(2) Although when I was "young and easy under the apple boughs" - that is, in the late 60's, my then lover and I and other friends of ours enjoyed the Lord of the Rings trilogy, odd, since we were pretty much all pacifist-athiestic-lefties. But we poked fun at it,too. that being said, I found the film to be unwatchable... tried a couple of times when it was on TV... In fact, I find most high-techy fantasy type films unwatchable, so I align with Bob W there... too much noise, too much visual puff. I can't abide Cirque de Soleil , either.
