Will you see the movie in december 2001???

What do you expect from it? Will it be as popular than StarWars I? and I hope better than D&D the movie ...

I did not see the D&D movie. But I am wondering if it is worth renting or if you consider it to be a pathetic attempt at entertainment?

For those interested don't take this as spam but if you want to look at the movie trailer you can get it at...


adcritic.com


Planet of the Apes too!

D&D movie was absolutely horrible. I expect the Lord of the Rings movie to much more entertaining. They have spent an incredible amount of time in production and have a wonderful cast. I wish Jeremy Irons would have signed on for this instead of wasting his talents on that rotten D&D film.

Peace and hair grease

It is not worth renting also .. wait a couple of month and watch it on TV, if you are lucky, they will cut the movie and a lot of commercials will make it more fun !! hahaha!!

I will wait in front of the theatre all night long for the first day! Like I did with StarWars I

There are high hopes for the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Personally, I reckon it's going to do for Fantasy what Star Wars did for Sci-Fi. As for Jeremy Irons, who exactly would he play? I'm just damn irritated Liam Neeson didn't get wrapped up in Episode 1. He was born to play Aragorn, IMO.

C'mon, December... if only Time Stop could work backwards...

This coming from an ex diehard Star Wars fan. I Watched the movie (Star Wars I) several times when it came out, but now that I think about it, it really sucked. The only thing it had going for it were fantastic special effects. I really hope that Lord of the Rings is better. I would say it SHOULD be because of the great cast, but SWI had a god cast too, so .. I guess we can only pray.

Hmmmmmm...Yes, that must be it

You are welcome friends ... I remember when I saw the trailer of SWI at theatre.. Damn the emotion was there ! But now, I will go to theatre each months just to see if the trailer of LOTR will be presented. And if so, I'll stay after the movie to see it again and again and again ....

Looks interesting and I look forward to seeing it. My only real gripe atm is cating Sean Bean as Boromir whilst John Rhys-Davis is cast as Gimli. JRD fits Boromirs description to a tee........oh well http://www.tgeweb.com/ironworks/cgi-...iles/smile.gif

One love, peace.

Eh? JRD is HUGE!

Tancred

Well, he is!

Boromir is no hobbit himself. How big do Dwarves grow btw, not quite as large as JRD methinks.

------------------
One love, peace.

Well, yes, but JRD is quite portly as well. I imagined Boromir to be broad, but a bit more lean. As for Dwarves... I think Gimli was about five feet tall. Dwarves in LotR weren't that short.

Tancred

LotR Specialist

Yes, accepted JRD is somewhat rotund http://www.tgeweb.com/ironworks/cgi-...iles/smile.gif
I must accept that although I've read the books (including all the others) many times, I haven't read LotR for at least ten or more years.
As I recall Boromir was a huge bearded man and it took a multitude of arrows to slay him. Either way, imho Sean Bean is never a Boromir. The truth of the pudding as they say....who knows, he may be a great Boromir in the movie itself although I seem to recall seeing some movie stills and he didn't appear to me to portray Tolkiens description of Boromir.

------------------
One love, peace.

Went and looked at the trailer---AWESOME!

One question though, are hobbits that tall?

BTW, shouldn't this thread be in General discussion area? or are we suggesting having BG2 characters in the film? http://www.tgeweb.com/ironworks/cgi-...es/biggrin.gif

Entreri, I'm sorry, I didn't see your message earlier.
I don't have any pictures here of Amsterdam but I could try and find some if you like.... well I found a site with some pictures of dutch villages and cities...they're a bit cliche (windmills etc) but they're nice.
Check here: [img=http://www.app-waterpoort.nl/steden_nl.html]PICTURES OF HOLLAND[/img]
BTW the site's in dutch, so sorry...no information, just pictures.

Movies are seldom as good as the books (unfortunatly), and since the lord of the rings trilogy was the second best i´ve ever got my hands on (not as good as the serpent war trilogie of Raymond Feist) i don´t think it will be that good.
