re: How can anyone not like the LOTR trilogy?

This along with so many people actually having ADD/ADHD. Amazing how many people need dialogue or action to not get bored like children. I've heard a decent amount of guys say that it's 9 hours of walking.
On the other hand my wife made a comment when we first got together that she had only watched each movie once when they first came out and thought the fight scenes drug on. So there's the other side of the spectrum but she's the only one I've heard say that.
Since then we've had one watch through about 2 months ago but we only watched half of a movie per sitting. This did change her opinion a little.

They're just trying to sound cool by parroting Kevin Smith/Clerks 2.
LotR is the best trilogy of all time IMO. And I wasn't even a huge "fantasy" fan back then either, had never read the books or really knew anything about the story. They were just that good for me. I remember when the third one came out my two cousins and I went to Tinseltown in BR and they were showing the first two extended cut movies, then new-releasing the last one. So we were in there all damn day, but it was fricking awesome.
To this day my favorite trilogy and I watch it all the time when it's on TV. They are very good "have on in the background" movies for me.

What a lame criticism.

And 9 hours isn’t long enough IMO. Even with the extended editions, tons and tons of stuff from the books were left out. Each movie should’ve been 15 hours long.
