Lord of the Rings

Could they have done any better with this trilogy?

[Seag420]

i doubt it, the book is amazing, and it would be pretty much impossible to make the films any better, the 3rd movie is my favorite movie of all time

[Ganj]

all three movies were absolutely amazing. while i'm watching the films i say to myself, "damnit, i wish i was there". new zealand is a beautiful place. the first film, although slow at the beginning, is my favorite one. all i have to do now is get some weed and take a day out to watch the trilogy.

[naturalmystic]

Yeah, the first is my favorite too. I'm not a huge 'action' fan, so this one appealed to me. The scenes of the shire were real relaxing. Dunno, but this one was my favorite.

Peter jackson could have made the movies better if he followed the books a little closer. He did do a stellar job though!I cant wait for him to make the hobbit

You have to take into account that he's making a movie, and it can't be TOO long.

I do think they did a great job with these movies. I believe that there will be other adaptations, some day in the future, as digital production becomes cheaper and more sophisticated. I can imagine someone making an even longer version that is even more faithful to the books, say 15 years from now. Personally I was very happy with this adaptation. The books are one thing, the movies another, you know?

I love the movies, don't get me wrong. They helped me understand the books alot better. In the books every character , city, and sword, have like five different names I realize they had to cut stuff out but, he put in parts that never happened in the books, I don't think thats cool b ut over all exellent movies2nd best trilogy of all time!!

[Jake0steve]

Ya, the movies were dissapointing because of the few things they left out in the books, especially Tom Bombadil. Pipe-weed though, thats tight. I still love the movies though.

Lily is a big LOTR fan!!!! I've watched the last movie 12 times! :D Pippin was kickass, the scenery was fantastic! Filmed in New Zealand i think, most movies are. but i never read da books :(

[D.Boone]

i watched it last nite the first one was on TNT still love it even after seein it several times. a classic trilogy that will be remember as one of the best trilogy's ever.

Oh man the LotR trilogy is my favorite. A long time ago me and my friend drove around and collected 2/4's and cut them down and made some junky swords out of them and then we used to go fight in the woods. On Halloween one year we bought character costumes. I have the Legolas suit.

I always wished I could go back to an era where that really existed. Like a LotR universe lol.

I thought the movies were awesome. I first read the books like 20 years ago and actually saw the cartoon version when it forst came out in theatres. Needless to say I was extremely stoked to hear that they were going to be done with modern film making technology.

I thought Peter Jackson did a great job. My only criticism is that there were a few changes from the books. Not non-essentail characters, like Tom Bombadil, that were left out, but actual changes. The biggest one I can think of is when Arwen finds Aragorn and the Hobbits on their way from Bree to Rivendell after Frodo has been stabbed. In the books it was a different elf all together. There were a few others that I noticed when watching the movies but can't think of now. Anyhow, great films!! One of these days I plan to sit down with some really nice bud and watch all three from begining to end.
