The thing I liked about the final scene in the rain was the arrival of the opening credits. No, that's not true; it’s a nice scene, but I remember the film had thoroughly ground my gears. In my opinion, Geere probably doesn’t even remember making it, while Kurosawa, after 13 years resting in the ground, turns in his grave every time he hears the name Richard.

I would say that Bartle has more or less said it all: I have nothing against Tolkien, I have nothing against Tolkien fanatics. I'm just saying that I find them a bit funny... Sometimes embarrassing. But they are obviously free to do what they want.

I found them nice but nothing to tear my hair out over. I'll give them another try.

I had a brief and tumultuous relationship with Kurosawa: I went from Rhapsody in August (which I literally hated) to Dreams (which I find a masterpiece). Which of the two does this come closer to?

I’ve seen kick ass in English, so I don’t know what the Italian version is like. For me, it’s a ton of crap.

Giona, sorry, do you really mean the thing about singing in Elvish, or is it a joke?

darkeve: Edgar Wright is a good director, no one doubts that. Then this film, as you said, can either be liked or not, and as I mentioned before, I thought it was terrible: I never smiled, I found the characters to be of negligible depth, and when it came to the confrontation between the dragons (or whatever they were, the two DJs anyway), I started hoping the movie would end soon out of boredom. However, all the pop elements added in post-production were nice. Unfortunately, they were ineffective: if I have to watch a colossal piece of junk, well-produced, glossy, childish, and self-ironic, I would much rather choose Speed Racer. To do this film well (which is virtually impossible given the screenplay), it would have needed at least three times the budget that Wright had at his disposal (I have no idea how much he actually had, but it surely wasn't very little, yet it's evident that John Gaeta could not afford it).
