A TTT poll

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> And I think we did get a lot - we got a movie that in the end WILL seem to be as good as FOTR, just done with a different approach. TTT really was the hardest one to do - it's got that "middle child" syndrome; no beginning, no end, and six million unresolved subplots. I'm sure that in ROTK - when the characters start to converge again - we'll be thorougly happy again <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> If you want to really enjoy this movie, switch off your exacting critic and watch it as it was seen by thousands of people that never read the books. It took me three viewings to get it. It isn't Tolkien, it's Peter Jackson, and it's really amazing - for Peter Jackson. FotR stayed with the book, TTT didn't, but that's okay because neither of them are the books, regardless of what Jackson promised. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> Both movies have and serve their own purpose. I may not agree with the order of events and I certainly don't agree with Making good guys out to be bad but it served it's purpose and kept the story going. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>Amen, amen, amen. As a movie I loved it. Is it true to the books? No. Will I still watch it? Yes. Will I still like it? Yes.<P>Is it better than FOTR? I like 'em both. I'll have to let TTT grow on me before I fully decide. Watching ROTK might help, too. It is a trilogy after all. It's kind of hard to make judgment about something when we don't have the whole piece of the pie, yet. Just a nibble. "Do not be so eager to deal out 'scorn' in judgment... For even the very wise can not see all ends." (paraphrasing, but hey) Maybe we can all decide better after seeing all that PJ has to show us.
