Apocalypse Now and FOTR !!

Rating: 1/10 (8 July 2008)

I don't know how you can speak of Apocalypse Now and Fellowship of the Ring in the same breath! Fellowship of the Ring is just a CGI extravaganza, strictly for kids into plodding, slow plots and unpronounceable weird names. iv'e always thought JRR Tolkien was ill suited to being filmed and doesn't really translate well,(i know i can hear you all scoffing!!) and i suppose the latest PJ trilogy is about the best you'll get, visually anyhow. I suppose people take different things from films and interpret them in their own way, but i think Apocalypse Now and Fellowship of the Ring make odd bedfellows!!Apocalypse Now is probably one of the best war films made and is a true classic.
