hey all, it's me again. i just read the other comments. anyone who said this movie is unoriginal is out of it.
unoriginal? tolkien was the best author of the century, and you're all right, he's the basis for sci-fi/fantasy. another thing i would like to point out is that this was one of the most original movies of the year. honestly! how many movies were made during world war 2 this year? how many were additions to a previous movie? you hail all of these and forget that tolkien discovered that and developed it first/ the movie is a masterpiece. think about it. all the digital people, all the stunts, all the fake ears and feet, filming on location, all the extras, all the costumes, all the props, this movie has a whole lot more to offer than "the phantom menace", in which the acting was horrible and the plot boring.
