You know I still like you regardless doubled_mystic, bad taste in movies and all. Yeah i don't understand the LOTR's in the most hated category. He is certainly one of the group of about a hundred people in the world that feel that way - But that's His opinion - I wouldn't put The Matrix or LOTR movies as my most hated BUT I don't like them AT ALL. Matrix 1 and 2 and LOTR 1 & 3 put me to sleep (I didn't see Matrix 3 or LOTR 2...and 'NO' I wasn't tired or sleepy when I saw those flicks). I tried watching LOTR 1 twice because everyone seemed to have a hard on for it. I thought I might've been missing some classic movie. Well, I fell asleep both times. And the same thing happened with Matrix 1...tried to see it twice and fell asleep both times. I'll admit that Matrix and LOTR are visually cool but that's where it ends for me. Do you not like sci-fi and fantasy in general? As far as I'm concerned, the 1st Matrix and the LOTR trilogy is about as good as it gets in the sci-fi and fantasy arena... Yes I like sci-fi and fantasy. I liked the original Star Wars movies, some of the Star Trek movies, Terminator, Alien, many superhero movies (which could be be categorized in sci-fi and/or fantasy), etc. I just didn't like the Matrix and LOTR movies. I strongly disagree that they're as good as it gets in that arena as you stated. Well, in terms of sci-fi, The Matrix is somewhat non-traditional - it's not an outer space epic, but it is sci-fi. There are a LOT of great sci-fi movies that have been made, including many of the ones you've mentioned.   The Lord of the Rings movies, on the other hand - to me they have no equal in the world of fantasy movies, not even close. To me it would be like comparing an 8-year old's art with Monet or Picasso or whatever someone's favorite artist are. They are absolute masterworks.   Of course you're netitled to your opinion, but I'm just puzzled to no end when people don't like those movies, much less hate them. My wife and I have the extended versions of all three and we've watched them countless times. Pure art of the highest order.         Then again, people can't understand my loathing of VT and insist that's high art too, so I guess there's no accounting for taste.   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7dZUJj2DSc8   Ok I am a fan of LOTR, but Randall makes some good points against LOTR. And you can't compare The Rings to the Star Wars saga. The Force will always hold true. (and that includes the prequel trilogy as well) OMG!!!   Are we in a Kevin Smith movie here? People are actually ARGUING over which mindless drivel is BETTER??? LOTR or Star Wars??? WHO THE f**k CARES??? :sheesh:   My CHILDREN have more intelligent arguments.

But your constant defense of them, mixed with unrealistic praise just sets me off. I mean... most people would be embarrassed to admit their love of something this stupid. Maybe call it a guilty pleasure or something, but you actually seem convinced that the rest of us are MISSING something by not being fascinated by muppets and CG shit combined with WEAK stories that are either OLD (LOTR), or ripped off from another creator (Star Wars).   I understand opinions and how everyone is entitled to them, but when you post with this attitude that how you see it is THE way to see it... then I have to finally jump in.   Oh... that and the fact that I read posts and threads that my friends are involved in too. Cuz even if i don't agree with something, I like to see what my friends are up to. I understand that YOU are above that though.   Bye. Go watch your dumb movies another thousand times. Maybe I'll agree with you in fifty years.

[treeduck]

Lord of the Rings?

 

I didn't even bother watching the trailers...

 

I never liked Star wars, even Alec Guiness thought those films were crap...

 

From IMDB:

 

Reportedly hated working on Star Wars (1977) so much, Guinness claims that Obi-Wan's death was his idea as a means to limit his involvement in the film. Guinness also claims to throw away all Star Wars related fan mail without even opening it.

 

Reportedly answered one "Star Wars" fan's boast that he'd seen the first movie over a hundred times, with a nod and the words "Promise me you'll never watch it again." The boy was stunned, but his mother thanked Guinness.

 

[On how much he disliked working on Star Wars (1977) and his attempts to encourage George Lucas to kill off Obi-Wan Kenobi]: And he agreed with me. What I didn't tell him was that I just couldn't go on speaking those bloody awful, banal lines. I'd had enough of the mumbo jumbo.

 

[during filming of Star Wars (1977)]: Apart from the money, I regret having embarked on the film. I like them well enough, but it's not an acting job, the dialogue - which is lamentable - keeps being changed and only slightly improved...

 

 

 

[Disco]

Necro, dude, the LOTR trilogy is an iconic landmark in cinema history. Whether they are to your taste or not is another matter, but they are, surely, undeniably great films.

No... probably not, cuz you're a fan of drivel like Star Wars and LOTR too.   Almost every movie that comes out that is based on a comic shoots to number one. Why is that? Hmmm... maybe that there's a MASSIVE fan base in comic books AND the stories appeal to people that DON'T read comics as well. I'm sure the millions of people that saw 300 or V for Vendetta didn't even know that they were comic book adaptations.   Oh... i'm not a fan of Green Lantern much, by the way. Do some research before you attempt to slay ME.

Yeah, like that Judge Dredd film......

Undeniably by WHO? I deny that they are great. So do millions of other people who have taste. I won't deny that they are HUGE money making ventures, but THAT does not make them GREAT FILMS. Please.

