The Nozdrul (i.e. black riders) rode pigs in "Bored of the Rings".

My seventeen yr old daughter liked it so much yesterday, that she went again today with a different set of friends! I hope you enjoy it as much as she has!

Thinking of adding a tabletop creche over on the right :)

I would have to say that this movie is better than LOTR Fellowship and Two towers.

I haven't seen Narnia yet, but am anxious too (prolly next weekend).

But, I love the LOTR stories and movies. I read them in high school and didn't discover Narnia until college.

Not to be overly critical (like you appear to be), but your simple entertainment preference makes it appear that you don't understand either work for what they really are.

I'm glad you liked Narnia. But comparing it to LOTR isn't really helpful.

No way do talking beavers trump orcs and hobbits.

Yeah, but Beavers in Chain Mail ROCK! :-)

Remember, LWW is meant as a children's tale, not the epic that LOTR was designed to be.

The scale of characters, cinematography, etc., reflect that.

Would you ping me? (I assume this is for Tolkien people.)

Here's your ping :)

The Twenty-sixth thread of the Hobbit Hole!

No review required, but if you've got the time, t'would be fun.
