50 Reasons why LOTR Sucks
 

I agree with #1. Kids should read the original, not the screenplay in school.

#2 is BS. They intended from the get-go to do the entire trilogy, and it was all filmed at once. They had to do all three.

#3? Cmon....everyone who has a brain knows the benefits of widescreen, and the difference between the dimensions of a movie screen and a TV, don't they?

#4. Who cares? He's a nobody anyway.

#5. Tennis shoes? I love it! Orcs in sneakers!

#6. I doubt it was copied.

#7. Racism? No. That's the way Tolkein wrote the book. Does that make the studio racist?

#8. Obviously the writer of this webpage knows nothing about the legend of the ring. It's a personality in and of itself. Almost a 'being'.

#9. Violence.....that's the way it was WRITTEN by Tolkein....how many years ago?

#10 and beyond......read the books, you nimrod! You'll see why the STUDIO did what they did. They're just re-telling a story the best they can!

Geez. This guy is a complete idiot.

Um, like, satire dude..... :shake: Look it up. :lol: :lol: :lol:














Again, don't ban me.... :puppyeyes: [/i]

I still love the movies.

I'm with ya 100%. I read the books as a child, and they're doing a darned good job. How many can say they actually read J.R.R. Tolkien's work?? Not this guy... :roll:

I think it's hilarious when people ask "Have you seen it yet? Oh, then I don't wanna ruin it for you!" the only way to ruin trhe story for me would be to change it. I've only read the series like 10 times... :lol: And I, personallly, always start with The Hobbit and work my way through.

And I think they are doing a great job with the movies, that's why I thought the list was so funny

I guess the author doesnt know that those books were written 50 years before Warcraft came out...Tolkein practically invented that kinda stuff, I am gonna stop now before I get carried away... :evil:

Seriously, I don't get it. These movies are AWESOME!!! Not only is the action and special effects great, but there is a lot of good moral ideals in it as well. It's a classic good verses evil story. I think these people just say or write these stupid things to provoke a response. I see the "shock" stuff in the media all the time. I truely think this series is the best one I've ever seen.

And yes, I've read the books many times, including the Hobbit. I actually own them. I think they're doing a good job on it.

I think it would be cool to bring Tolkein back from the grave and have him watch the movies.....just to watch his reaction.

I was just re-watching the second Harry Potter movie, and I thought "How cool would it be to be JK Rowling right now?" She wrote a story for her kids, and look at what happened...
