    The last 30 minutes of return of the king is boring. I just turn it off after the eagles carry them away.
    Oh and if the eagles kicked the Nazgul's combined asses when they were on those dragon things and make it all the way to mount doom and back out why didn't they just fly in with someone carrying the ring, drop it in the volcano, and fly out. Simple as pie.

    bad taste? you got to be kiddin. here il explain it to you. thats why some people are called star wars fan etc. you disagree about lotr. OSCAR was a fan of the lotr trilogy. i just like adventure and scifi and mostly fictional and fantasy movies. just look at your list, .. lord of war? iv'e seen almost all of your fave movies (i like them and the story and message is great, but if i had to pick the BEST movie i will based it on the ENTERTAINMENT and FUN factor and not the story not the realism factor or anything else. i mean i would not be entertained by lord of wars or gangs of newyork etc the 10th time i will see it, i will be bored to death. and lotr owns all, great movie great story great acting great special effects etc. its the best! its not bad taste cause i know what kind of movies you like, its just that we based it on different things. how come revenge of the sith is a bad taste? its the best star wars movie ever, and if your a starwars fan it should be on your top 10 list. as you can see some of your movie are also my faves, batman begins? now bad taste. i think you just picked movies from my list that you don't like. lord of the rings bad taste? now you must be out of this world. peace :)

    I didn't say every movie in your list was bad. I was commenting on those specifically. My list wasn't in any particular order. And all of my favorites are great movies that will last through the ages. And if you read my other post you will see that I like LotR but it's not so amazing that it should be on top. The first hour of Fellowship of the Ring is god-awful boring and the last 30 minutes of Return of the King is god-awful boring.
    Judging from your movie selection and what you think is just so amazing I would guess that you are around 14-16 years old.
    And again, the three new star wars movies sucked hard.
    Seriously, that line is so amazingly bad it's not even funny. I hang my head in shame when I even hear that. And Ewan McGregor is actually a good actor. It's just that this movie is so terribly bad it makes everyone in it do incredibly poorly.

    The most recent star wars movies were so over-blown in terms of special effects it seems as though the script was a hasty add-on. Episodes IV to VI were awesome cause back then Lucas was an underdog, the first one was close to having the plug pulled, but the recent ones he was just riding the fame of the first three and doing whatever the hell he could add in to make the trailer's look really cool. Zeratul11's list seems to be comprised entirely of movies created in the last 7-10 years, with a few exceptions, I think you need to see some older films and get a better scope of things. I do like LOTR, but there's a bit of a bias, cause (as I'm from New Zealand and Peter Jackson hired like half of the country for the film) my dad helped build some of the set for it. Like the trebuchet's used in the siege. Those kicked ass. I love Kubrick films. Dr. Strangelove is soooo funny! The obssession with bodily fluids...fantastic stuff

    I find it mostly amusing that Patric Stewart, who played/plays Doctor Xavier in X-men also played/plays Captain Jean-Luc Picard in Star Trek: The Next Generation. Ok, if you don't find that amusing, then what about the Star Trek/X men crossover novels and comics? Like Planet X? Or the one that shows both Dr X and Picard face to face?! :p

    im 22, guess im immature. wait lotr was not made for kids. it was made for people who knows and aprreciate a lot of things specially the imaginative and creative ones. :)

    what is it exactly that you dont like about star wars episode 1 2 and 3? the story? dialogs? the humor? first the special effects was overwhelming, and the story was fine, it tells the story of anakin and how he became darth vader (what story could be better?). i can't imagine what more can they possibly do about the scenes in the movie. revenge of the sith is a stand out among the rest of the star wars, its way serious and dark than all the other star wars movies and they made an outstanding job on the story, plot, settings, lines, actions etc. and how anakin turn into the dark side, what could be better than that. i think episode 3 revenge of the sith is the best star wars ever. In a new hope, they blew up half of the death star easily with only few x wing fighters trying to get their beams inside and the death of obi wan was like... ha? (the script was bad i think).

    two thumbs up for revenge of the sith.

    ok il try to watched more older movies. i like some old movies but i just can't place them on the same caterogy of lord of the rings etc. wow! you must be extremely proud of yourself and your father. I'm a big fan of lotr, i wish i was part of it (even just an extra, crew, contributor etc.) or just anyone i know was part of it. i wish i lived in new Zealand too so i will know where hobbiton is. :)

    Dude, are you talking here about the academy awards? You really talk a lot of nonsense.

    HAHAHAHAHA, Empire Strikes Back FTW!

    They actually blew up the whole deathstar, the deathstar you see in Episode XI is a new one. See, you haven't even paid attention to the old movies.

    "You really talk a lot of nonsense." dude im not good in english, please understand. you know OSCAR = AWARDS + LOTR = its a great movie. understand? OSCAR is a fan of lotr (a fan of lotr or likes lotr, yah its lame but don't you get it?)

    yes im talking about the oscar academy awards. they got the most nominations in 3 straight years so oscar officials likes all lotr movies. whats nonsense about that? it could only mean that lotr is one of the best and most appreciated movie ever created. like it or not.

    empire strikes back? HAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAH.

    ow so they got a new death star in episode VI. oopss, my mistake.

    oscar officials? i dont know what else to call them. oscar members. its not a big deal. dont you get it, they like lotr because it is nominated many time, im just saying it in an awkward and wrong way but its defintely not nonsense. your post is nonsense, the only purpose of it is to make you feel better. now thats nonsense no one cares about how good you are, well i care about your attitude. and you are RUDE and not hospitable. and i think you just gave me a - again, just for replying back at your RUDE post.

    yah its stupid but you are more stupid cause you don't try to understand and you only care about your own self. you are still judgmental as always. this is not your forum and don't put people down just because they are not good in saying things like you do. koreans studying english here in country talks and write english worst than that, and i don't mind them actually im helping them improve their english the best as i can. you on the other hand must find yourself a worthy oppenent and not me, so better find a smart ass like you to mess with... im tired reading RUDE and unnecessary post from you. your just a member on this forum like everybody else, so don't think too much about yourself here. and thanks for the word "smart ass" by the way. i like it and im going to use it to people who thinks their special like you.

    sorry. well he started it. and im not the kind of person who will just sit around and just let him be him. hell no. he should understand and he should learn how to deal with different kind of people in a good way. you see he hates me in the past, and he will continue hating me even with no good reasons.

    omg! im sorry. so he's trying to lead me to a trap. he wants to ban me. so RUDEEEE... well im going to tell my point to the admin as well. maybe he doesn't know about the GOLDEN RULE (treat others how you would like to be treated). or maybe he's comfortable saying bad things to others in forums etc., i bet he can't tell those bad things hes posting to someone face to face in person. so my point is all this RUDE comment he's posting is nonsense. by the way i've been nice on this forum ever since.

    and thanks powerkickazz. your making me cry. im emo by the way. lol

    yeah i don't necessarily agree with zeratul11's posts all the time but just catching up on what's been said, I'm surprised this hasn't come up before.

    what's the point in criticizing peoples' movie tastes other than to be rude and gang up on them? it's not like you're going to make them all of a sudden change their tastes just to adhere to your opinions

    about the oscars.. it's mainly a money thing.. and.. if they choose this movie or that movie.. it's because they have to choose between the movies that were made this year... which means.. you gotta choose between a bunch of crap.. because most of the recent stuff is pure crap made for teh $.

    so that's how lotr can win..

    you gotta agree that lotr is better than some random shitty movie..

    (btw: i ***king hate lotr.. it's pure shit imo)
