This movie is some real dangerous stuff, people has been brainwashed to camp outside the theater four weeks before the premier.

I've got it on wednesday, really looking forward to it. I'm gonna try to approach this with an open mind, since if you go in there looking for faults when compared to the book you're never going to enjoy it. TTT strayed quite a bit from the storyline, and in particular faramir was represented very badly IMO. However that doesn't change the fact that the film was very enjoyable, one of the best I'll see.
I just hope he doesn't get carried away

Well, saw it this afternoon.
Completely underwelmed.
Good fight scenes, special effects, and so on.
Crap script, terrible acting in places, and, just like TTT, unnecessary scenes which are not in the book which take up stupid time which could have been used to included scenes which were.
Won't see it again the the cinema, will just wait till next November or whenever to get the extended DVD.
If this wins best picture or best director it'll be a political decision, not based on merit.
The final hour for example...how could a film win best picture with such poor editing...bah humbug...

The scene were Sam tells Shelob to "Get your hands of her, B*tch!"...sorry, caught in Alien 2 mode there...."Get your hands of him, Filth!" made me cringe.....
And the rallying cry from Aragon before the Black Gates...straight from the Braveheart school of script writting, but not as well delivered... did it inspire? Well, if I was a soldier of Gondor, I'd still be running away now....
The cgi effect's and cinematoghraphy are the saving point of this film, and you should see it just for those. But (and I don't want to seem like a stuck up snob here) if you've read the book, you have to ask the question...why add things which don't explain or improve the story as interperated by Jackson, when the original is by far superior.
For me, the book TLOTR's isn't about the battles, but about the brotherhood between the main protagonists, captured in the superb dialogue written by a master...that's what makes the book so enduring. These sentiments will never age and will be appreciated centuries from now. Take away the dialogue between these people, and you remove the heart and sole of TLOTR. Jacksons dialogue is so poor and obvious it's sad.
An opportunity missed to make the greatest book to many into the greatest films yet.
I'm so dissapointed:down:
I rate it about 7.75 out of 10

To someone who hasn't read the book they are probably wondering what the heck we are complaining about...I guess I really am just a stuck up snob...and long may I stay that way:dontcare:
