more LOTR

[yozora_no_onna]

I just got back from the cinema. 

I first watched Lord of the Rings, and then went to watch Harry 
Potter (for the third time).  It was really amazing, the difference 
in these two productions. 

I think Lord of the Rings, as a film, was much better than the film 
of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer/Philosopher's Stone. It seemed more 
real and full of emotion. To be honest, there were parts of the HP 
film where I felt it was rather contrived (This was mainly because I 
felt that Dan Radcliffe, although he looks the part, still needs a 
lot of practice; I felt that there wasn't much emotion in his 
characterisation.)

I was frankly, blown away by LOTR. I don't know how much it conforms 
to Tolkien's own vision, but I thought it was a fantastic movie. 

Even Liv Tyler, although I didn't like her earlier work, I liked her 
as Arwen. :)

The CG and scenery are very realistic; sometimes it was a little too 
much like a RPG video game though...

For me, that scene wasn't scary at all. 
I found the part in Rivendell, with Bilbo and Frodo, that part was 
the most frightening!

Yes!! Even though it's 3 hours, it's not nearly long enough. 
It's very frustrating knowing that the other 2 films are finished but 
it's not being released until the end of next year! 
I shall die of impatience~~~! *laugh* 

Viggo Mortensen was very good too, I thought. Cate Blanchett too, as 
always.
