Why do I get the feeling they're going to **** this up in the most epic way possible?



Why can't we have a backstory movie about Gandalf?
Oh it’s going to be awful. Jackson can only do so much for a character that no one wants to see. It’s also why they are putting the extended editions back in theaters for a time. It’s their golden goose and they are hoping to milk the franchise for all they can. Greed is going to destroy what Jackson built.

The Ents were good and actually part of the books. While Gollum is, he was never a character that was meant to stand on his own which is why the determination to force him down everyone’s throat is mind numbing.

We're in our 50s, 60s and 70s now... how much longer do we have to pretend
to care about this rehashed trash?

Hollywood is out of good ideas, its starving for ideas and its eating itself now.. they're going to trash every good series from here on out with countless redo's and "alternate universes"

I'd rather watch old Gunsmoke reruns, and I will
Gunsmoke is ****ing trash.

It wasn't so much the concept of the Ents; it was the execution. You had all the amazing special effects and groundbreaking CGI, and tossed into the middle of it was these goofy walking trees that were straight out of H.R. Pufnstuf.

The Ents are amazing in the books.

They're just this sort of overpowered party trick in the movies. Because you don't really understand the weird, sad backstory of them.

That said - "A Wizard should know better!" was still a strangely badass line.

The ents are very frustrating in their slow moving call to action but ****ing badass when they let shit rip finally.

I thought Merry Pip and the Ents destroying Isengard was the highlight of the entire movie trilogy. it was the only fight the hobbits took part in that was feasible.

It was fun but I can’t agree with Helm’s Deep and Minas Tirith on screen.

I really love the whole scene in Moria from Fellowship as well.

What issues did you have with them? Genuinely curious.

he was saying he liked those scenes better than the dam bursting at Isengard

Gotcha. I guess I misread it.
