i don't agree [In reply to] Can't Post

2) Only last week one of the guides on the River Dart in Glenorchy said he felt it takes to long to get going but once it does its great which is a frequent observation, for those it breaths to much in the first ninety minutes.


Just because the film finally gets going in casual movie goers minds after 90 minutes, this does not mean that the film has a better flow than the lord of the rings, which has never had those complaints made about it.

Many casual fans feel the start is too slow, critics in general agree. Many fans on here think the start is some of the best stuff and then it suffers from having too infrequent breaks of any real length and is just action scene, action scene, action scene - which is very similar to the episodic nature of the book actually.

That does not create a flowing movie nor does it make a film breath, its the opposite of that.

But obviously one persons flowing movie could be continuous action scenes where as others prefer a more balanced movie with action punctuated with character moments and dialogue something lacking for many parts of the final 2/3 of the film. From talking to friends, many feel the same.

Though i feel this may change once the EE comes out as i think they will have omitted dialogue for spectacle even when its not really needed.


On the different topic of Dain i agree.
