LotR was pieces of shit?
Yes.

No it wasn't. Legend was a piece of shit.

LotT is the best Fantasy movie to date. Awesome visually and not too dumbed-down. And I think everyone realizes, that you cannot be 100% true to a book of such magnitude.

Plus that is the only fantasy movie with well thought-out weapon and armor concepts.

To call it the 'best Fantasy movie to date' is beyond ridiculous. They're neat movies, that are visually nice and are based on a classic fantasy epic that was never meant to be a movie.

That's really all they have going for them. They're overly long and slow, have a pretty inconsistent tone (going from serious, life-threatening scariness to "battles are fun yay"), and follow the rule of cool instead of the rule of good filmmaking.

Also, the third movie ended about an hour late.

I mean 'high fantasy' and you know it. I wasn't ready to admit it, until I realized it was so. If you think I'm wrong, prove it.

Willow is a bad Tolkien ripoff, Dragonheart is cheesy and Connan and Red Sonya are just silly (despite them being awesome on a different level). As I said - High Fantasy, and non animated. Just name one better made.

Ehm, I do now. Unlike your high opinion of my apparent mind-reading abilities, I actually have none.

I'd call Conan better than the LotR movies, actually.

Also, The Dark Crystal is better, The Neverending Story is better, The Princess Bride is better.

You can argue about whether or not any of those fit the seemingly ill-defined 'high fantasy'criterium, though.
 
Wasn't there already a World of Warcraft movie? Whorecraft anyone? :>
 
Well they were certainly more atmospheric, although the Conan film is a travesty compared to the original books and comics.
