    LORD OF THE RINGS!!

    I agree totally with the no more Lord of the Rings votes. The cast and the films are so boring. It actually puts me off wanting to go to shows like this. And by the way, why is enjoying that there will be no more Lord of the Rings films 'so ignorant'? Ignorant of what exactly? Or are you just rambling incoherrently like Lord of the Rings fans tend to do?

    Right if anyone wants to have go you text HEAT 9 to 86133. As well as entering the competition you're voting for LOTR as film of the year. You win two tickets to the BAFTAs, plus hotel accomodation and a meal out as well as an Orange phone. Btw you have to be over 18, sorry :D:D

    What other numbers and films are there?

    It's a shame you didn't enjoy the film, as so many other thousands of people did. You are of course entitled to your personal opinion, and I appreciate that it won't be everyone's cup of tea. However, if you went to see The Return of the King, and have obviously seen the first two films also - Did you like those? If not then why did you go and see the third film? Or did you like the first two and are just dissapointed with the third? Just curious..... :P

    I thought The Fellowship was slow, but got better toward the end when Gandalf fought on the bridge, so I gave The Two Towers a go. This was slightly better and was a much more concentrated film where the action never seemed to let up and there was a real feeling of danger for the characters (who I still didn't really care for, they're just not very interesting), so I saw Return of the King purely to see how the story panned out.

     

    It seemed that Jackson didn't really have enough story for Return of the King (even though he allegedly shot over 6 hours worth), and it was obvious by the viewing. It was plodding, boring and could probably have been wrapped up by extending the Two Towers by an extra hour.

     

    As a whole I don't think the LOTR works, but as you say I'm entitled to my opinion, which is probably the same as the many people who left our screening after the first 90 minutes.

     

    I can say with all honesty that when we left the screen not one person had a good word to say about it. They either expressed disappointment, ranted or said nothing at all. Make of that what you will.

    Return of the King was among the dullest films I have had the displeasure of seeing all year.

     

    I found it to be unengaging, plodding, and in places very shoddily edited. Gollum the first time he appeared was dreadful, terrible effects. What happened between Two Towers and this one? He looks like Morph, I kept expecting Chad and Grandpa to turn up and for Tony Hart to pluck him off the screen and put him back in his box.

     

    There was a lot of waiting around done by both the characters and the audience. This film could have been edited so much better, as it was it was clock watching, mind numbingly boring.

     

    The characters had no charisma what so ever, and I wanted to kick Frodo every time I saw him. What a limp wristed wimp, constantly being attacked and falling prey to this that or the other, he was essentially Daphne in Scooby Doo in these films, constantly having to be rescued by someone or other. How can he be respected as a so-called hero. (I noticed that the AFI's top 100 Heroes and Villains of all time on Channel 4 last night had not one character from Lord of the Rings. They obviously make that much of an impression.)

     

    I really didn't enjoy these films at all. Instead of releasing extended editions maybe Peter 'Meet the Feebles' Jackson should concern himself with editing the 9 hours of celluloid he has wasted down to one coherent 2 hour film.
