Customer Reviews of The Lord of the Rings
The movies were so much better! I'm a huge Harry Potter fan, so I figured I'd enjoy Lord of the Rings. I love the HP movies, but the books are far better. With Lord of the Rings, I decided to watch the movies first, so I could better visualize the characters and scenery when I read the books. I thought all three movies were great, especially Return of the King. I was really looking forward to reading the books, thinking - like Harry Potter - they would be even better. WRONG! I know there are a lot of die-hard LOTR fans out there that will disagree with me; but, personally, I think the best word to describe these books is TEDIOUS. I'm only halfway through the first one and I'm not sure I'll get through all three. Whoever adapted the books for the screenplay really, really knew what they were doing.
A TRAGIC EXAMPLE OF OUR PRESENT CULTURE
A KID'S REVIEW? The movies were great when they followed the books. When they didn't the movies became a promotional vehicle for selling video games. The detail that the "kid" doesn't like is exactly why these books seem so much like a real story. This is not a story to race through, but it is a journey to take. I have taken it several times in my life and it always seems to end too soon. Maybe IF the "kid" grows up he, or she, will be able to appreciate great literature when he, or she, reads it. By the way, "excitement" has a "c" in it.

<
>If you read more about Tolkien's mythology, you wouldn't have said some of the things you said in your review. The Haven is merely a port. The destination was the Undying Lands, which is where the Elves, and Gandalf, were originally from.

<
>Second; Aragorn and the rangers were remnants of the men from Numenor. If you read the history of Numenor, you will see they had their problems, as well. While you could draw comparisons to the "Aryan" myth, you will find no crap about killing non-Numenoreans, so don't go there.

<
>You went from 2 to 4. Where is your third point?
<

<
>Four: Gandalf fought the Balrog and chased him out of Moria from another exit. It's in the books.
<
>
<
>Five: Quit trying to politicize this story. Orcs were created by Sauron, who captured Elves, then altered them to create the first orcs. They bred after that. Your comment about creating them from mud betrays the fact that you have ONLY seen the movies and have NOT read the books.

<
>You have two points labeled FIVE. Were you drinking when you wrote this? Your second "FIVE" is riduculous. There is plenty of character development if you would read the books. Maybe you need a reading comprehension course.

First of all, I'm not under 13, only I haven't registered yet.

>So: You are just a little child, don't expect you have got such intelligence to understand a book. Nah, joke, but anyway. People love Tolkien's style, and for some reason many people could understand the book's story. Maybe you are not so gifted in reading, or just you wasn't trached well in understanding texts, but don't take it to Tolkien's fault, please. It is not his fault that you can't read his book.
