don't forget Ludicrous speed !

Most innaccurate (that I care about):

The LOTR movies. Why? Let me list the ways;

cutting out 1/3 of the first book,
screwing up the real reforging of the sword,
screwing up the reason for a blizzard on Cardahras (sp?).

trying to add suspense by having aragorn ride off a cliff,
screwing up the Gandalf and Theoden scene,
screwing up everything having to do with rohan from the G&T scene until Helm's Deep,
having elves at helm's deep,
the ents (the meeting, attack, and in relation to helm's deep),

The army of the dead,
Frodo, Sam, & gollum on the stairs (I mean, come on!),
not showing the reason for Denethor's madness,
the battle before the black gate,
sam & gollum on mount doom,
etc.

King Arthur was quite disappointing. Some nice ideas, and several inexplicable errors. Why??? ~:confused:
(the teatrical version was horribly cut as well)

"Before sunrise" - the worst pretentious ..fecal matter :furious3:
"The thin red line" could have been OK, visually stunning. The voice-over is the worst load of half-baked dribble I've heard. I think. ~:)

well I've read the books , and was also very surprised about how PJ directed his movies, however I did like the movies, quite a lot actually.
Even though The battle of Pellenor Fields was ruined by the Army of the Dead ~;)

However PJ had to manage to fit the story in 3 2 and a half hour movies.
The books have tons of information that would merely confuse your avarage 12 year old - who just wants to see big battles with lot's of cool sounds and orcs.
As an example ; why was there no Mouth of Sauron , well people who haven't read the book might think it was Sauron himself.
Also the films as they are now are all 3 of them very long movies. Which would have been even longer had PJ tried to put in more information that did appear in the 3 books.
I do really think PJ did a good job on making the movies,

There are a few of the things mentioned and that rabbit mentioned in the extended edition. Althiough The mouth of Sauron is realy stupid in it. He's just a giant mouth ~:confused:

LotR did a good job in the first movie when it came to making a compromise between the books and a decent screenplay. In the second one it was okay except for the bit with Aragorn going missing half-way through, and particuarly screwing up Faramir's character and the pointless siege section (was it at Osgiliath or something?). Part three there were a number of moments I hated, mainly in the final battle such as the charge at the oliphaunts with horses and the unbeatable dead dudes.

I loved Troy for the very fact it was so awful; the acting, effects, screenplay and historical accuracy were laughable. It kept me amused all the way through. Entertaining nonsense.

I'll be watching Alexander tonight. Hope it's decent.

I hope you enjoy it mate but imo it was one of the worst films I've ever seen. I don't want to spoil it for you though so I shall say no more. ~:cheers:

Anyway, one of the worst films ever, imo has got to be the film, "Cabin Fever". Totally stupid film. It was rated as a 4 or 5 star or something and was seen as "the most scariest film of the year", "you won't sleep for weeks". When in reality it was a group of people stuck in a cabin with a disease then every so often a there would be a scene out of the matrix :dizzy2: .

Alexander is quite accurate historically some people think the people talking goes on and on and IMO it does drag on in a bit but it is a good film. Hope you enjoy it

I loved the books and the movies did not follow them as well as I thought, but at the same time the movies were excellent!!! I simply tried to take my mind off the many differences between the books and the movies. I enjoyed both...

The Last Sumari was about as accurate as a blind man throwing darts...
