So because the film was 3.5 hours long it deserves Best Picture?
|
I said that ? Friad not chief. But you as though it had no dialougue because it was mostly action. Thats simply not true. The action sequences didnt dominate the movie. It was 3.5 hours long....you really think there was 2 plus hours of action in this movie ?. It had just as much dialouge as your average full liegth feature film

but character and dialogue-wise it was simply not engaging. Any time a character opened their mouth I was wishing for the next action scene to hurry up (and this is coming from someone who loved the dialogue-heavy Reservoir Dogs).

Your entitled to your opinion..just know that its not a very poular one. OBVIOUSLY the acedemy doesent agree. And I know tons of people whove seen it and not ONE thought the dialouge was bland. I have never heard or seen a review from any critics that thought that either. I personally felt that the dialouge was excellent. What more could you ask. It was well written and well acted.

It was hard to fully attach and support the main characters

You found it hard to support the main characters ?. The characters in LOTR are some of the strongest stand alone characters ive EVER seen. The whole movie rotates around the trials and tribulations of its characters. I found myself caring deeply for the welfare of the characters and found myself especially inthrawled in the relationship between sam and frodo. Those so called "Whining Gimps" as you called them

Legolas was particularly hard to comprehend with his breathy... stuttered... one.... word... per... minute... speech....

You sure you actually saw the movie ? I saw Return of the king 3 times and I dont remember legolas speaking in such a manner.

forge a bond between the on-screen characters and the viewer and basically entertain the view - for me, it fails horribly
|
If any movie in history has achived this its Return of the king. Im sorry...I just dont see your point here
