[QUOTE="manofsteel1303, post: 988021, member: 12125"] Scooby Doo: The Movie - Now I really don't like the cartoon version of Scooby Doo, so when I had to take my brother to see this movie, I brought a book and a reading light to pass the time, but then I was really surprised by how funny this movie actually was, and the CG was amazing to bring Scooby to life. All in all, a very surprising movie. Add my vote to the New Kid, I think that that actor is just great, and the screenplay was really good too! Episode II: Attack of the Clones - Now, when Episode I came out, I was totally stoked, cause I thought that it would totally surpass the first three and blow everyone away. Then I was more than a little disappointed at the small scope of the film. So going into Episode II, I wasn't expecting much. But then I saw how far it jolted past the one little planet of Naboo to involve an interplanetary war, a great storyline that will build perfectly into what's to come, and all the little hints and nods to the first trilogy that just tease us for more. Now, I really can't wait for Episode III! And last but certainly not least.......The Lord of the Rings! I'm embarrassed now to say it, but when I was told that they were making a live-action trilogy of films of LOTR. All I could see was the cheap cartoon made in the '70s. I didn't see how anyone could capture the whole story in a believable and realistic way on film. Then, when I was told that it was being made by a virtual nobody of a filmmaker and was being totally produced in New Zealand, I just sensed crap coming down the road. Plus, the choice of Elijah Wood as Frodo didn't help things either. So I was terrified at how bad it would be until I saw the first real preview and some of the production stills. Then I heard about how the filmed it all simultaneously and I was impressed. So I started to feel better, then on opening day, I was completely amazed. It's sheer magic that Peter Jackson has created, I now hold him in the same esteem as Tolkien himself. This is the best movie I have ever seen (I consider it all one movie, not three, I just haven't seen it all yet ;) ) I am now the movies biggest fan and it shames me even to say that I doubted it.
