lotr....i dont see why people go "It's such a great film" - because the trilogy, as film, is actually not brilliant. the lotr film trilogy is an almost flawless example of how to do a "Film Epic", but no epic on film is ever gonna be absolutely brilliant. It was boring in places, lets face it. And that's cos they didnt want to miss out lots of stuff in the book - which is understandable....but that's why lord of the rings works so well in a book - because through writing, tolkein could be incredibly creative and yet at the same time interesting. It fustrates me as to why nearly all film award bodies have given lotr "best film", it is not the best film - at least not all 3 are....GRRR it makes me mad
