Ok I'll start. Is ther anyone excited to see this movie? I am. The acting in the commercials looks a little suspect but the special effects are just dazzling! $240 million to make the movie was reported, that is ridiculous. I have not had the chance to read any of the novels but my friends foam at the mouth when I bring up LotR. I'll be in the line to see it! Discuss amongst yourselves.

I'm going to see it on the opening night 19th Dec at 00:01. And I'll see it before most of the people here (Central/West Europe and U.S), thanks to timezones  (I live in Finland, North Europe, timezone EET) And according to those who've already seen it in a pre-viewing say that it's a suprisingly good movie (considering that usually lots of hype and quality don't fit in the same movie). Best big-buck film in a few years.

Originally posted by ShineyMetal@$$: some important guy from Lotr, that said he couldn't match the plot exactly because its impossible to do. But i thought to myself, he's probably just downplaying the difference in plot to keep people glued. I am yet to see. He meant exactly what he said. I'd really like to see a 100% accurate film of LOTR, but it IS impossible. There's no way the first part (Fellowship of The Ring) with all it's scenes could be put into a 3 hour film, so a lot of scenes has to be left out. But what I've heard from the people who've seen the pre-premiere, the plot is fairly accurate (meaning accurate enough) and loyal to the book, with only slight modifications. A book and a movie are two different media and what works in a book doesn't neccessarily work in a movie and vica versa.
