[Neo]

LONDON (Reuters) - ``The Lord of the Rings'' begins its fantastical journey Wednesday with the mammoth fantasy being released in 10,000 theaters around the world.

The $270 million epic, which took New Zealand director Peter Jackson 18 grueling months to make with a cast of 2,400, has already been acclaimed by critics as a masterpiece.

HEY BRO.......

Jus' saw it w/ Mark an' Brandonie this weekend. Dang! It was awesome! 'Ave ya ever seen a flick at the new, "Rave" theatre, (out south)?
It made it extra cool!

Just saw it. Great flick. True to the books. Don't expect an ending, coz there ain't one ... til the third flick. Awesome panoramas and the dwarven city was ... unbelievable. A couple of bung-ups where you can easily tell that the people are comp-gen, but not enough to distract.

Worth the money. Video will not do it justice.

Saw it and loved it. Good stuff.

I'd give it an A-. They skipped two pieces of the book (that I know of) and really overstated one ither piece, but overall they did a great job.

Prof is right. Moria was extremely well done, and video will not do it justice.

Just replaced my DVD player, bought the widescreen version & fuck why didn't I see it in the theatre??? Great flick. Even my kid thinks he's an elf now. He's watched it daily for a week.

You know where we'll be in Dec...until then, qt has the Two Towers trailer

 

[PostCode]

Yep. Then we get to wait another year for the last one.

 

[Noite Escura]

Seen it twice on theatres, waiting for the 'extra stuff edition' DVD to be released here...

 

[PostCode]

I've got the pre-movie on CD-ROM...actually, 4 CD-ROM's. Easier to just plug the DVD in though. hehehe

 

[Gonzo]

Noite, they are releasing 2 extra stuff DVDs. One in November & the other, I forget when. I think #2 has :30 minutes of additional footage.

 

[Noite Escura]

That's the one I want...
