Has anybody seen/read Lord of the Rings?

Has anybody seen and/or read the Lord of the Rings? If you have, I'd love to hear your thoughts on it and how it compares with Harry Potter...

Hey, I've seen Lord Of The Rings! It was great ! It had tons of special effects. It was close to the book in some ways and it was different in some ways. Like Harry Potter some things that people may think were important were left out. But it was basically to the book. Part of the second book was at the end of the movie. I think it was really cool!

If you are planning to see the movie, there was a goof that the editors missed. when two of the hobbits are in a cornfield, a car is driving by in the distance. I didn't catch it the first time, but I'm sure it's there.

Welcome darkwitch

I saw Lord of the Rings a few weeks after seeing Harry potter and the Philosopher's Stone. I think that the two movies are very different but both are wonderful. Lord of the Rings seems to have a slightly darker feeling to it. Actually I was vey surprised at how much I enjoyed it as someone I knew a few years ago was very much into the Lord of The Rings books but at the time I could never get into them - the movie has totally changed all that, and although I've still not bought any of the LOTR books yet, they're definately on my list of books to read as soon as I get the time.

OK. I have just started reading Lord of the Rings (the post I made before was mostly my sibling, the biggest Lord of the Rings fan ever) and the book is quite different from the movie. For instance, at the begining, they left out the whole part about the Barrow Wights and Tom Bombadil, which would have had cool special effects.

[DeathEater666]

i thik it kept quite well to the book Tom Bombadil always gets missed out! But i don't think it would ave amde a lot of sence to people who havn't read the book!

I think i am the biggest LOTR fan actually! as u may be able to tell from my signiture!

[Shadow]

Can you recite every line from the movie? Made your own picture gallery? Do you spend almost every spare moment you can on forums of LOTR? And last, do you go on the internet, find pictures of orcs, cities, and people and spend hours figuring out what scene the picture is from???

I've read LOTR and I've seen the movie, but it isn't remotely as good as the book! Yes, there were special effects and beautiful scenery, but it was just too commercial with this bombastic music and romantic lines that weren't in the book at all (at least not in the 1st part). And the Hobbits were too pretty

[ermintrude2003]

i've read lotr and seen the movie, book is ok but hard to get into and confusin the 1st time u read it. But i would recommend u read it b4 watchin the movie! otherwise it just spoils it!

Yesterday, I went with my sister and some of her friends to Best Buy at 10:30 to wait for the movie to come out at 12:01. a radio station was there and we got free shirts and posters. My sister really cracked. We were doing this trivia thing, and she got into this whole thing about why Bilbo was turning 111, not 112.
