Yes very long, but also very good
Star Wars sucks compared to this. I guess it’s the combination of something more than a plot to blow shit up and the fact that technology allows for much better scenery that makes the Lord of the Rings Trilogy much better than Star Wars. Brian and I went to see Return of the King tonight and I have to say that it’s the best movie I’ve seen in a very long time. Says a lot if you can get me to sit in a theater for 3.5 hours. I’d like to see it again in the theater. Anyway, since I haven’t read the books I wasn’t so critical of the movie’s short comings in keeping with the actual story line. Anyway, very good.
Hope everyone’s vacation is going well and you’re all enjoying yourselves.
Todder, Out!
Glad you liked it! The battle scenes were my favorite parts.
Having read the books, I just couldn’t get into the movie as much as everyone else. I thought it was awesome, it just didn’t really bear much resemblance to the actual LOTR. Too bad, really, since it kicked ass as a movie.
