Lord Of The Rings Movies Set

What is your favorite Lord of the Rings movie?
I am an enormous fan of all three The Lord of the Rings films, but some people actually prefer one film out of the trilogy that is their favorite. I love all of the films very much, but for some reason The Fellowship of the Ring is just the best of the three in my opinion. Its epic and awe inspiring, and really set the standard for modern fantasy films! It was also a milestone in cinema because nothing had ever been done like it before! So what is your favorite film in the trilogy, and why? Is it Fellowship, Towers, or King??? Let me know, im curious!
I agree, the Return of the King was the best film (and my favorite) It soared to the highest heights and had the most dramatic battles. I think the Two Towers was in every way better than the first film, but it’s almost entirely overlooked being stuck in the middle.
The funny thing is, the Lord of the Rings movies are similar to the original Star Wars (and Harry Potter) films- The first one is the most fondly remembed even though it was actually surpassed by later films. The reason Fellowship of the Ring (and Episode IV) are so memorable is because they took us there FIRST. They completely immersed us into that cinematic world, and every scene was something new and exciting.
Seeing the Hyperspace drive kick in for the first time, the Death Star or seeing the forests, cliffs and plains of Middle Earth, the Tower at Eisengard. The first films just have such a grand scope, by later installments we’re more focused on the story advancement and sadly, take some of those things that made us say “WOW”, for granted.
In retrospect, quite a bit of time in Fellowship of the Ring was spent walking.. through plains, forests and cabbage fields, but we hardly noticed.

Low Life $19.95 Hailed by critics as one of the most underrated and moving Generation X films to come out of the American independent cinema, The Low Life has finally reached cult status after its initial theatrical release in 1996. A Day of the Locust for the Gen-X Set! wrote Steven Holden of The New York Times when he praised director George Hickenlooper (Factory Girl, Mayor of the Sunset Strip) for his funny and timeless semi-autobiographical portrayal of young, over educated twenty-somethings struggling to make ends meet on the fringes of Hollywood.Through brilliant, hilarious dialogue, extraordinary performances and sensitive direction, The Low Life creates a dark, satiric world of languid discomfort, survival, and the ultimate impossibility of trying to be an artist without facing one’s passions. As the film takes an unexpected, emotional turn at the end, the director proves that there is a right way to survive in a cynical world. With colorful, award-winning performances by a powerful ensemble cast that includes Rory Cochrane (Dazed and Confused), Kyra Sedgwick (The Closer), Sean Astin (Lord of the Rings), Ron Livingston (Office Space), James LeGros (Zodiac), J.T. Walsh (A Few Good Men), Tony Award-winning Jefferson Mays (I Am My Own Wife), Shawnee Smith (Leaving Las Vegas), Angel Aviles (Mi Vida Loca), Antoni Corrone (We Own the Night), Sara Melson (The Big Brass Ring) in addition to Renee Zellweger (Bridget Jones’ Diary) in one of her first cinematic appearances. In this new director’s cut, The Low Life finds an even broader audience as it delivers a fresh punch to the gut of nameless, faceless, decadent Los Angeles. |
