I'm not sure why but not too many people were feeling this film. Ken: I loved the film of LOTR but as for the book I'm just not interested. I know there is much more there, destruction of the Shire, Sarimon and so forth but for me its all overkill. I'm a Harry fan and we'll just leave it that. Thanks for the comments. 34740@blogcritics.org Wed, 31 Dec 2003 22:44:29 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2003/12/31/104106.php#comment-34723 You say: "When a story leaves you wanting more, wanting to know the characters even after the story is over (even if its only to loathe them more) that is the mark of a well made film." Yet you also say you probably will never read the books? That's the easiest way to get even deeper into the characters! I loved LOTR: ROTK as well... and I've read the books three times (and the Silmarillion twice!). Thanks for the suggestions on Mona Lisa Smile. Looks girly, but I may see it just for Kirsten. 34723@blogcritics.org Wed, 31 Dec 2003 17:19:09 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2003/12/31/104106.php#comment-34704 Yeah but wasn't that fight scene at the end in Matrix: Revolutions a tad bit long and repetitive? It was definitely better than Reloaded though as per all that you mentioned. Oh and I wanted to watch Anything Else, sadly none of my friends did and I'm not the solo movie going type. 34704@blogcritics.org Wed, 31 Dec 2003 15:42:19 EST
