Metallus Posted February 15, 2002 Share Posted February 15, 2002 Who is it competing against? Pearl Harbor? I don't think it'll have too much trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tall Guy Posted February 15, 2002 Share Posted February 15, 2002 now that was a flop...ok so it might have brought in millions but it was a crappy film Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metallus Posted February 15, 2002 Share Posted February 15, 2002 Aye, I think the only category where it could stand up to FoTR is in visual effects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeddlingMonk Posted February 16, 2002 Author Share Posted February 16, 2002 I think the only real competition for best picture is A Beautiful Mind...the sort of Serious Drama that usually wins best picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tellus12 Posted February 17, 2002 Share Posted February 17, 2002 special effects nowadays are used way way too much and ruin films cos there are way too many which creates so much action that you become bored of it, take star wars, i loved the 1st 3, the budget was reall;y low on the 1st one but was fantastic, then comes along episode 1 and 2 with all the hype of the 21st century and get pasted with special effects and a bit of crap acting, lord of the rings was really good for mainstream fantasy but i dont think its gonna turn many heads 20 years down the line.

Tall Guy Posted February 17, 2002 Share Posted February 17, 2002 nah i think LOTR is a great film and i recon it will still turn heads in 20 years cos its an acheivment of epic proportion...(ignore me....i just like big words!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeddlingMonk Posted February 18, 2002 Author Share Posted February 18, 2002 The Lord of the Rings is one of those things: if you like it you do: if you don't, then you boo! So said Tolkien back in the '50s. I think it goes for the movies, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claire_X Posted February 24, 2002 Share Posted February 24, 2002 I for one hope the LOTR aces the BAFTA's! I agree with Tall Guy - it has to win *something* surely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claire_X Posted February 26, 2002 Share Posted February 26, 2002 Hah! I knew they would win *something*! 5 was it? I didn't actually watch, ended up seeing something on ITV instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeddlingMonk Posted February 26, 2002 Author Share Posted February 26, 2002 Yes, best picture is something. But I doubt a repeat performance at the Oscars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tall Guy Posted February 26, 2002 Share Posted February 26, 2002 nah, it has to win somethin at the oscars...c'mon it wasn't that bad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tellus12 Posted February 27, 2002 Share Posted February 27, 2002 i agree, was a pretty good film, fans go mental, im not a fan but was quite entertained, from some of the crap ive seen lately though, aye...anyway i think it deserved best picture, bbut the sequel will be very much anticipated and no offence....probably disappointing as most sequels are, very few films better their originals, obv some exceptions, and ith games its different of course...GF2 hint cough* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tall Guy Posted February 28, 2002 Share Posted February 28, 2002 I actually think that the 2nd and 3rd lotr film will be good, this must be the first film ever where i really think that the sequals will live up to the original Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
