Movie was incredibly mediocre
Are you really sorry?Movie was incredibly mediocre, sorry.
"incredibly mediocre" can be interpreted as "Amazingly enough, it's mediocre"Are you really sorry?
How can something be incredibly mediocre? That's kind of an oxymoron.
Hey, feel how you want about the movie, but the score was solid. And I say that when I didn't think it would be, coming off of LOTR."incredibly mediocre" can be interpreted as "Amazingly enough, it's mediocre"
Considering the pedigree of talent that went into it, from the composer to the director to the acting, it should have been equal in calibre to the LOTR trilogy. It ain't.
Yeah, we need a tag on the forum stat.Movie was incredibly mediocre, sorry. Just watched it this weekend and it was unbearably slow paced. That's not to say there aren't good parts about it: the acting was good, the set design was identical to the originating LOTR trilogy. But damned if they didn't drag things out immensely. Peter Jackson's fondness for excess like King Kong knows no bounds.
Just started watching LOTR again and The Hobbit isn't even in the same ballpark quality wise.
VIEWING PARTY!!!I just watched the Two Towers Extended edition last night... I friggin' love the LOTR trilogy.
Huge praise indeed!I think the Extended Edition of Two Towers is one of the best things humanity has ever, ever created and achieved. Not only in movies, mind you, I'm stacking it up against calculus and Newton, Darwin, porn, you name it. It's up there.
I can agree with that with one exception: they do the whole "ghosts charge from behind and through Aragon twice. It worked great in the theatrical cut because he was charging, which the enemy was almost laughing at...and then their expressions change on a dime when the ghosts shift into view.ROTK's extended stuff never felt like they put in what used to be deleted scenes, but instead gives the movie as it's meant to be.
Peter Jackson get shot with an arrow and the whole Gimli shifting Legolas' shot.
