Well at least we have the Prequels to Star Wars to counterbalance
They were pretty awesome. I mean sure that Jar Jar character was bad, but he was barely in the first one and they were wise not to but him in number two.Well at least we have the Prequels to Star Wars to counterbalance
I thought the trilogy had about ten minutes of cool stuff in it, but was otherwise a giant pile of predictable crap. By predictable, I mean that Jackson took the safe choice in every case. Who should Gandalf be? I know, let's go out on a limb and get Ian McKellen! I think the scope was just beyond Jackson's abilities.
OOC: Why do you have to hate something to make a DBWI about hating something? Isn't if much more fun when you role play someone you aren't? I think you're the one who isn't getting what a DBWI is.OOC: Either you really hated the OTL films or this is another case of someone not knowing what a DBWI is.

Damn that inapt hack director Jack Peterson to the fires of Mount Doom !![]()
His LOTR movie "adaptations" were an abomination crossed with a breed of utterly bad travesty ! Anyone agree ?

Yeah, Lucas really did a great job of building up Anakin's character so that, even though we know he's eventually going to fall to the Dark Side and become Vader, we can't help but genuinely like him and sympathize with his struggles. The scene where Anakin falls is incredible; on an intellectual level you know he's turning evil, yet Lucas plays the scene so that it seems so right for him to join Sith.
Back on topic, by far the worst thing they did in the new LOTR trilogy was getting rid of Merry, Sam, and Legolas and replacing them with female equivalents. Sure, Tolkien did have a bit of a gender imbalance with an all-male Fellowship, but scrapping three major characters to replace them with made up female ones so that the movies would be PC was a bad idea, as were the horrible romantic subplots that spawned out of this.
