Dead boring. Coma inducing crap. Luckily I had a few shots of adrenalin handy or I'd be dead now
Plus they've changed Tolkien's storyline so much, they don't seem too sure how to end it all.

    You were bored because the Orks look like you.

    I actually talked to Peter Jackson about you. I told him "Pete (we're pretty close), WalkingCarpet told me that the movie caused him to slip into a coma, and almost die"

    He said "Then my work is done".

    What if they're not stars? What if they are holes poked in the top of a container so we can breath?

      Really? He said that even though you used the word, "almost?"

        Remember, Orks are hard to kill.

          Dedication, commitment, work ethic, blood lust. Which of these terms are lost on you?

            I imagine that you hear that from girls all the time. It isn't a word, you know. It's the sound people make when they verp.

            Trust me, I've heard it enough times myself.

        Edit: LOL overlapped with Claude.

          I knew all that. I was just busting on Claude for his misspelling.

            Of course you can never learn too much about LotR

              Don't hold back WC, tell us what you really think!

              True, after enduring the long treaks through the New Zealand landscape, and slimey creatures and depressing cold streams and overacting, l was signing my last will and testament!

              Then the Hobbit series began, and l thought this can't be good!

              I did try to watch one on tv, recently, but the thought of slitting my wrists, and screaming, "l am as mad as hell,......" out of the nearest window got too much, so l stopped!

              The hobbits fighting another boring battle with slimey creatures and the occasional tree, is lost on me!

              Not even the Harry Potter Wizard, getting angry and the Precious ring creature would be enough for me to keep my interest!

              At least the Hunger Games is set in the future and has a reasonably hot actor, with a futureistic ship every half hour to stop mass theatre suicides, was better than that!

              Yes, walk into a Holographic, theatre in 2030, and go see, "The Hobbit part 32, Smeg, Smegs off, and Roasts a Chicken for Laughs"!

              Well, l might go see that one?

              Better than Star Wars, Prequel, Sequel, "Mickey Mouse and the Dark Lord Sith thing"!

    I never really got into the hobbit / Lord of the Rings series. I know people are fascinated by it but I just couldnt get into it.

    I'm not a fan, so when the battle began, I was lost. I didn't know who was fighting against who, and frankly, that guy, the leader of the Hobbit's friends, was pissing me off with his incessant desire to get that... whatever he wanted to get.
