What a fantastic line from Gandalf (in "The Two Towers") that was!! Oh, and her second top line for a tv/film based ring-tone would be "Are still frakkin' Dualla?", as snorted by a drunken Starbuck in the new "Battlestar Galactica" series. haha!Derekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06185160360769364876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3373639471570210741.post-27564588558212689982008-01-26T16:00:00.000-08:002008-01-26T16:00:00.000-08:00Yes, that was a great review!I adore Peter Jackson...Yes, that was a great review!<BR/><BR/>I adore Peter Jackson's adaptation of "Lord of the Rings". To me, those three films gave me the same "W-O-W" factor that I got from the "Star Wars" trilogy as a child. I think they deserved their box office and awards success. For the record, my favourite out of the three is "Fellowship of the Ring" (I felt very emotional at the end of the film at my first screening) and my favourite sequence is action/chase scenes in the Mines of Moria, including the bridge of Khazad-Dum/Balrog fight. An incdredible piece of cinema.<BR/><BR/>I was a huge Tolkien fan before coming to the films, but I do think Jackson did a fantastic job.Derekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06185160360769364876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3373639471570210741.post-49464032742538376472008-01-25T10:44:00.000-08:002008-01-25T10:44:00.000-08:00Great review, Joe! Actually, I loved these films. ...Great review, Joe! <BR/><BR/>Actually, I loved these films. I know it sounds ridiculous, but after these films, for me, other film seem almost anti-climactic. There was something so special about the first one, then journeying to London to meet up at Leicester Square Odeon, having waited all year, for the next two...well, what act can follow that? The films are just special to me. True, there were elements of the film that annoyed me. (Legolas skateboarding down an ollyphant's nose or whatever that was springs to mind) but overall, I don't think for me they can be topped.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
