What film did you watch last night?

Completely agree!
Twilight. I'm kidding, I never said LOTR is an easy film to make so I'll leave drunkenmaster to answer that.
Personally I think the Lord of the Rings films are some of the best films made, utterly brilliant. I think to call them a failure is nothing short of hilarious, they might not be to your taste, but you can not fault the production nor the success of the film.
I also think that as far as book to film conversions go, Jackson did exceptionally well with a book that was always refered to as 'unfilmable', I think the extended editions are as good as any film of those books were ever going to get.
In short, another loleasyrider.
Also, back on track, I'm watching Jurassic Park III at the minute and watched Prometheus last night
Prometheus was brilliant on blu ray.
And yet you think prometheus was brilliant? You clearly don't know what makes a great film.
LOLstummy

No it doesn't
I agree 100%
No it was flawed...riddled with mistakes narrative holes and bad hair nets!
Thats because you know your movies...I cringe now when I watch them....The children on horses looking nothing like Hobbits...The rubber feet of the hobbits...The hair nets of the riders of rohan...The rolling RRRRRRRRRRRR of modor and the fact that Sam calls Frodo Mister when its MASTER FFS
I could go on...The double edge axe of gimli not knowing if it is doubled edged in certain scenes...The voice of the ent...bad casting as its Gimli again..
Strider crying when Boromoir dies.....Doesn't happen in Game of thrones FFS men die with homour not tears....
The silly scottish merry and pippin....
The empty Full tent at the start that gandalf blows up suddenly is empty
The length
The homo erotica of Sam and frodo...
Frodo's constant facial expression
Fraggle rock CGI in Helms Deep
Legolas silly slide down the steps to back to the future music
London....Knees up brother brown ORCS
It is a clear indicator of quality, just not in a good way.
The two highest grossing films are Avatar and Titanic. I rest my case m'lud.
Ah Easyrider.
Yes, I do think Prometheus was brilliant, a flawed work of art if you will allow me.
I can only hope that I never meet anyone else from your little cult that think it's 'cool' to hate on brilliant films.
Also; Box office taking isn't 'proof' of a films quality, just it's success. Lord of the Rings suffers from being brilliant cinematically and a huge box office smash
I also await to how Easyrider would have made those films better, c'mon hit us with it. How would you have filmed those films?
Wash your mouth out with soapy water!
Rocky IV is a childhood favourite of mine, the soundtrack was fantastic!
Haha
Sorry my bad I ment #5. Forgot Rocky Balboa was the 6th film. I really didn't like 5.
I shall go get the soap
Just borrowed Space Above & Beyond series
Not seen this since it came out in the 90's.Missed the rest of the discussion (and cba to scroll back), but having watched Prometheus a couple of weeks ago, all I can say is ... meh.
I'm a big fan of Alien and Aliens. Less so 3 and 4, but I found myself twiddling my thumbs wondering how much longer the film was with Prometheus. Definitely not on my personal 'to buy' list.

I reckon the films could have easily been half an hour shorter just by cutting some of that out, could have had a half hour long extras track of Frodo's facial expression for those that want it.
