Oh boy...that guy needs some SERIOUS professional help in the form of a cast iron pot across the head. That was slaughter...Slander...he should be shot by one of those un modern elves
 I'm not gonna waste any more breath...he was born a jerk...he'll die a jerk and only his unbiased dogma will mourn him. Cheers, Sam ps. if it was a joke than it was an unbased joke. Something truely hilarious is the Review of Raplh Bakshi's lotr on the Tolkien Sarcasm page...now THAT is funny...because it's not maiming the books in the process

You don't need to read a book to be able to contradict something (though it would be the smart thing to do if you don't want to sound like an algjört (total) IDIOT) All you have to do is see the movie and know stuff obout another movie; Like what he said about Gollum copy-catting Harry Potter's Dobby and other stuff. You really think he read the book?

thought it was kinda rude to just go about dissing everything. but the person did apoligize. a few of the things there were kinda funny though.

The reason the eagles didn't haul Frodo to Morder
COLOR=crimson] Well would you like the book half as much if the Eagles just flew them to Mordor? And there was all those battles fought on foot. and think about the Nazgul's steeds with wings.[/COLOR]

Gaah! Me and my friend were doing a school project on Tolkien and found this! I e-mailed him with a bunch of choice words and a damn good argument. No I'm not lying. The guy is too chicken to write back.

BLASPHEMY!!!!!
Lord of the Rings does not suck! He/She did not read the books. It's these ignorant type that make me so mad!  He/She doesn't have the right to trash something he doesn't know about. *Frustrated sigh* this is why we Tolkein fans have to stick together, to undo the damage done by idiots such as the one who wrote up the article. *sigh*

I tend to think this guy was being at least semi-sarcastic when he wrote that. Besides, he does make a good points several times.

It's actually a parody of poor review sites, as I learned on their forum.

What?
7. Racism? How? Black is a colour of evil and bad and stuff, you arent going to go to Mordor and find pink towers, beautiful yellow BLACK birds flying around, the palantir (the glass seeing ball) isnt black, it can be any colour, it is black because Sauron uses it, he isnt going to be baby blue is he? 8. Gold, the stretchy element? what? anyone knows the ring was made to change shape to fit anyones finger, so it can claim them. That is why in the first film Isildur picked it up and it went smaller in his hand. 9. Without the violence the film would be boring and uninteresting, Sauron isnt going to ask nicely for the ring and Middle Earth is he? 12. Return of the living dead? whatever, Aragorn put the hobbits in a different room, the Wraiths went into the room they were in and stabbed the pillows, thats why when they pulled back the blankets feathers went everywhere 14. Are you talking about when Boromir held back the urak-hai? because if you were, he is a traimed fighter, a very talented warrior and very very determined. 16. If you saw the film or read the book you will know Gandalf fought the Balrog and fell through fire and water, he fell right down below the dwarfs tunnels, he didnt die 17. This is just pathetic. It is not a normal ring! 20. He is a wizard, Saruman is a wizard, you dont need strength to do that, you need magic 21. Bilbo? In Middle Earth, a lost and found? yeah, whatever 28. The Lord Of The Rings was made long long before Harry Potter ??. All your homage or thefts are rubbih, Tolkien wrote the books long before any of these were 38. Its called love. She said she would rather be with him for one life then face all the ages alone 43. The Watcher wasnt a bad guy, it just wanted to eat Frodo 49. The music was funky enough for you? Well sorry but YOU arent the creator, This world isnt based on YOUR favourites, or YOUR opinions so leave the creators alone. I would like to see you try to make a film so successful as Lord Of The Rings

One more thing to say, The statement about Eowyn fighting when she is clearly a woman was needless and predujice. In the book she said the thing she feared was not death or pain but a cage, to live her life behind bars.

I read that a really long time ago. WHAT AN IDIOT!! Just reading stuff like that makes me want to smack somebody (particularily the guy that wrote it). I repeat: WHAT AN IDIOT!! What a stupid guy. He obviously never read the books, and apparently didn't see any more of the movie than the whole thing in 'Preview Scenes' mode- MAYBE. I can't believe anybody can have that much nerve!!! I mean, to put something that dumb out for the rest of the world to see . . . Uuuuccggghhhh
!at least he apologized . . . at least

If that person is joking, I don't think its that funny.
If that person is not joking, someone better put them in an dumb idiot protection program because I will hunt them down, I will find them, and they will beg for death before the end!!!! AAAAAHH!!!!! j/k. maybe...

Quote:
The book had much less violence, especially when you consider the percentage of violence in book to movie. Are you then saying that the book was boring? Gandalf did die; this is specifically stated in the book. He was sent back by Eru. But not all of their homage and theft stuff was from the book, some was added to the movie. I've always had the impression that the Watcher was in fact a sentient being, and not a good one. Quote:

This guy's got anger issues.
I couldn't even get through the article, I found it much more than a pointless waste of time. Even in his apology he fails to mention the books.
