ok. lion king was a disney movie. not like one of disney's efforts to make a good movie like a lizzie maguire movie or whatever, a CARTOON DISNEY MOVIE. I thought it rocked. any movie with ostriches in it rox in my world.

-Ferris Bueller

C'mon, doesn't anyone else love ferris? Lol, my sn is saveferris281. please, i hope im not alone...

Lol, god, just shuttup you moron.

The matrix and LotR trilogies both were lcking a lot, in my opinion, they were kinda letdown that could have been a lot better. Seriously, some of the stuff in LotR is so stupid, my god, read the books then talk. The Army of the Dead acting as an instant win, i'll just use that as an example, that was eal dumb, and not how it was supposed to happen. Whatever, I'm not gonna list em all right now. ANYWAY, my point is that both the matrix trilogy and the lord of the rings trilogy fell short of what they could have been, the first matrix was great, then the 2nd two got worse progressively, Revolutions was dissapointing. Now, the star wars trilogy on the other hand, just seems to have more substance and quality to me. I'm talkin bout the Star Wars trilogy, not the current in the making star wars trilogy that awaits it's third capter.

Lion King was not the stupidest thing you've ever seen, you're habit of extrme exaggeration shines through brilliantly on this one, Lion King was not a bad movie in any way. I just thought it was pretty good so put it on there. I don't think there are any better animated films, but that's my opinion.

LOL! Did I complain about the troll? NOOOOOOOOO. I said it was stupid of them to use a computer generated Legolas, they EASILY could have made the movies without doing that. Jeez. CG is fine. When it's completely unnecessary, and obvious too, then it annoys me. Especially when it's on a literary masterpiece, in an ancient setting. I dunno, it seems wrong to me. The Oliphaunts and trolls were cool in CG (and it was necessary to use CG on them), but Legolas; NO.

monty python was awesome, if horrible when it comes to taste of humor. It was just so silly!

I don't really like a lot of the movies that end up making it big in theaters. I dont know why, but I like movies like "Monty Python's Holy Grail" and "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" or "Rocky Horror". It's really weird, and they are CERTAINLY not the best movies, but most of them have big followings still and people still quote movies like that at my school and I just like them more I guess.

Are you talking about Danny Elfman? OMG he's one of the best soundtrack composers I've heard yet!

___I give props to the movie "The Nightmare Before Christmas". Elfman is a movie-music genius, no doubt about it.

They could have just used a stunt double

1. That WAS a stunt
2. Orlando Does all his own stunts
3. His legs are CG because they had to put the Troll in and he had done the whole "jump on the Troll with a scaffolding
It was him but his legs got messed up because they had to put in a troll. Yes some computer generation is crappy but what can you expect? it's better than a guy in a suit roaring like a Troll and CG will improve with Technology

in the matirx movies

Yeah some of it could hvae been but not all you still hvae to jsut sit back and use your imagination.

And I'd say alot of the CG is fine in LOTR and the like. It's not the cheap stuff. I'm trying to think of what movie it was where it was soooo fake I just replaced the picture with what I thought it was supposed to look like

I'm sorry you have nooooo taste or judgement in movies. No offense. You seem so against CG that you think if there's any in it the movie is bad. What's wrong with it?

Because it looks like sh¡t, and the real thing is is a million times better. It makes it so fake. Like in the first movie, when Legolas jumps off the troll, it looks so fake an CG, and they could have easily done it with a stunt double or just done something else. When he's attacking the elephant in the 3rd movie, it also looks very fake, and they could have found a way to do it with a real person. There are a ton of awesome things he could have done that wouldn't have required CGI.

Also, in the matrix movies, the scenes in which neo's body was blatantly CG were fake. I like it better when Trinity and Neo can bust a moove, and it's actually them doing it. Sure, Trinity's Crane Kick thing uses CG to go to a different angle, but it's still her body doing the moves. Neo rendered in complete CG when he was fighting all the smiths, some of that did not need to be CG.

I appreciated the acting behind the Gollum character of the movies more than the appearance. You can call what he looked like a success all you want but Gollum was great because of Andy Serkis. The opening scene of "The Return of The King" was a worthwhile incorporation both for Gollum fans and Andy Serkis fans(both of which, I am).

I'm sorry you have nooooo taste or judgement in movies. No offense. You seem so against CG that you think if there's any in it the movie is bad. What's wrong with it? Gollum was alot more real looking than if Andy Serkis had been seen instead. You've got to give CG credit for that.

VERY good point. You have to appreciate that the X-Men movies use WAY less computer animation than the Spiderman movie (which was lame since it ended in Spiderman in a heroic pose with THE AMERICAN FLAG WAVING IN THE BACKGROUND, MARKETING PLOY!!!). And X-Men has a really cool concept behind it.

Hell no, did someone just mention comic book movies? Can you say predictability? (god forbid I consider this at all... but x-men should have been named way before spiderman or daredevil)

[QUOTE] The ending...Lawd. It's so sad, and ironic. It made me so upset. [/QUOT

Yes, goooood Amaris. She was talking about The Last Samurai by the way.


K, The Matrix Trilogy was a letdown, the first movie was excellent but the last two had no substance, The Lord of The Rings trilogy had too many cheesy sappy moments and it was apalling at how dumb the sweeping victory of the Army of The Dead was, and how much unnecessary CGI was used in the series. Star Wars is better than either I think, the acting is really good, so are the plots and all the cool little details, Harry Potter shouldn't be anywhere near a list of the best movies of all time.


Here's what should be on the list:

-Gorilla's In The Mist
-Donnie Darko
-The Last Samurai
-The Lion King
-Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon
-The Mission
-Amélie

nope. there are many LOTR freaks in this world and I'm one of them. I'm reading the books again every year lol There's not much tolkien I don't know. I just like it that's all. Can't helpl myself.

You guys seem to forget the 'dare devil' and 'spiderman'...they are great movies.
Forgive me,but l HATE superman..be it cartoons or film series on him.
Always the brawn but no brains.

What kind of dumb **** are you to think that linking a picture is time consuming, you stereotyping little 15 year old bringdown ?

locutus, do you really have that much time on your hands to download a picture onto this site? or is your computer just full to the rim of starwars stuff?

I find your lack of faith disturbing.

Another Matrix fanboy?

The Matrix was okay, but not the best. For some reason, action movies just don't cut above the ones that actually mean something.
