this entire year. o.o Well, next to QuakeCon that is. Hehe.
Omg, I love The Land Before Time. They needed to stop after the 1st one. Seriously, the rest just blew. Never seen the other movies you speak of. =P Title: Re: Rotk Review Post by: games keeper on 2003-12-18, 21:09 I got that movie , its awesome , the land before times :thumb:
