Awesome IS a one word description! But so much could be written about this movie. No doubt, one of the best movies of the year!

Wins my vote for best film oscar. Of course, the Mines of Moria scenes ruled. My only criticism is that Tom Bombadil and the Barrow Wights were left out entirely. I just hope that The Silmarillion is made into a film as well, as it is the best Tolkien work.

Hmmm I just watched Lords of the Ring yesterday and I didn't really like it. I'm not sure how people could find that movie awesome. First of all the story is incomplete. Second of all it's a 3 hour movie for an incomplete movie. Thirdly, it's boring.
Did you guys say it's great and awesome just because media has been promoting this movie for so long??

voodoo: different strokes for different folks!
Secondly, have you read the book(s)? If you have then you will why its incomplete. Speaking solely for myself, I would have been disappointed if it had been any shorter OR if they finished it in 3 hours :).
Thirdly, if you did watch Harry Potter, you will definitely appreciate Lord of the Rings.

VooDoo Nut:
The sequals to The Fellowship of the Ring are coming out during Christmas 2002 and Christmas 2003. Yes, you are right. It IS an incomplete movie. It IS supposed to be that way. As for the length of the movie, anything less than 3 hours does not do any justice to the story.

VN: I read the books in the early '80s (probably before your time). I have yet to hear of anyone who read the books and did not like the movie. Try reading The Silmarillion, The Hobbit, then The Lord of the Rings. I bet you could probably finish all of them before Xmas 2002, about when The Two Towers is due out.
Granted, many moviegoers who had not read the books thought that Fellowship was incomplete. It was, insofar as it left out some characters/scenes; however, it is not incomplete in terms of being the first work in a trilogy.
I can see, however, how FOTR does not quite give the Hollywood ending instant gratification for which today's moviegoers have been conditioned. Ring, ring!

My apologies, VN. I thought you were talking about Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. After re-reading your post, I see that you specifically said "Lords of the Ring". I haven't heard of that film, though it sounds like a WWF Smackdown feature--in which case I would wholeheartedly agree that it would probably be very boring, incomplete, and unnecessarily long. ;)

Doesn't matter whether its LORD of the RINGS or LORDS of the RING. It's still a boring movie to watch. Probably its an awesome movie for Americans and "AMERICANIZED" people.... Sorry to disappoint you Krishna but I was also disappointed when I watched that movie

Sure, it does. It ain't "Smell what Julia Child's COOKIN'!"
>It's still a boring movie to watch.
What I hear you saying is "I felt bored watching that movie."
>Probably its an awesome movie for Americans and "AMERICANIZED"
>people....
Sounds like you're equivocating between this thread and the "Americanized" thread elsewhere on kurakani, in order to make a sweeping generalization. Attack the moviegoers, not the movie.
>Sorry to disappoint you Krishna
>but I was also disappointed when I watched
>that movie
No apology necessary, as my disappointment that you felt disappointed when you watched that movie would presume that I care about your movie experience, which I do not. Looking on the bright side, you didn't waste your money on FOTR, if your experience keeps you from wasting more money on The Two Towers and The Return of the King. Talk 'bout win-win...I loved FOTR, and you got to save money. krishna
