Action & Adventure > Mortensen, Viggo Action & Adventure

Advantages: acting, story, action packed
Disadvantages: duration of three hours

...of visual effects and acting, the fact that there are some fairly unknown actors playing some major roles helps with the fantasy feeling like a reality. if you've read the books then yyou maybe disappointed by the film as obviously there are bits that had to be missed out in order to cut the running time, if this is a major problem then i'd recommend you look into purchasing the extended edition. however if you havent read the books then this film ...
...film because of the action packed nature of it but girls there are plenty of advantages to the mainly male cast. this is not a film for you if you prefer short and snappy films as the running time is nearing 3 hours i believe. If you like the first film (the fellowship of the ring) then you'll love this one all the more if not for the story but for the battle at helms deep. it is worth seeing just for that! the story itself continues on from the ...

Advantages: best trilogy ever made
Disadvantages: it only has 3 movies

The best trilogy ever made according to me. The lord of the rings is a fantastic achievement by Peter Jackson, the actors and all the movie crew. This box set gives you a complete set of all the movies in perfect condition. These three action packed films tell the household story of frodo baggins and his quest to mordor to destroy the one ring. The story is fascinating and intersting and has amazing special effects throughout. Peter Jackons own love ...
...wrong, with 'The Return of THe King' being in the top 10 movies of all time by IMDB. THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING The first movie tells the tale of the fellowship of the ring.The one ring belonging to Sauron is descovered and a fellowship is made to destroy the ring in the fires of mordor. Frodo, Sam, Merry, Pippin, Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli, Gandlaf and Boromir make up the fellowship of the ... Read review

Advantages: More scenes with Legolas!!!! :D etc...
Disadvantages: Nothing

I've watched the Lord of the Rings Trilogy so many times I know some of the lines by heart. It is officially one of the best movies I have seen made so far for this part of the 21st century. How could I not have this DVD?! ;) People keep complaining about how long the extended version is, but I assure you its excellence completely makes up for the time. The effects are great, the acting is great, the script is great, the storyline is great, the ...
...I hear of Lord of the Rings; but I was so awed by this wonderful movie(not just Legolas ;) ) and I decided to do my research and watch it again and again. Each time I watch it, there's something there that I haven't noticed before, and it never ever gets boring. The movie is basically on the story of Bilbo handing down the ring to Frodo his nephew who realises he must destroy the ring in the fiery pit of mordor at the council of Elrond Half Elf ...

Advantages: great action packed dramatic movie...in a tunnel
Disadvantages: none really

...survive long enough to see daylight again. The opening scenes, with the police chase and the lorry loads of toxic chemicals, the movie gets straight to the point, with the simplicity of how certain events can cause so much disaster. Stallone plays his usual style as the action hero with attitude and a skill of surviving what would normally kill any mere mortal, it is like Rambo in a tunnel. It is the type of movie which sees a group of strangers ...
...reach there goal, watching how the rich, the poor, the young and the old join forces and become one, watching as the group deal with one life threatening problem only to stumble across another. The story line was well written, if a little slow in parts as the audience is introduced briefly to the tunnel dwelling characters. Stallone plays his usual style as the action hero with attitude and a skill of surviving what would normally kill any mere ... Read review
