It was too long (3 hours) and probably a hit with the gay community. The men were effeminate and prettier than the girls.

great special effects but I'd hit the matinee. You come stumbling out thinking you would not sit through that again.

Starship Trooper was a lot better.

Are you NUTS!!!??? "Starship Troopers" was a HORRIBLE movie. Not only that, it completely MISSED the spirit and theme of the Robert Heinlein novel.

“If someone dislikes it,” poet and literary critic W. H. Auden once declared of Tolkien’s epic saga, “I shall never trust their literary judgment about anything again.” I feel exactly the same way about

your comments here.

It was too long, it should have been tightened up. If you had no idea where the story was going you'd get lost, perhaps bored on the long road to the poorly foreshadowed "cliffhanger" ending.

I'm not sure about a 'hit with the gay community', certainly I felt the Frodo/Sam relationship had a homosexual flavour to it at the end but I dismissed that as Hobbit behavior and perhaps some Freeper-induced paranoia/oversensitivity to seeing gay anything whether it's there or not. The "Men" were not effeminate in any sense really, not that I noticed. Of course, Bloom, who looked disturbingly like "Doogie Houser", was appropriately "pretty" as the warrior elf.

great special effects but I'd hit the matinee. You come stumbling out thinking you would not sit through that again.

I felt that way but I've been having second thoughts as something were so well done, especially the acting and how seemless the CGI alterations were for the Hobbits, Dwarves and so on.

Starship Trooper was a lot better.

That's a funny (as in "ha, ha") movie with, oddly enough, Doogie Houser. But, admit it, the only reason you liked that better is instead of seeing Frodo's lone, seemingly accidental, nipple flash are the bare breasted women in the co-ed showers.

"Starship Trooper was a lot better."

Starship Troopers was the movie that even Denise Richards' boobs couldn't save. So, ipso facto, Starship could be better than no other movie in the known universe . . . and it's a shameful waste of female curvage.

If you're gonna post such jokes (i hope) you should wait for entry 40 or above, and avoid getting flamed. Trying to help ;-). Peace out.
