Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

So much thought being wasted on this children's sword and sorcery fantasy....

Either you like it or you don't. There's really no need to explain it further, anymore than you should have to explain why Ghostbusters didn't make you laugh or Titanic didn't make you cry. Movies are simply entertainment designed to put paying customers into theater seats, hopefully after they stop at the concession stand for a 40oz drink, a Theodin-sized tub of buttered popcorn and a box of Milk Duds.

I was recently extremely bored and realized the situation couldn't get much worse if I took the time to see ROTK. It wasn't that bad. At least it had a real ending(s) unlike the first two LOTR movies. The ring was melted, and as we know from Terminator 2, where that crucial microchip was dispatched with in a similar way, that's absolutely conclusive. Jar Jar (or whatever his name was) fell into the molten lava with the ring so we can be nearly 50% sure he won't show up again in a sequel. Sam overcame his homosexual attraction to Frodo and settled for a female hobbit. The black-haired human rose to the throne of that battle-ravaged wedding cake of a city and immediately got his subjects to work completely restoring it in record time for his coronation. Frodo and Dildo set sail for the New World where the horse paths are paved with gold that (hopefully) doesn't reveal reddish-hued Elvish script when heated.

So that, after 9 hours of viewing, is what it all came down to. I had no life-changing epiphany. I don't understand myself, humanity, God or the universe in a new, enlightened way. But the truth is, I NEVER expect this from any "film" I see, even if it is a "superior" work of art from France or Russia, so I agree with Audiophilander and his wife.
