If you liked Number 2 then you'll love Number 3, and if you didn't then you're sick.

Without giving anything away.

3 is like 2 and we all agree that 2 was nothing like 1

if you liked 2 you'll like 3

and everyone knows 1 was better than 2

and therefore 1 is also better than 3

if you liked 1 and didn't like 2 then you won't like 3

LOTR ROTK will be better than all of them  

Star Wars 3 will be crap

LOTR pisses all over the Matrix.

When I saw the first one, it was a new idea. Cool even, but now it just uses effects to try and gloss over a rather shallow storyline. At least the first one had a story, now that you know the story what is left?

As for LOTR, that film truly uses the story as the essence of the film. The effects are ground breaking and are used to compliment the story, not make up for it. And if the first two are anything to go by, the third will be simply amazing.

They actually don't use silver screens anymore. You can find some in the old cinemas but most are replaced by now. Silver screens are bloody heavy I might add but you get very good image on them.

I agree with you that the book was boring. The movies are just great imho.

oh ok then, the movie is better as its easier to digest the volumes on the big screen I guess.  Its just that there is so must dialog! plus in between episodes you need to go to LOTR college and study up on all the characters so you can follow the story..... and their interactions...

I saw Revolutios last night - and ended up with a mixture of satisfaction with some elements, and intense frustration and disappointment at others.

As smilo mentioned, if you're hoping for this film to resolve your reloaded queries then you will be very upset.  In fact, for every question answered at least one or more new issues are brought up and then left unresolved.

The ending is a total kop-out with the architects comments seemingly ridiculous as they indicate self-destruction.  And there are so many hints that the franchise isn't dead and a sequel is in the offing that it was ridiculous.  Not very subtle.

That said there were some great set-pieces that have obviously been influenced by sci-fi greats of years gone by - the APU's are nice evolutions of the power loaders in Aliens, and the final flight of the hammer is lifted straight from the death star trench run in Return of the Jedi.  I also thought the machine city section was reminiscent of the alien city in the abyss.

All in all it's better than 2, not as good as 1, and goes partway to rescuing the franchise after the risible reloaded.

And anyone who knocks either the books or films of LOTR needs their head read imo :narnar:

Also, I managed to see the MTV movie awards segment that lampoons Reloaded - Will Ferrel is soooo funny that it's worth buying the dvd for that alone
If I wanted you to understand I would have explained it better

Saw it last night, loved it :D

I wasn't convinced by reloaded, but revolutions had me gripped all the way through. The battle for the Dock was incredible, I wasn't too sure about the ending though, its wasn't exactly a revelation.

I hope they leave it as a trilogy though, I dont want to see another "Alien Resurrection" :(

Do you mean to say you read LOTR right through and you found it boring? My hat's off to you if you did. To read a book that big and be bored by it takes a special determination. :worship:
