Consona, was the book you read "rise of the Horde" by Christie Golden? Her "Lord of the Clan" is seriously my all time favourite book based off a video game.
I have not read any WC books, thank you for recommendation!
Hearing fanboys talk about the mythical three hour cut that fixes everything is always hilarious
Haha yeah, that's why some Ridley Scott fans annoy me so much. It's like, I don't care if the extended version of Kingdom of Heaven is good. The version I saw in theaters sucked, and it sure as hell didn't make me want to go watch MORE of it. And that's on the director. If you can't figure out how to make an engaging movie with a runtime that doesn't cause audiences' butts to go numb, then you shouldn't be making big-budget, mainstream films.
IMO, I think you see things a little bit easier than they are. Are you a creative person, an artist? Putting things together is not as easy as you suggest. From time to time, I compose music for some small trailers, etc. It may seem to be the easiest thing to do, you have some flowing pictures before you and you just push some keys on the keyboard, right? Man, sometimes the trailer is cutted is so weird way that no matter what you do, things do not sit together well. Now, when I've tried, I'm much more respectful to all those directors, composers, editors, screenwriters, etc. because I know how even the little things and details can change the whole product, the feeling of the whole product, etc. Sometimes you just need more time to tell the story in much better way. Sometimes not! Surprise, surprise, every piece of art is unique, presents another difficulties, you can write stories for your whole life yet find yourself at a dead end with your newest novel, because you put together some different ideas every time you write something, etc. There's no recipe. And sometimes you need another 30 minutes and some more days is a cutting room...
Maybe you are right, maybe veteran big-budget directors should know how to do it without needs of extended cuts, I'm just trying to bring another perspective into the discussion.
I've seen absolutely nothing to indicate anything like that. Jones looks really happy with the film.
Yea, me neither.
Also, as a LotR, I never found any of the extended editions to be "better", even as I love them. I would even say the FotR extended edition is clearly worse then the pretty much perfect theatrical version.
And you should totally watch the Daredevil Director's Cut. Just so you have another excuse to re-watch the Netflix series, and thank Marvel for fixing that crap.
It's all "IMO" territory. One of my internet friends said "theatrical Two Towers is the the worst film of the trilogy, extended Two Towers is the best one"...
Loved seeing Stormwind, Dark Portal, the Orc clans, snippets of new shots.
