Gangs of New York - 8/10
Rocky 1 is the best from a serious film buff point of view....Rocky IV is the best from a movie buff point of view.....I loved the fourth movie, probably because it was the one I remember best as a teen...but Rocky 1-4 are really as far as it should've gone.
Ok... So let's say LOTR were an easy film to make...
What would be a difficult film to make?
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.
Lol at LOTR movies being rubbished! They were epic, the amount of money they took and the amount the Hobbit will take, clearly shows this.
Box office gross is not a clear indicator of quality.
Of course, but a huge trilogy all making silly money and a trilogy of the hobbit being made also kinda indicates that it is clearly a fantastic set of films.
Individual DVDs, blurays, box sets, extended versions etc etc all making lots of sales.
It was an epic trilogy, pure and simple.
I agree with Easyrider, I can't watch them anymore, stupid changes and could have been so much better, missed opportunity to do something truly epic. Dreading what he may doing to the Hobbit, the behind the scenes videos have me worried!
Box office gross is not a clear indicator of quality.
And yet you think prometheus was brilliant? You clearly don't know what makes a great film.
LOLstummy
Wash your mouth out with soapy water!
Rocky IV is a childhood favourite of mine, the soundtrack was fantastic!![]()
Yes, I do think Prometheus was brilliant, a flawed work of art if you will allow me.
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
