Since "people are complaining about them", will ROTK be a dud at the boxoffice next Christmas? I swear, some of you people live in a self-delusional fantasyland. You have to share a retelling of LOTR with the rest of the world now. So what? Get over it.

Sorry - but the are losing steam. Not many people have countdown to the release of TT like they did for FotR in their sigs (actually I don't see any). People did NOT go to see TT as many times as they went back to see FotR and if Jackson screws with RotK - even more people will be pissed.

The movies are action movies and with each movie - more and more fans come around to criticising jackson. I also said that wait 10 years, 50 years and see if they're on the best movies ever made list - like Tolkien has been named for books.

What IS VERY FUNNY is that you're really the only one defending the movies. Last year I was the only one complaining about them and eveyrone was against me. I say that's a sign that they are losing steam and won't surpass Tolkien.