 

I think TreeDuck's previous post about the feelings that Alec Guinnes had on being involved in them speaks volumes about the type of movies they are. DRIVEL. I honestly think that people who like them are fine. That's not a big deal. Like I said... a guilty pleasure. We all have them. But this "defend to the death" crap that I see Goobs and others go off on just kill me. I truley believe there is a slight sickness involved in fanaticism of any kind. Especially in fanaticism over ridiculous crap like movies. And then fanaticism over BAD movies like these two??? That's just insane, in my opinion.

 

The fact that I continually bag on these movies and people continually freak out and get all incensed over my comments just PROVES my theory of insanity on their part.

Yeah... there's been a few stinkers. Captain America was horrible too. But that was before Hollywood took comics seriously. Even the early Supermans were horrible. Comic companies were too eager to sign a movie deal that they relinquished too much control over creative license. Now they retain most of the control, or in Marvel's case... become the actual movie maker themselves.

 

I doubt there will be any that are of the caliber of Dredd or Captain America or the first version of The Punisher ever again.

For sure. There is something, literally, repulsive about it. It was on telly a couple of years back and, having heard it was truly awful, sat down to watch it, in the way you can sometimes enjoy a film being bad.

 

But I just couldn't do it. Within moments I was so utterly bored, so completely disengaged. It wasn't just the walk-thru style acting, the gibberish of the dialogue, there was something deeply and profoundly dull about it. And to think that rubbish nonsense of this magnitude had prentensions to meaning. I lasted 10 minutes.

 

Really, it's not even worth a look as a laugh.

Because nobody ever said the general public had taste, and nobody ever went broke by under-estimating the intelligence of the masses. Professional wrestling and Nascar are popular, too. Mechanical bulls used to be all the rage.

 

But I digress. Are you saying that The Hulk, The Fantastic Four, the Batman francise (post-Tim Burton), Catwoman, Daredevil, Elektra, Red Sonja, Superman 3-5, etc. are all better and more artistic than "Star Wars" and LotR?

You are just proving your ignorance. The comic book medium is far from "stupid shit". I wasn't referring to comics as stupid shit. I may not have been specific enough, but that wasn't what I was inferring. Your penchant for misquoting people had reared its ugly head again, and this is why even playful banter with you is so displeasurable.   As I said... i don't try to force anyone to like what I like, but you'd be in for a pleasant surprise if you picked up some quality graphic novels. I have found that a large amount of people that don't like comics have never even given them a chance. Or... they couldn't "follow" the story. I guess following the panels from left to right, top to bottom, can be just too much for some.

Holy crap, I just realized something! You're from Pennsylvania???

 

I was driving through Pennsylvania last weekend, and I saw a guy that looked like you... but I figured it wasn't. Did you eat at Wendy's last weekend, wearing a Slayer t-shirt? Seriously. It was Easter Sunday.

 

We may have been in the same restaurant at the same time and not known it.

Certainly not a great way to end the story, but at least it was pretty to look at. The first Matrix, on the other hand, was an absolute masterpiece.   The LOTR trilogy to me is one of the finest creations, even works of art, ever produced in cinema as far as I'm concerned. An absolute phenomenal achievement on every level, and one that will undoubtedly stand the test of time, continuing to give great enjoyment to hundreds of millions for decades to come.   Some of the worst movies of all time???         So how was that for ripping you to shreds?   Meh, it's all opinions. You know I still like you regardless doubled_mystic, bad taste in movies and all. Yeah i don't understand the LOTR's in the most hated category. He is certainly one of the group of about a hundred people in the world that feel that way - But that's His opinion - WRONG!!! There are just as many people who HATE LOTR as there is that enjoy it. Even more, cuz usually the people who loved it... GROW UP and realize what a horrible piece of shit it is. Those who don't grow up... well.. they just have no taste in movies to begin with I guess.   I agree that the Matrix sequels blew also. The first was okay, but nothing worth spawning such a frenzied fan following. Just more proof that the masses are sheep that will follow anything that is forced down their throats.   ART??? My god... does it ever stop??? Do you type that shit with a straight face Goobs? Seriously? ART??? Great, you found this thread.     One of the most stupdendous artistic creations ever made in cinema, and in the world of fantasy, head and shoulders above the rest. An astounding mindboggling creation of genius.   Absolutely straight face. I found it a long time ago. Just most people know how much I can't stand these two "movies". So i had no reason to post. But your constant defense of them, mixed with unrealistic praise just sets me off. I mean... most people would be embarrassed to admit their love of something this stupid. Maybe call it a guilty pleasure or something, but you actually seem convinced that the rest of us are MISSING something by not being fascinated by muppets and CG shit combined with WEAK stories that are either OLD (LOTR), or ripped off from another creator (Star Wars).   I understand opinions and how everyone is entitled to them, but when you post with this attitude that how you see it is THE way to see it... then I have to finally jump in.   Oh... that and the fact that I read posts and threads that my friends are involved in too. Cuz even if i don't agree with something, I like to see what my friends are up to. I understand that YOU are above that though.   Bye. Go watch your dumb movies another thousand times. Maybe I'll agree with you in fifty years. I guess you're right. I mean, they hardly match the artistry of say COMIC BOOKS.
