Love it? Hate it? Hate fantasy in general? Think they're long and boring? Share your thoughts here I love them, but many of my friends hate all of them and think they're boring.

:oOMG!! I don't believe this!!!! I'm actually in a spot where I won't get bashed for hating LOTR???!!!! *melts* This is heaven. I think it was and still is QUITE stupid. I hate that it won all these awards at the oscars -- totally undeserved.... The special effects sucked! The editing was TERRIBLE. There were over 300 mistakes I do believe in the LAST one alone!!! *gets angry*..I hate LOTR... I do declare. lol ;D

OMG Katie! You hate LOTR too? And here I thought that I'm the only one on this forum. I know. I cannot believe that it won so much awards when it's not that great.

I'm with you...i don't think it deserved 12 oscars (but hey, i don't think Titanic did either!) and the editing was pretty bad at points. *shakes head* how did it win for best editing? (or did it?).
on the other hand, i think they're great, for fantasy. but i dislike the books....they're just so. d**n. boring. and. long.

aw man I LOVE the LOTR Trilogy...the trilogy is basically my 3 favorite movie(s) of all time....
Aragorn and Legolas are some of the bravest characters in literary history in my opinion...KUDOS to Vigoo & Orlando
Sean Astin was amazing and totally deserved and Oscar nomination...
I thought that the special effects were amazing! if you watch the second movie and see King Theoden transform back into his old self, you're just amazed at how quick it happens...that's definitely great special effects right there...
i dunno...i guess it depends on what you compare the LOTR's effects to...I mean Spiderman's were pretty terrible to me....

I LOVE LOTR! I think it's great. It's a good storyline, lots of twists and turns. Plus, the actors are great! I became a huge fan of Liv Tyler (Arwen) after seeing FOTR. And Viggo Mortensen (Aragorn) is so hot. I, personally, love it.

huge LotR fan here....then again, i love the fantasy genre in general....i've read the books and while the books are long and at times, boring....they tell the story better than the movie does.... Then again, i loved the movies, especially the fellowship of the ring and return of the king....visually amazing, not to mention i'm a fan of dominic monaghan, who plays merry.... as for my love of fantasy, i'm in the middle of a ten book series right now...the robert jordans wheel of time saga...anyone who's a fan of fantasy stories should read these books....

HUGE fan of LOTR. I have to say, Return of The King was probabaly my favorite- one of the best movies I've ever seen. I also love Star Wars too- even though some people might think it's lame. My older brother got me into both trilogies, lol.
