Well, my entire family, and my brother's girlfriend's entire family went to see Lord of the Rings ("Yeah, hi... Can I get 14 tickets to Lord of the Rings?")

It was pretty dandy, I loved it, and cried at the end (*points* Hey you, stop making fun of me!).

However, my cousin (she's 13, so she's not like a little kid or anything) left the movie earlier because the Ringwraith's noise scared her,

Dad's going to kill you. Really. He is.

I got teary eyed when Gandalf fell..even if I know he's coming back later anyhow.

My friends and I were sitting right next to one of the speakers. Not the bass ones, but the ones that handle the higher sounds.

My eardrums were ringing when the Ringwraiths came on. Ow, ow, ow.

Grammar is your enemy! - While being able to understand someone's sentences might seem like a good idea for a proper essay, complaining on a forum scarcely leaves time for such trivialities. Write fast! You're angry, grrr! Make that show, and forget about things like capital letters, punctuation, and verbs.

You should read Bored of the Rings by the Harvard Lampoon. Doubt if it's still in print, but a library may have it.

Absolutely hilarious. Starring Dildo, and Frito, and Legolamb, and Gimlet . . . .

I really love LotR, but the parody was a masterwork.

Just don't expect a faithful recreation of Lord of the Rings, and you'll enjoy it.

It's like "Willow," only better done in all respects. The characters just happen to be named after Tolkien's.

Bored of the Rings is a hilarious book. There's also a sci-fi type version of The Hobbit out there called There and Back Again.

I agree, Drys. Legolas was the shit.

My only gripe about the movie is the lack of Tom Bombadil...that section of the book was one of my favorites

The Balrog was awesome period

Ignore Bloodsage. THis is as faithful of a recreation as you are going to get in a movie. I can think of only two scenes in the movie that were different enough from the book for me to really even bother to take note of. This is Lord of the rings. As good as if not better in places than the books were.

Some guy in the back rows was cursing all through the movie. I wanted to tell him off really bad...

Not by a long shot.

Many of the changes had nothing to do with the real concerns of translating text into pictures; they were done simply to sensationalize, to sqeeze the plot into a cookie-cutter Hollywood rendition of "fantasy adventure."

Anyone who knows the books really well is bound to be disaffected--unless they aren't expecting a faithful recreation. In which case it's a wonderful movie, as I said.
