The Lord of the Rings movie opens this Christmas. Anyone else going to see it?

Heck yeah! I've been watching the trailers obsessively *g* I first read The Hobbit when I was ten or eleven, and I've been hooked ever since! So far the movie looks great... here's a place where you can download the trailers in Quicktime.

That movie is going to be kicking!Can't wait.i also love the Hobbit.

Dude! I have probably been waiting for a movie based on "The Lord of the Rings" since before you were born (yeah, I'm old :p )! I am so there!!!

I have read all of those books.. i can't wait to see it,, it will be wild to see all of the characters come to life...

I'm looking forward to seeing it too. Always loved The Lord of the Rings. :)

Oh yeah, I'm there on Wednesday the 19th when the doors open! This is my most aniticipated movie event in the past few years! Frodo Lives!!!

Yes! I'll be there! I'm re-reading the Hobbit now to get preped! :D

I am sooooo excited to see this movie. I've been driving my brother crazy about seeing it with me since he flies home the day before it opens. I just know it's gonna rock. Woo-hoo!

I will just wait and you guys give me a review before I decide to go see it.

I'm with Stacy on that one, though I'm sure my kids will see it opening weekend. My son is crazy about that series.

NOOOOO! It got magic in it, so it is of the debil! :rolleyes: J/K....Sorry, couldn't resist....LOL
Actually, I can't wait! :D

I have read the books several times. I am really looking forward to the movie(s). I even went to Burger King and got the cool glass goblets that lights up. I know they are geeky, but I can't help it. I have a feeling that my wife will accidently drop them one by one VERY SOON.

The cruelty! Hehe. I keep meaning to get at least one of the goblets, just to see. How cheesy is the light-up effect?

I went to see Harry Potter with my mom, and it was the first time she'd seen an LOTR trailer. She was so excited, she kept grabbing my arm and going "ooh! ooh!" like a little kid. Score one for the hippies who got into Tolkien way back when.

I just got roped into a dumb meeting on the afternoon of the 19th, when I was planning on taking the day off and standing in line. Rrrr! It's probably just as well.

It's very cheesy, Mary. Two small red light shooting through a thick glas hardly makes any effect. But it scores high on the geek-meter ;)

I wanted to get a goblet too, but the wicked powers that be took all the Burger Kings out of my town this summer. I'm sooooo bummed! :( Now let's see how much of a geek I am...I haven't decided whether a road trip is order yet or not. :p

Only 14 more days.....

VioletFoxx, I agree, it sucks to have lost Burger Kings in town and a roadtrip is a necessity. San Antonio still has Burger Kings, but on the way to Houston I saw several boarded up when I was up there in August.

Frodo Lives!!!

Well he could personally deliver them with only his "Tool" belt on
;)

Just bumping this thread to the top! TOMORROW NIGHT GUYS!!

I'm soooo excited!!!! Don't think I'll be going tomorrow though (later today now). :(
My brother is coming into town tomorrow (today) and I have to get him at the airport. But the next day....watch out! Woo hoo!!

I have a friend who is going @ midnight tonight (so he's watching it about now)& I'm jealous. :( But I'm taking my sons to see it this weekend for sure! :)

I wanna go!! I wanna go!! I unfortunately won't have time for it until after New Years. By then I will be the only person left on the planet, who hasn't seen it. :(

What? There is no Burger Kings in Corpus Christi? That is weird! I know you have plenty of Whataburgers though! LOL Like a friend told me that lives in C.C., "Yes, they are on every corner."

Yikes! I must be a HUGE Geek, I bought 3 sets of those goblets :D

My daughter thinks I'm insane because I bought a bust of Gandalf, it's on back order, hopefully it doesn't take 3 months to get it *lol* Can't wait to see this movie!

A bust of Gandalf :eek: COOL!!!!

I'm not allowed to use my goblets during dinners anymore. I drink myself full and never finish my veggies. Same reason why I can't have my lightsabers back. :(

LMAO! At ya Flix http://www.plauder-smilies.de/laugh.gif http://www.plauder-smilies.de/happy/xyxthumbs.gif

My son saw this movie today (12/19/01) and says it is awesome. I'm mad at him because he didn't wait for the rest of us. Will see ASAP! Someone please post a review. jen

The evil Empire of Whataburger is WHY we have no Burger Kings anymore! And yes, they are on every corner. Lucky me though, my buddy in Dallas is getting me a set off goblets for Xmas. YAY!!!!

So, who saw the movie? How was it? Please do post reviews. I'm going this weekend and I can't wait!!!

P.S. - Flixxy, you're too funny doll! :D

Saw it, loved it, would recommend it to all but little kids. :D
It lived up to it's billing and was true to the books. Not an ounce of fluff in this movie. This was the first time I ever left a movie feeling guilty for only paying $7 to see it. LOL! :D

OMG! Buc, you are sooooo right! I just got back from seeing it half an hour ago and I am on cloud 9! This movie rocks! I couldn't believe how beautiful the sets were and the costumes, and the music, and just everything. I'm already planning to go see it again later this week. It was a huge emotional roller coaster for me...I laughed, I cried, I got mad, everything. Go see this movie as soon as you can! You will not be disappointed! :cool:

I'm planning on seeing it later on today and hearing how good it is, isn't helping me wait! LOL :p I'm spinning in my chair all exited. :D

We will expect a review from you upon your return from seeing the movie! :D

Alright Teddy boy, where's your review??? Am I gonna see it again before you even see it once? LOL! :D

I'm right there with ya VioletFoxx!! I'm going to see it again Wednesday or Thursday!! :) This is easily my favorite movie this year or maybe of all time!!

My aunt had to go to the hospital and we didn't get to go see the movie......we spent yesterday at her house and visited family. Today I hope to see it though, if nothing goes wrong. lol :)

Lord of the Rings is now my favorite movie! I loved it! The cinemaphotography was great! Can't wait for the DVD.
;)

Teddy, I hope everything is ok with your aunt Sweetie. Best wishes to her.

Trixter, dude, I'm so there! This is definately the best movie I've seen in forever. I may be going out on a limb here, but I'm doing it....Lord of the Rings is the Star Wars of this generation. There, I said it. *will now duck in case things start flying* :D

Thank you. :)


Your absolutly right about that Foxx. lol Sadly enough. :D I'm not a stars wars geek at all, I hate star wars but, Lord of the rings is my all time favorite story. :)

Hope your aunt is ok, man. Best wishes to her for a speedy recovery!

As for your Star Wars comment, that is absolute blasphemy! :D Just for that, the Force won't be with you! LOL

I'm not sure we can declare LOTR to be this generation's SW just yet. As far as movie quality, LOTR is just as good or better. But as far as cultural impact, it's got a long way to go to rival SW. Part of that, I think, is that many people already were familiar with the writings of Tolkien, whereas the whole SW story was a complete surprise! SW was a watershed in cinematic innovation also (I know, so was LOTR, in some people's opinion).

Will LOTR have the same impact? Perhaps, even probably, but it's too soon to tell. Besides, I haven't had the chance to play with the LOTR action figures yet. :D

I just saw LOTR..........I can't even do it justice with words! I loved it too much. :) They stayed true to book........which was very importent to me. :)

He's the master of that. lol maybe you should. :p

I tried to see over the holidays but every time I went it was sold out...

I can't wait to see it :)

Lord of The Rings was so awesome!!! Taz..you just have to see it!!! I was on the edge of my seat the whole movie! I just loved it!

I think Lord of the Rings should do a clean sweep at the awards counter. Harry Potter was good but this was exceptional............

Ok.... I saw it over last weekend and... it... was...


AWSOME!! :thumb:
