I hate when they do this, I find myself holding the remote and adjusting the volume while watching a lot of movies these days.

No problem slick. Some people don't like the slow burn. Other people don't like movies where they have to think. I'll never understand why they rate bad movies good and good movies average. But I'm glad that your mom and her people loved it
The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring: Extended Edition
2001
8.5/10
If you are unaware, Warner Bros. has a new LOTR film scheduled to debut in theaters December 2024.
So, me and my sons decided to watch the first 3 films. When the first film came out, neither one of them were born. I last saw it when it was originally released in theaters back in 2001. They haven’t seen any of the LOTR films.
Last night we watched it on MAX. They have the extended edition…..and that mofo is EXTENDED!!!. It took us 4 hours to get thru that mofo. We actually took a 20 minute intermission break around the 3 hr mark.
The film introduces the primary characters and introduces the main plot. Being it is a long film, lots of character development is done.
Action and suspense holds up today. Some of the VFX/SFX looks dated, but still holds up to content coming out today. Cinematography on locations does a good job showing how massive the World they live in is.
Being I haven’t seen the film since 2001, I’m clueless on what new footage they added. Watching it was like watching it for the first time cuz it’s been so long.
Even with the extended length, there isn’t any parts that felt like filler scenes, no scenes slowed the film down and it held a good pace from start to finish.
We gonna attempt to knock out the 2nd one tonight. MAX has the first 3 films as Extended Editions all running about 4 hours.
Synopsis
The future of civilization rests in the fate of the One Ring, which has been lost for centuries. Powerful forces are unrelenting in their search for it. But fate has placed it in the hands of a young Hobbit named Frodo Baggins (Elijah Wood), who inherits the Ring and steps into legend. A daunting task lies ahead for Frodo when he becomes the Ringbearer - to destroy the One Ring in the fires of Mount Doom where it was forged.
Saw Knox a few days ago..... pretty damn good.Knox Goes Away
Slickly Surprising
PRAISE: There is something so entertaining and appealing about movies with plots about old school hitman,thieves and gangsters. That one last job right before or at the start of them losing their touch. Knox Goes Away is all of that and then some. Nicely directed by and Starring Michael Keaton who turns in a moving performance. Great turns from a who's who in Hollywood cast including James Marsden, Suzy Nakamura, Joanna Kulig, Ray McKinnon, John Hoogenakker, Lela Loren, Marcia Gay Harden, and Al Pacino
As jazzy tunes play in the background the film plays out in a way that is calming but with explosions of violence. It's written in a way that I immediately cared for Knox and what he was going through. The loose ends and regrets in life are written all over his face and when presented with a couple of tricky situations he's sees it as a way to get some type of revenge for betrayal and to make things right which plays out in an interesting and involving way.
PROBLEMS: There are a couple of predictable turns. There is a really big unintentionally funny moment...but then again maybe it's a good thing.
Scale of 1 to 10 an 8
Monkey Man
Manic Monkey
PRAISE: This story about loss,revenge and enlightenment works for the most part due to some great performances and well choreographed fight scenes. The story is about Kid who attempts to make money in a fight club but determined to infiltrate a sinister group to avenge his mother's death. Dev Patel turns in an unflinching performance as well as writing, producing, and Directing the film. His script provides a little bit of everything as Kid plots his revenge but also finds himself face to face with colorful characters portrayed by Sharlto Copley, Pitobash, Vipin Sharma,Sobhita Dhulipala and Ashwini Kalsekar. There's nothing quite like the salty dialogue in the film when its said with an Indian tongue. There's some very intense fighting and I can see why Patel broke some bones while filming and being a part of these sequences. I appreciated the unique kills in the movie.
PROBLEMS: The political sections of the story felt jumbled to me.While I appreciated and understood the placement of the Ayahuasca and getting in touch with your spiritual side,training moments in the movie but this is also when the movie starts to stall and the script feels a bit to drawn out.
