"Gods gonna sit this one out"

Advantages: Good action, good story
Disadvantages: Sometimes too corny - but it's based on comics!

...London, he is close to the end of a fake arms deal. On the night, it doesn't go exactly to plan when Mickey Duka (Eddie Jemison) brings along his friend Bobby Saint (James Carpinello) who is funding the majority of the deal. Like I say, it all goes wrong as after the exchange, the FBI rush in to make arrests and Bobby Saint is killed. Bobby Saint is the son of the brutal Howard Saint (John Travolta) - possibly the only thing even more sadistic ...
...When the news is delivered to the Saint's of their sons death, vengence is saught, and Livia Saint orders the death of Castle's whole family. Howard Saint's right hand man, Quentin Glass (Will Patton) takes a crew to the Island where Castle's family are having a reunion before his departure for London, killing everyone - and leaving Frank for dead. The one mistake the learn they have made, is that did not make sure they finished the job with Frank ...

More like Cycle of The Rings, it feels as long!

Advantages: Yet more great special effects
Disadvantages: far too long & dull

To describe the plot in a nutshell this is the movie that separates the original group who started out with the ring, the meeting of The Ents (the last of a species of intelligent trees), defending Rohan and moving Frodo and the ring further towards Morder. We meet Elves, more bad things and nasty wizards as well as learning more about Gollum and a giant spider. The 1st 20 minutes of this film is huge tracts of flashbacks to the first movie in order ...
...I'm honest. Generally again, the pacing in this film is too much. It just lasts far too long. It's a bit annoying that Frodo & Sam go to a place in this film where they don't actually go in the book. If the director thought it was a good idea to adapt a book then why not stick to the story of the book? They stick to book one and they stick to book three but they start inventing things for book two? Who died and made him Tolkien? Of the 3 films this ...

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 ...

"YOU DONT WANT TO MISS A THING"

Advantages: The whole film
Disadvantages: None

A good, great, wonderful, amazing film. One that you can watch over and over again without feeling bored of it. I personally must have watched this film at least 20 times. In the last 30 minutes of the film, that when the tears come, and they flow right to the end including the credits that play the Aerosmith song. You feel like you are experiencing everything with the team, you laugh and cry with them. A great cast, a great film, a great sountrack ...

My Precious ( lord of the rings trilogy)

Advantages: best dvd collection you can own,
Disadvantages: need plenty of time to see the film

Probably 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 ...
...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 ...
