Watched them, when I had absolutely nothing else to do. Still thought it was a waste of my time afterwards. Clearly not my cup tea.

after reading them and rereading them as a kid, i was disappointed with what i was presented with. bits left out and things happening in the wrong order. shelob was in the two towers not the return of the king.. for example..
i'm not in the camp of people who hated the movie... i was just bitterly disappointed with what jackson decided to edit out and then how he went with the story plotlines..
as i said.. it was a peter jackson lord of the rings, not a tolkien lord of the rings.

To be fair they'd have to be about 29 hours long to be totally true to the books.
Scenery was *err* scenic, goblins and fight scenes were OK, but the cute hobbit ****e did my head in. And it was looooooooooooooooooooong...

They were great adaptations of the books but obviously will never better them. Mainly as there is so much missing.
But all in all, fantastic end result. Jackson excelled, but really should have done "The Hobbit" first.
And I also thank the Gods for giving me so much Liv Tyler. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Her fathers music is perfect for the ears and she is perfect for the eyes.

It begs the question, in the history of film, has there ever been a film that has 'done justice to the book'? I can't imagine its possible, or indeed likely, because the nature of books involves you, the reader, being the 'director'. You imagine how things look and sound, you paint the picture in your own head, so unless the film director replicates that it will always be a let down I should think.

The Lord of the Rings Trilogy is one of the epic moments in cinema.
And that Jackson pulled it off, a hand has to go to the man.
Take a massively epic book, set in a time and a location that doesn't exist, make three uniquely interesting films and be true to it, and then make about 3 billion dollars and was it 11 oscars? is really beyond 99.9% of the population, me and George Lucas included.
Ive been to Park Road, the post production facility built with the money made from the LOTR films housing a film lab, weta, and Park Road Post and its spectacular. He's cordoned off a part of Wellington and made it into a film production hub.
There's a cinema where they do all the sound mixing for films and I swear you can hear the blood pumping around your skull when theres no sound. You have to get out of there.
These three films were as close to perfection you can imagine. They may not be your favourite films, you may not even like them, but seriously, you have no idea how many jobs that film created.
And as for location, where else could you have shot this film? Remember your not going to get the tax breaks on your 300 million if you shoot it in the states or Europe barring the Czech Republic.

Bombadil really doesn't add much to the story tho, if he wasn't in it at all it wouldn't make a difference I don't think.
