I didn't say LOTR was bad. I said it wasn't as good as the fan boys said it was. POTC was based on a park ride, so the fact that is was decent heck sometimes good movie series is a miracle. Which makes LOTR look that much more over rated do to the fact LOTR was based on a master piece of literature, yet wasn't any better put together than pirates.
Deffiantly wasn't Oscar worthy IMO.
Definitely agree with you.
"Return of the King" was the most undeserving Best Picture since "The Sound of Music". As brutal as the film was, "Mystic River" should have won. Of the nominees, I liked "Seabiscuit" better, but "Mystic River" was outstanding and the better film.
Oh that reminds me, "Lost in Translation" is the most BORING movie I have ever tried to watch. Bleah!
