And according to wikipedia it states that Lucas drew some influence from Tolkien.

Whats so special about LOTR anyway?

That's pretty much like someone who knows nothing about Star Wars coming up to you asking what's so special about Star Wars.  Instead of sounding so offish towards anything Lord of the Rings go and watch it.  Once you have judge it for yourself.

It all depends on your point of view. What makes it special to me does not mean it will be the same for others.

For me it is a wonderful fantasy world to escape to (like Star Wars)

I also think it is a great story and told very well.

I am beyond stoked.  So many good games coming this fall and Christmas season.  Going to have a big dent in the bank account.

Can't believe I haven't heard of this before.

But Jackson did a great job! Would have liked to see the stuff that they missed but you cant please everyone! The books are far better then the movies but they were still great! I also love his other books, which I collect when I can spare a few thousand dollars! My prize collection is a first edition "Farmer Giles of Ham" still in the original dust jacket! It was a present and is right up there with my Osaka Tin wind-up Boba Fett as my most favorite item I own! Can't wait for the Hobbit, my wife has Smaug tattooed on her foot from the title page of the book! Looks Mad!

Pretty much same here.

If they added Tom and the Wights in the movie, though, it would just be even longer, like 4 and a half hours. They had to cut it off somewhere. It still would've been cool to see though.

It is the same for me.

I think they should have done two movies for each section of the book.

Anyway.  The movies were probably the most accurate book turned movie I have ever seen.  There were some big disappointments like Tom Bombadil and the barrow-wights.

The main story line please.  The first part bored me to death.  It's like reading genealogy in the Bible.  But the second half of the book stepped up the action.  Morgoth is one of my fav villains.  Sauron is pretty cool though.  I was unhappy with the movie portrayal.  He looked fat.  tongue

Well, every movie made from a book is worse than the book. For example, in The Hitch Hiker's Guide (or what is it neutral ) is so many characters you can only imagine in your mind and when someone puts those characters in a movie, that's propably a disappointment...

not necessarily. there have been really good book adaptations, such as Lord of the Rings.

In Draco's case, it's because he's so cool that cool movies don't seem as cool..........that and the only heavy metal in the movie in the dude's armor   tongue
