Right, getting a little closer to the original topic (that not being about whether or not RotK should win anything). I must say I didn't read much more than the first two paragraphs of the first article as it seemed sickeningly enthusiastic.<P>The secon article, however, had a few points which I found quite amusing:<BR> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> I woke up briefly when Liv Tyler appeared in one scene. Amid all the dark, dingy sliminess, her beauty seemed to have been beamed down from cinema heaven. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><BR>I find it sad that he was there to stare a Liv Tyler. If he can't watch a film where there aren't any women, what is he doing reviewing films?<BR> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> Ultimately, the series fails because you never root for one side against another <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><BR>I must say that he is very much speaking for himself. Even before I read the books I was very taken with the hobbits.<P>Perhaps if he just watched the movie without comparing it to anything *coughstarwarscough* that he seems to really love and actually getting into the story he might actually be a decent critic. Anyone who can't tell who were the evil guys in the battle of Helm's Deep is either deeply stupid, needs new glasses or was watching a different movie altogether.
