amish

yeah,

i read the book and liked it...when I was 12 years old

I now find these stories of trolls and dragons childish

 

[hdeck]

you could have come up with a better title...if you are going to make fun of it...do it in style

I'll give gregshin credit - I hadn't heard it called that either

People who are insulting it probably haven't cracked a book not required by classes. LotR fans aren't generally nerds. You have no idea what kind of cultural phenomenon LotR was in the 60s and 70s. Which book did Led Zeppelin write songs about? Plant is a nerd right?

"lord of the geeks"

Didn't I read somewhere that the Lord of the Rings series is the 2nd best-selling book of all time, 2nd only to the Bible? Something like more than a 100 million copies sold in some 60 languages? That's a lot of nerds! :Q

Well I guess you still have the mind of a child then if that's all you can garner from this story.

It comes to a point when you get sick of people like this with their "holier than thou, my sh!t smells sweeter than yours" attitude. Really they're only kidding themselves, but whatever. If it makes you feel better about your own shortcomings, then so be it.

Haha. so true. The only time I get ridiculed for being a "nerd" because I love Tolkien is on the internet from people I don't know. People in real life either don't care, or actually respect someone for being passionate about something. Then again maybe I just have some good friends.

it's not like that...
Everyone is just entitled to have their opinion, and as everyone on this forum seems to be a huge fan of this movie, I just wanted to point out that I agree with gregshin about the fact that I don't find it as amazing as you guys do...
period...

I was wondering how long it was going to take you to show up

I saw LOTR and liked it,can't wait to seethe next one

That's alright, I have friends who can't sit through 15 minutes of the film, and I don't care (well, i gotta try first at least )...but saying it's childish and just about trolls got to me. Trolls is probably on the bottom of the list of things of importance in this story. It's real strength is the themes and characters, the history, and just the story as a whole.

 

[CurtCold]

I know some people that didn't care for it, but that's there prob, I think the books and the movie are awesome. Read the books back when I was in 7th Grade or so, thought they were awesome, the movies are just bonus now.

Now that's more like it.

 

[gregshin]

to be even more honest i got the title from Triumph the insult dog...he said "nerd of the rings" when that dragon black wolf dood showed up at the SW episode 1 opening night.

Also i would to add that i was not bashing the movie...it had its part...but i give credit to JR tolkein for his creativeness and imagination. I'm actually more into SCI-FI then fantasy.

 

[BigSmooth]

Of course there are going to be people who didn't like the movie. There has never been, and there will never be, a single artistic endeavor that 100% of humanity agreed upon.

Less than 100% of people would say Mozart composed beautiful music.
Less than 100% of people would say Van Gogh created beautiful paintings.
Less than 100% of people would say the Taj Mahal is a stunning work of architecture.

No matter what, you'll never get EVERYONE to agree on something artistic because art is always evaluated subjectively.

How can you not find it "amazing" if you never saw the movie? If you havent seen it you shouldnt be dogging it......

Good point. Personally tho, I have to say that I thought LOTR was incredible. Not as good as the book of course, but still a stunning movie.
