what do you guys think of this whole halo movie ordeal?

LOTR sucked. King Kong's gonna suck. This is gonna suck.

Get over it.

Why did they suck, Baronen?

[bignds]

YES SOMEONE WHO DISLIKES LOTR
That is the most over rated film series of all time, people try comparing it with The Godfather and Star Wars. LOTR sucks plain as, the story was bad, the actors were terrible and the whole plot lacked. King Kong looks good though, its got Jack Black in it dammit! No but seriously im looking forward to it in general.
People will go to watch anything with the "Peter Jackson" name tag on it and even though LOTR was terrible he took the ball and ran with it, and some idiots actually went to see it, so i dont see no difference with this.

YES, YES, YES. I'm glad I'm not the only one who found LOTR to be overrated. Seriously, apart from not being quite lacking and having bad actors (as you stated), it's also just mind-numblingy boring. I'm hoping King Kong will be good, and I have nothing against Jack Black in person, but I'm just not sure he's the right actor for the role he's gonna play.

I don't know about a Halo movie. Really now, movie?

Let's just hope this movie doesn't flop as badly as Halo 2's story did. No doubt that it'll flop for the critics, but all the kids will think it's "coolsville" to watch a Halo movie.

What a load of crap.

**LOTR = OVERRATED TO HELL AND BACK**

Fun fact: Lort is norwegian for "crap", albeit a bit more friendly. Almost feces, but not as ... Idunno.

Hehe. Typos are fun and educational. :)

I can agree that LOTR sucked, however what was accomplished was nothing short of a miracle in a day and age in hollywood where 70's TV shows being turned into movies is the mainstay.

Moviegoers are sick and tired of being rehashed the same crap year after year from these garbage directors. Not that Steven Spielberg or George Lucas are any different, they AT LEAST disguise what we as people already know, and intertwine that into a storyline that we're familiar with, and can all relate to on a personal level because of that established knowledge.

Peter Jackson filled a void where one needed to be filled and sasiated. His movies might not be the best, but because of it's timing, it might as well be hailed as one, and so it has.

Lastly, another thing to remember is that there has been a severe lull between fantasy based movies, especially using cutting edge ILM CGI. That said, there are scores upon scores of people who are either familiar with the LOTR book, or animated episodes, and in either case, a fully realized incarnation using today's technology is a visual feast for the eyes that up until then was only ever seen with your mind.

I'm not feeling King Kong, I just dont like Jack Black when he's not with KG, he's a real prick when he's himself.
