I never said they weren't great movies. They are. It's still subjective, though. Especially on whether you prefer them over others.
 
Always analogies with you. Every time. :lol

Just saying that the fantasy genre isn't for everyone, no matter how well-made the film may be. Saying "The Hobbit will be better than all of the superhero movies combined" is a stretch, at least for me.

Besides, what if Hobbit turns out to be the TPM of the franchise? : panic:
Hey, hey, hey... Darth Maul. That is all.

:lol
 
Best movie summer ever? it was? Only saw avengers and batman haven't seen the expendables 2 yet, what else was there to see?
 
It's not a stretch. It probably will be. LotR is already better than every superhero movie combined.
They're some of the greatest movies ever made whether you like the genre or not.

Absolutely. I never thought that'd be the case before I saw the film, though.

I think some of you highly overrate/over-value THOR, though. It's not bad, but it's far from great and has tons of issues.
And I think some of you highly underrate/under-value Thor, though. So, :nana:

Iron Man 1 and Thor are the only good Pre-Avengers movies. The reset are super average at best.
This post is super average at best.

^^ Iron Man 2 is better than the Hulk? :( I absolutely hated IM2. :lol

Every day ofthe week and twice on Sunday.

Yup. And it'll still be better than all of the Superhero movies this summer combined.

As awesome as the avengers was IMO this is totally dead on.

Sure, if dwarves and elves are your thing.

They happen to be. :rock

No kidding considering it was a smaller book than all three LOTR novels which each fit into one movie.

It's because he's adding information from the appendices that explain much of what was going on behind the scenes.

Yeah. Could've been done as one 3+ hr movie, but money talks so we'll get three. :lol

Not really. If you have an interest and knowledge of the subject matter you know this isn't true.

It isn't but the same can be said for anything. I'm of the mind that no film this year will be as good as the hobbit. If others don't agree that's cool but it doesn't factor into how I think or feel. It's kind of like with Thor. I love that movie and think its damn awesome you don't which is fine. You feeling differently is fine and as a friend I respect that but it doesn't mean I'm gonna change my thoughts or opinions on the movie.
 
Yeah well keep it to yourself bucko, I want to hear which superhero movie is better than FOTR. :lecture
Mmkay :wave

Better "made" superhero movie than the 3rd Lord of the Rings movie? Hrm. . .might go with the Incredibles, actually. The latter was as good a 3-D movie as I've seen. Animation was great, voice acting was perfectly cast, cinematographic elements were fantastically done, score was great, conflict and tension were just about perfectly balanced over the course of the movie, etc. Felt more natural and didn't have any bad CG like LOTR 3 (like when the elf guy jumps on the back of the big elephant). Incredibles was also funnier and kinda more memorable :horror LOTR 3 was a more epic movie of course, and had lots of fancy fight sequences and whatnot. But if I'm just going on which was a better "made" movie, Incredibles wins :hi5:

Oh, that's just terrific. I always wanted Michael Westen to play Bilbo Baggins. Is Ash going to be his quirky comic relief bff?

Sorry, that's the impression I got from what you just said; that they are basically going to unearth every single trivial and/or contrived detail and spout it to us in a monotonous narrative throughout the entire trilogy. Dear god, I think I just threw up in my mouth a little.

Don't get me wrong, I love the Hobbit and have read it quite a few times, but to me doing more than the one film just seems... unnecessary. I mean, I would rather have the one good film and leave it at that, than draw the process out with various bits of information that may or may not cause the integrity of the project to turn on its head.

Okay, stopping now. I sound like Sheldon from The Big Bang Theory, lol. :lol

It's not really minute details. More like an entire battle against Sauron before he goes to Mordor again. And probably some history for the Dwarves, kind of like the prologue to FOTR.

Concerning length, The Hobbit is written differently than LOTR. While The Hobbit was made for children and merely said something along the lines of "They fought", LOTR would spend pages dedicated to the explanation and details of said fight. This kinda leads to an inflation of the length of the book comparatively.

Yeah, but all of those films involved countless battles too. So, it kinda sorta evens out. :lol

Anyway, they better know what they're doing. If you thought people complained about LOTR being two movies too long... I can't wait to see what happens this time. Although, it's not exactly the same. There's no strapping Frodo to a giant ass Eagle, flying him over Mount Doom and tossing in the One Ring to save the day.
