Yes I did fully. I still remember most of it until this day.... When I was watching The Fellowship of the Ring, I was pretty amazed that what I had envisioned in my head was what was actually on the screen.

Amazing

hehe. i know lots and lots of people who work at the local theatre, so i get to see it for free at like 1:00am when no1 is there.

[Gitaroo Man]

I'd go if i didn't have finals!! AHHH!!

i get an adrenaline rush whenever i think of it!!! i would camp out but i would probably get hurt/something else bad as the theater that will have the movie is in the kinda bad part of town so thats not gonna work... i think that going to get the tickets the second they open will suffice...

It has one of the coolest previews I've ever seen. I would love to go see it, but don't want to be there with a crowd. Besides, I'm going to be in a play all the rest of this week (playing Ebenezer Scrooge, of all things), so I'll be far to busy.

BTW- Aaron_mag, this may not be quite as applicable to you since you're married and therefore live with your girl, but three hour movies make GREAT dates.

i think i'll go after the crowds die down a little. i don't like fighting with all the nuts.

rdb- i loved the feeling of "wow this is just like i imagined. all the little details that subtly cue off of the book really made the experience great for me. on the special edition the extra footage is definitely worth it. you'll recognize a few things from the book that didn't make it into the final cut of the movie. there's also extended sequences that explain things a little bit more. all of the extra footage is good stuff. it's not stuff that got cut because it sucked. they got cut because they weren't central to the story and the movie was pushing the edge on length already.

capo- have you looked at that free ticket thing that came with the special edition? i haven't really looked at it yet. are there any restrictions?

greasy- i guess fantasy just isn't your thing? there weren't many problems i could see with the movie. the music was a little repetitive. good but repetitive. the transformation scenes (gandalf, galadriel, and bilbo changing appearance and voice) were a little overdone. other than that i've got no gripes with the movie at all. the acting was good. the special effects were pretty darn cool. BALROG! and the story flowed very well. the books kinda dragged on with way too much detail. they could make an entire movie of just getting to the prancing pony. think the movies are long now? imagine a trilogy based on just the first book. i think it lost a lot of the suspence that you find early on in the book but i definitely have to agree with the decision not to draw that part out. too long. and the explanations wouldn't have flowed as well as a flashback midmovie.

this post is getting long i'm going to stop now.

I felt the same way! But they were also overdone in the book as well. In some ways I actually like the movie better. First off I actually liked the character of Aragorn in the movie. In the books you get a little sick of him talking about how he is the son of blah blah blah. Aragorn in the movie had some doubts...he was human. You could actually identify with him.

The Boromir character was also done just right. They didn't make him a simple character (hate this character. he cannot resist the lure of the ring). They got him just right....

It was a good movie. As you can see I can get a little over analytical...

Is our AGDiva a serious Tolkien nut or what?

yes, definitely!

Ah ok cool. So definitely worth the 30 dollar price tag (at Best Buy)?

Well, it is definitely worth it if you want to see more from the book. There's more character development, and more background into what is to come. The extras are great too, took a while to watch them all.

capo- have you looked at that free ticket thing that came with the special edition? i haven't really looked at it yet. are there any restrictions?

I just looked at it briefly so I didn't get to read the restrictions. I'll make sure to look at that, next time!

the transformation scenes (gandalf, galadriel, and bilbo changing appearance and voice) were a little overdone.

I agree with you on Galadriel's scene being overdone. I didn't quite like the way they did it. Apart from that, I loved everything else. The score, acting, and special effects were exceptional!

I'll be there for the 12:01AM show on opening day. This is a tradition for all LOTR and star wars movies for me and my friends.

[PaintballSucka]

oh Im most defintely going to go see the movies, almost done with the book and already got my tickets 3:30 Wed Dec 18. Man I cannot wait, its gonna be the best movies out there, because the books was killa.

[Strider]

OoooHhh yeh, I'll be there!

Take a wild guess where I took my nickname from?

Read it about 10 years ago now...

I probably won't read the LOTR trilogy until after I see the final movie. It seems that I enjoy a movie MORE if I don't read the book first. I made the mistake of reading Episode II: Attack of the Clones before I saw the movie, and while I liked it, it wasn't as enjoyable as it could've been.

To get back on topic, I can't wait to see The Two Towers. The first movie rocked, and was very well produced.
