Three unbelievable motion pictures

Advantages: Great acting and filming.
Disadvantages: very lengthy, can get boring for some, NOT ME.

The truely monstrous task of cramming a whole tolkien 'Lord of the rings' novel into a single movie looked unthinkable until Peter Jackson had a go, producing three spectacular films. 'The Fellowship of the Ring' was the first novel and so rightly, the first film to be created. The imagery and detail was incredible and after leaving the cinema I felt it was obvious i needed to go back just to re-live tolkiens world once again. But the film didn't ...
...once fairly unknown actor) shook the stage, it was in my opinion the best acting performance I have ever witnessed. I later found out that Viggo had learnt everything for this film, from horse riding to sword fighting, he truely wanted to get fully involved in the films action. Other leading roles included Gandalf, the old, kind wizzard, a friend to the ring bearer frodo, and a character whos careing attitude brought frodo to the edge of mount doom ...

Review of The Matrix - The Ultimate Matrix Collection (Box Set) (DVD)

Spider, The Trilogy... Light-hearted fun

Advantages: Kid friendly, easy top watch, likable hero
Disadvantages: 20 minutes of the third film are BAD. Not very scary.

This series is less dark than many of the other comic book movies. The sort of thing you don't even hesitate to let your kids watch. My 8 year old sister loves these movies. The first film shows the making of spiderman, with the Green Goblin as his main enemy. It follows the comic books pretty closely and Kirsten Dunst is a lovely MJ. Maguire is good as spiderman because he's not got the cool factor, which suits the character. The biggest difference ...
...second film has Dr Octopus as the villain, leading to a lot of nice stunts using those mechanical arms to climb buildings and so forth. The third film has a 20 minute period in the middle with 'evil spider man' that is just wrong, appalling and should be deleted. You need to be cool to pull that off, cool butch and manly, Maguire bless him, isn't. Good otherwise though. I like the villain the most out of the three and the method for killing him was ...

...that this film "LORD OF THE RINGS TRILOGY " have been reviewed many times. But I would still like to share my experience with this brilliant film by Peter Jackson. Everything about this film is perfect! I would suggest you to sit tight and don't let anyone disturb you while watching it, you will definitely miss something important if you did. Actually it happened to me so i just warn you! Don't make the same mistake as i did. Luckily i have the DVD ...
...on what to expect. The Lord of the Rings film trilogy consists of three live action fantasy epic films: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001), The Two Towers (2002) and The Return of the King (2003). The trilogy is based on the three-volume book The Lord of the Rings by J. R. R. Tolkien. While they follow the book's general storyline, the films also feature some additions to and deviations from the source material. MAIN CAST Aragorn - Viggo Mortensen ...
