Jelena Zlatkovic Velickovic This film is like a dream come true Perfect film for me, great advanture, fantastic caracters and costume design. Everything is perfect in this fim, directing, ohilmimg, photogrsphy...
MaxL17 I'm gonna make this really simple, it's really good! It's beautifully filmed with majestic sets, the acting is good, directing outstanding and ofcourse the music is awesome. I think everyone can enjoy this awesome first movie in this amazing trilogy.
ShuaiMakMak LOTR is without a doubt, the best movie I've ever seen. I don't care what the Academy says because without a doubt, it was the best film of 2001 (obviously... i said it was the best movie I've ever seen). It deserved the Academy Award 10 times more than A Beautiful Mind did. I mean look at the difference between ratings. LOTR: #3 ABM: #126 See a difference? LOTR will go on to be an unforgotten movie as what Star Wars is. In twenty years ABM won't even be on the top 250 list, while LOTR will still be in the top 50. SO LOTR fans just remember. Academy doesn't mean ****. Time says it all.
featherrost Contrary to common opinion, I have quite a few problems with the LOTR trilogy as a whole, having read the books before watching the movies contributes to these opinions as I already had a vision of how things should be before watching the films.The Acting: One word to start, abysmal! With such a list of amazing characters throughout the three films, you would think that they would get the majority of them right, but unfortunately I was quite disappointed with all of them bar a few, the ones that I was happy with include: Gandalf (who can fault Ian Mckellen?), Legolas, Gimli, Gollum/Smeagol (how good is Andy Serkis?!), Eomer, and Boromir. The rest were, simply put, not how they should be, Frodo was supposed to be 49 years old when he leaves the Shire, 16 years after Bilbo leaves, yet they give no indication that 16 years pass from when Bilbo leaves to when Frodo does. I could go on forever with this but I'll move on to my other main problem.Spoon Feeding: The story is handed to us on a golden platter, there is no sense of mystery or intrigue surrounding whats going to happen or whats happening in the moment, the backstory, similarly is told to us as a straight story which makes it boring and predictable. One thing 'The Hobbit' trilogy did well was spacing out the backstory, and it wasn't just told by voice over, it was told by a character on the place, when Bilbo finds out about something, that's when we find out and not before, this is how it should've been done here, Gandalf explains to Frodo about how Gollum came about 16 years after Bilbo left and not long before Frodo himself left the Shire. The story of Sauron and Isildur is told by Elrond during his council, Gandalfs run-in with Saruman is supposed to be UN-known until the Council of Elrond as well.Arrogance with the story line: Every book made into a movie has to have things omitted from the story line otherwise the film would drag on forever, but in this case things were omitted for things that were added, they tried to bring things in from stuff that happened some 50-60 years before into the main story, just because they felt like it. An example is the whole Aragorn and Arwen thing, Elrond being upset with Arwen happened 50 years before and is not mentioned in anyway in the LOTR literature until the Appendixes.Well there you have it, my opinion probably differs from many, some who even think that its one of the greatest movies ever made, but I think coming from a more unique perspective having read the book, and even among those who have read it, most would have watched the films first I would think.
