[GreenLantern]

Saw it last night, it was awwwessssooommmeeee.

I understand how people think the action was over the top, but I am watching a fantasy film and do not expect anything to seem even remotely realistic at any point. There is a fricken dragon in the movie and people are worried about shields floating? lol. How do we know that specific shield didn't have magic properties? +10 to heat resistance? Made to withstand dragons breath? etc.. etc..

Wrap your head around the world you are immersing yourself in when you sit down to watch a Tolkien movie, let all that stuff go, and you will find it much, much more enjoyable.

They have pretty much thrown the book out the window, following a somewhat similar path but changing almost every detail, and again I am ok with that. It is BASED on the books, it is not the books reincarnate as a movie. This is Jackson's interpretation of a piece of literature written by Tolkien. Nothing more, nothing less.

Accept these facts my sons and you will enjoy the movies 10 fold.

Also Legolas is bad ass.
