| | | Well the Hobbit is a separate story than the LOTR trilogy. They're related ONLY through the existence of the ring and a FEW same characters. But it's an entirely different adventure.
When JRR Tolkein sat down to write a book, he wrote the hobbit. And it came easily to him. It just literally flowed from his pen. Then, years later, he attempted to write the LOTR trilogy. Which didn't come as easily and (as you can tell from reading all of them) aren't as smoothly written as 'The Hobbit'.

I saw Star Wars, A New Hope EIGHT times in 2 weeks at our little theatre, (yes I know I'm dating myself here. lol). THAT was a big deal back then, before the invention of VCR's or DVD players. That movie just AMAZED the hell out of me. And the two to follow were just as great. Episode I and II weren't NEAR as clever or entertaining to me. Maybe I just lost that "child-like" wonderment.
However, I still think Peter Jackson did an incredible job with LOTR. I read it when I was sixteen and let me tell you, THAT is a very hard story to condense. | |

| | | Yeah, I thought it was hilarious how they thought they could just ride the Star Wars name and make another fortune then after they both flopped they backed off and said "Whoa guys we really suck, we should actually try to make a good third movie." So now we gotta wait. Those two movies did seem way too shallow.....except Samuel L. in the second one, WHATCHA!!!

| | | What got me was how the later two looked NEWER when they were supposed to have been before the trilogy of the seventies. I know new technology and special affects made it better, but I felt cheated somehow. And what was Lucas thinking? He wrote all these stories, why didn't he take the time to make The Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones as enjoyable as the first three? Makes you wonder why he did it in the first place. Fans or money. He should've done Episodes I, II and III YEARS ago. | |

| | Same. I sometimes always get a headache whenever I try to read LOTR. It's well hard for me. But the movies are well sound. I absolutely love it. Hehehe. Especially Legolas Greenleaf.  | |

| | | You know it's such a really weird feeling when someone else pees on your crotch while you're still fully dressed and standing up. It feels like you're wetting yourself but you're not letting loose any urine. I'm not saying I get my jollies from it, just a really weird feeling.
