One ring to rule them all. One ring to find them, One ring to bring them all; and in the darkness bind them.
Nice little sentence that, but yet that little sentence is a phrase that will be forever remembered in our lives. Being a verse written in the tongue of Mordor, ahem...or at least, to make it simpler- part of a book, that went down as the greatest of the 20th Century. Being the ëforeverí memorable- Lord of the Rings.
The popularity of the characters and setting from the book, never in itís years dwindled.
The amount of detail that existed inside those magical pages, contained enough detail to actually take you to the books setting- ëMiddle Earthí.
Yes, reading the thing can actually ëTakeí you there. Plants, animals, clouds and even sense of smell are so fabulously described.
Details about certain characterís are explained in thorough detail. Histories and lore about the peopleís of Middle Earth go back into centuries.
Pain, emotion, love and hate are intertwined within the actual setting, pace and plot.
And so the inevitable materialised. Yes A film.
It wasnít surprising seeing details emerge of the big screen version. The book(s) were a cult classic. And they contained enough information and detail to bring the world of J.R.R Tolkien to life.
Peter Jackson the Director ot the ëLord of the Ringísí trilogy promises to be as faithful as possible to the Books. New Line Cinema has pumped Millions of Pounds into to the actual production, let alone the publicity and advertising.
So why should people take heed of it and actually be bothered to get off their backsides to see it come this December 19th?. Actually from what screening and pre-publicity shots are to go by Peter Jackson and co are onto a winner.
The Hobbits which appear in the books to be ëLittleí people are computer manipulated in size to be cast on screen.
The effects and affects of that particular computer graphics wizardry, is unbelievable to look at, seeing an actor 5í5î in real life being shrunk and appearing next to normal ëun-manipulatedí actors is amazing and a wonderful achievement.
Thatís not to mention the special effects in general throughout the film.
In the film you will witness thousands of marauding Goblinís and Orcís on screen at once marching to war, seeing that is beyond words to describe, itís that good.
So far from what Iíve seen of the detail of locations and characters is online to what I always imagined them to be. Now that is spectactular to say the least. And is further testament to J.R.R Tolkiens visionary input into his writing- giving the reader his impressions and vision, Peter Jackson has brought it over to the screen well staying faithful as possible to that vision .
And so the forever December 19th looms. I have a feeling that these 3 films will be the greatest ever to be released. Yes, greater than Star Wars. And this is just pre-release thoughts. And more than likely thoughts of millions the world over.
Thanks for reading.

ever heard that offspring song from crazy taxi??? cant remember the song title so kinda pointless really but it did have a point!!, i just lost it??
My dad saw the animated version when it was at the cinema. He's the one who taught me to love LotR :-) Go him. At least he has a good taste in books
*cringes at dads fashion sense*

Yes, that's what Im on about!!
The Animated FoTR version released in cinema's 1979.
As Iv'e said, It is available on DVD In the US, but no one's mentioned a a Euro release. It's bound to happen.

I was hoping that with the new movie, they were going to show lotr: the fellowship cartoon movie again havent seen that in years tried to buy it once and the only one I could find was a pirated copy for £30, I guess they could even re-release it on vhs and dvd, that would be so major league sweet!!
Goodkind........no Tolkien that's for sure.
Going slightly off the topic, Something I just remembered. Ralph Bakshi's Lord of the Rings(Animated version) was released in America, but no sign of a Euro release though.
Anybody any knowledge of this?

Glad to hear it YH.
Stryke, that's fair enough, I wasn't trying to enforce my views on you, just to get my point across.
I agree that LotR is a fantastic series, but in my own personal opinion, Goodkind is better. If you don't agree, fair enough, I don't have a problem with that.

Your Honour - I'm not saying other fantasy series aren't good, all I'm saying is that my favourite series is LotR. Other series, such as Goodkind, may be other people's favourites. That's fine. I don't try and press my book views on other people. Just films ;-) WATCH DOGMA!
They don't even have to come up with a clever name for the porn version, just leave it as it is.
I'm sure they could even use those lines:
One ring to rule them all. One ring to find them, One ring to bring them all; and
in the darkness bind them.
That bit about binding them sounds good....

Tolkien is the daddy of fantasy, im half way though the 3rd book of lotr and I love it and cant wait for the movie?
