any other films like Lord of the Rings etc
 

Are there any other films in the same sort of vein as Lord of the Rings etc

ones that are decent and worth watching that is :)

Chronicles or Narnia? I've not seen the recent film, but the animated film was great when I was a kid!

Gets 7.3 on IMDB so cant be bad!

Yeah Ive seen that (and the animated one :) ) read all the books too

Lord of the g strings, fellowship of the string:) failing that 300 is vaguely similar:thumb:

Looks interesting!

The one on the left! :luvlove:

Wouldn't mind being lord of their rings:norty: but seriously Sonic is looking for a film in the vein of the original. not some rather fit lezzers knocking off with each other.

Lord Of The Ring movies?

Try the Transporter 1 & 2 :D

There's never been much in the way of fantasy movies that are worth speaking of until LOTR was filmed so brilliantly by PJ. 'Willow' and 'Legend' spring to mind, but neither are a patch on Middle Earth's finest. 'Dungeons and Dragons' and 'Eragorn' are more recent, and I believe someone is working on Terry Pratchett's 'Discworld' stories now.

"krull" was one of my favourite films,when i was about twelve.

I liked it too at that age. Looks pish now though. :lol1:

What about any of the old Schwarzenegger movies - they're all "fantasy". :D

Oh yeah, the Conan films. Dross :D


Another one :idea: Clash of the Titans.

:lol1: ;)

Cheers I think :D

I didnt think there had been much in the way of that genre of films until LOTR trilogy came out

I have seen Dungeons & Dragons, not seen Eragon yet, but it doesn't get too good a write up

Conan LOL, I used to enjoy them as a kid, but now :nono:

Would be good if they ever do The Hobbit, I do have a few Terry Pratchett books, but still never got round to reading them

Supposedly, MGM have secured Sam (Evil Dead) Raimi to direct it, scheduled for a 2009 release.

I did hear that the other day about Sam Raimi directing, that will also mean Bruce Campbell will have a part in it too :)

I am surprised An*lLover didn't mention Ronin as that has an Audi in it!

I guess you are looking for fantastical myths and legends. I think LOTR is unique in bring the genre right up to date and making it relevant to a contemporary audience.

Star Wars (LOTR in space!).

King Arthur (LOTR with a stone)

Troy (joking)

I believe they are making a film (or films) of Philip Pullman's "His Dark Material" trilogy.

If they get it right that should be up there with LOTR. :)

I think it is due for release this summer.

Mark Kermode never stops praising Pan's Labyrinth

Eragon is not a bad film, but if you have read the book, you will discover that they did not exactly follow it.

There's a movie coming out at some point based on the 'World of Warcraft' game, which if you've seen it is very LoTR in style, orcs, wizards, dwarves, gnomes, elves etc.

Blizzard Entertainment - Press Release

300 is pretty good, and I know its a kids film but I quite liked Bridge to Terabithia when I took the little 'un to see it. Kingdom of Heaven is ok too. Pan's Labyrinthe definitely.

Watched Kingdom of Heaven last night, not a bad film, almost reminded me of helms deep when they all arrived at Jerusalem to take the city back

Ive got 300, not had chance to watch it yet, it has had mixed reviews, ive heard about Pans Labyrinth, so I will keep a look out for that one

Also will keep my eye on the Warcraft and Philip Pullman ones too :thumb:

It must be the Directors Cut of this film. Much more involvement in the subplots and character development, although not for the weak minded at just under 4 hours :eek:

Was disappointed by 300, but will be getting Pans Labyrinth following many recommendations.

I did watch the Directors cut of KoH, but it was only 3 hours, or just over 3 hours, skip the two 10 minute music pieces and the intermission bit ;)

Even at that length the film was well paced, so no boredom introduced, and Orlando Bloom was a bit more convincing in that than he was in Troy :D

Eragon is OK, but who on earth called the dragon (Vauxhall) Saphira :lol1:

Excuse me? Kingdom of Heaven had 3 tedious hours of the usual hollywood predictable drivel. A poorman's Troy.

300 was a refreshing masterpiece in comparison. Reminded me of Slaine in 2000 A.D. with awesome battle scenes and a dark storyline. This is Spartaa!!!!

You would have to read the 600 page book to understand the name choice!!.

No thanks not into the D&G geekery, I just used wikipedia instead :thumb:
