[QUOTE="Sakzilla, post: 1707810, member: 6105"] I find this interesting, as well. I really liked the LOTR trilogy. Granted I have a job and friends and was not terribly partial to the very dull books, but I really liked the trilogy. One thing I liked was the level of detail - how 'cinematic' the movies were. I got this grandiose sense that impacted me - I can't wait for the EE of the DVD to see how much neater it might be with more time. Having said that, I was quite dismayed at the horrendous treatment the movies got on this board. People were OUTRAGED that Tom Bombadil did not sing for hours - what was PJ thinking when he took the trilogy and made it less than 200 hours? he couldn't [I]possibly[/I] have made it decent in just 12. And that was LOTR - one of the most influential items in our hobby's field. To hold everything to that standard is problematic. People make these out to be life or death situations, and if it is not their vision of what the movie could have been, it fails utterly completely without mercy. If every situation is a life or death one, you will die alot of times. Same thing with movies - if they were all so cinematically LARGE, they would then all be the same and we would complain about that! I enjoyed the flick, liked the back story, got a kick out of Lance Henrikson's involvement, and I will buy the DVD the day it comes out. Plus it was PG-13 for SLIME - it was actually rated for SLIME!!! What other movies can say that! I got my entertainment, and I will enjoy it again. That's just my opinion. And opinions are like half-elf rangers - everyone has them! Ron [/QUOTE]
