I personally really like Lord of the Rings. It is full of action and a decent plot, even if it's stereotypical. The wars emit a sense of despair at first when the orcs seem to be winning, but when reinforcements come, typically major characters, we get extremely excited to see them. Every battle shows us something new and sometimes disturbing. Every character has his or her own unique personality. Furthermore, it is a fantasy! These are really appealing to me! I personally wouldn't change anything because I can't really think of anything to change, though there would be a few things that could make it better. As stated before, it follows a good storyline and has an ample amount of action to be exciting. Furthermore, there is a good amount of character development as seen in people such as Sam and Frodo (even if Frodo is still a big weakling). It might have been better for there to be just one hero journey rather than two, though, since I tend to compare the characters and choose one over another, which I really don't want to do. Frodo's character should probably be changed too, but I don't think there is much to do with him. Overall, LOTR is super cool.

I personally love Lord of the Rings thus far. It is probably one of the best trilogies out there, if there are any more trilogies out there. I think that the biggest reason I really like the movie is because everyone seems to fit their character very well and that's what I like in action/adventure movies. I definitely would not change any aspect of the movie whatsoever. I think that Peter Jackson did a fantastic job in creating the world of the Lord of the Rings on the big screen.

I thought that Lord of the Rings was really good! Almost every scene in the movie makes you want to see what happens next. I would not change anything about this movie because then it wouldn't be what it is today, and what it is today is awesome.
I think that my favorite character is Eowyn especially during her fight scene against the Witch King, this scene was so epic that when you paused it everyone yelled at you to keep playing. I thought this scene was so cool I showed it to my sister when i got home! I am very glad that this movie was introduced to me or I probably would have never watched it or read it.

I thought that Lord of the Rings was amazing. This is my first time watching it and I love them so much, especially because there are some cute guys. Every war/battle they face is so breath taking that you want more everytime. I didn't know there were books for the movie. I wouldn't change anything in the movie for the reason that it would probably ruin it. Who ever hasn't watched this movies I would definetly recommend it.

In my perspective, Lord of the Rings is indescribable. It just like wow. I mean some things you can predict but other things happen when you least expected. I personally love the movie so far. It makes mad at points, laugh, and think. This is makes the movie perfect and want viewers want to keep watching. I wouldn't change the movie not one bit because that would change so many things and ruin some part of it.

What is your opinion of Lord of the Rings so far? Why? Would you change anything about it? Why or why not?

In my opinion, Lord of the Rings is a really good movie, and I'm sure that the books are even better. I really like Lord of the Rings because you never know what is going to happen next. The characters are also very unique. The only thing that I don't like is that whenever a person plummets to their death, they're not actually dead, it gets too predictable. I wouldn't really change anything about the movie though, because I'm sure it's intended to stay true to the book, and even if there wasn't a book it was based on, I probably still wouldn't change it because it's already such a good movie. Why fix it if it isn't broken?

So far im starting to like lord of the rings. In the beginning, I was unsure about the movie because I thought it was for dorks, But the more I made myself pay attention and stay awake I started to like it. I didnt know there was multiple parts to the movie. I like the second half more because I can understand. I wouldnt change anything about the movies exept for the first half to be more interesting. In the end the movie is farly good and I want to keep watching.

In my opinion, I think that The Lord of the Rings is an amazing piece, both the novels (even though I haven't read them yet), but also the film. I personally am enjoying the films so far, so I would assume the books are even better. I don't think I could change anything about the film so far, because if you have something that isn't broken, then what is there to be fixed? Its plot is genuinely good and it brought me into the film, actually wanting me to be a part of it. Not all films or books really impact me in a way that helps me escape the real world and enter the world of whatever I'm reading or watching, but Lord of the Rings did.

I honestly hate the movie! I am scared of it. I am easily scared. The characters are scary looking and everything. I do not think we should watch it. Lol. I would change everything about the movie due to the fact that it really does scare me. I have to pull out my inhaler every ti,e the movie starts. I have bad anxiety and that is really the only reason why I don't like the movie. I don't mean to complain, however the movie really does scare me.

Well to tell the truth I LOVE IT. I really didn't like it at first because I thought it would suck, but as the movie kept going it drew me in (It was almost like I fell in love). I really like it because it's so creative and the way the scenes were made are really nice. I would not change anything about it because the characters are perfect with the roles they play. I never thought I'd say this but I love Lord of the rings, Thanks Mrs.Willingham!

OMG I LOVE LOTR! This movie was amazing, I love the battles especially. I really wish there's more to watch so we can basically spend all our time on this, it's more fun than doing work. I really don't like how we have to do journals on this though, it just ruins it for me because to me writing about something I just watched is really boring.

I really like the movies, like most people I never saw them because most of us didn't know what is was about. I really like it because I have was like movies like that with over races and wars between them. I would change any thing because I like how it is.

Honestly at first I thought the movie would be all lame and weird. After actually watching it and paying attention, its actually interesting. Lord of The Rings makes you say wow! For instance, when the war scenes come on I be so into it. It’s just amazing movie that keep your eyes wide open, waiting for something else dramatic to happen. From watching this LOTR I’m interested in watching the other ones. I wouldn’t change a thing.Ki

I really like this movie so far. It is really interesting and Ilike how you have to keep wat hing it to see what is going to happen next. To me I think that it's a good movie already but I don't like how the good people die. I think that all the good people should live and all the bad people should die. :) I love the suspension in the movie and how it makes you want to keep watching more. :) This is a really good movie, and even though there are some parts that I don't like, all movies have that, I still haven't watched one of those perfect movies yet.

The movie is still as great as when i first watched it. The acting is just completely amazing, and now that I am older watching these movies I understand what is happening to each of the characters. Sadly i do not like how easily Frodo lets the ring take over him. I understand that the ring is eviland is trying to control him but it shouldn;t be able to completely control or stop him from moving like it did. Over all it is a great movie.
