So I watched Lord of the Rings for the first time and....

You suck! ! I hate you !I'm sorry..

I watched LOTR when I was in middle school, I couldn't understand English back then so it was subtitled to Arabic -kinda sucks-; yes Frodo and the Hobbits in general are boring, but there's a whole movie without them! and, without them, thing won't get clear, so it's fun to watch the Hobbits and discover the story more and more..

The movie is..well, teaches you about friendship and love, mainly the "not sexual" kind of love, this is why I love it, sacrifice mainly, I mean that blonde Rohan maiden (Eeewen?) and her passion, and then you have the relationship between Gandalf and humanity and all un-orcish creatures, Frodo's bravery -The guy is weak, unlike Aragon, Legolas or Gimley, Sam though made me cry, how he loves Frodo and his loyalty and all-....

Then in the Hobbit, you have Gandalf's secret affair with that hot Elvish mom queen <3 I love her and thought she is awesome all along <3<3 I wish if she would accept me as her secretary <3 . 

Then you have this line that worth a life-time of experience:



At 1:45..one of the most wise lines ever..
Lady Gladriel <3 anyways..

This movie brings my tears..
Saruman thinks it's power that keep darkness at bay. But actually, it's the small everyday deeds of the ordinary folk..

A kiss, perhaps, a hug, a piece of bread to the poor..walking a blossomy garden, ya know..

A scene that has no relationship with anything but it's awesome:





I want his accent : tasty , yet disgusting.

Look..you watch, get sucked for hours, then when you comeback to the real world, you feel...IDK, it sucks?

LOTR is amazing. I suppose as an actual reader, I understand how amazing it is more than those who merely rely upon the visual version. The same goes for GoT. The show kind of sucks compared to the books.

Reading is more fundamental than allowing your brain to rot in front of the television; learn it.

I don't regret watching the film first.. sometimes I feel that the movies are better than the novels; don't misunderstand me, I respect reading a lot, but you have "Fight Club" for example, everybody says that the movie is so much better than the actual book, well if the actors are the right pick, it will be a "unforgetable" experience..

A picture speaks a thousand words !!

umm but if you would rate, how much do you give the movie, and how much would you give the novel?

[Paraselene]

You must made zero sense.

(My bold.)

That's what I call audience participation. Where do I sign?

Reading these threads I'm glad I can watch a movie without inflicting myself with so much confusion and angst. If that's what gets you off, by all means have your fun-equivalent. I'm old-school. We watched "The Ten Commandments" and didn't wonder how Moses' mom constructed a reed boat without any dilithium crystals.
