Oops I completely forgot to change the poll, so here are the late results of our last one where we asked if you liked the Return of the King movie.
<br>On the liking side there were 88.4%, and on the not liking side there were 7%.
<br>The results are clear, you liked the movie. So to balance things a bit I quote one of the comments here:<blockquote><em>Part of the movie was awesome. The battles were fantastic, but the movie was way too long and too much was cramed into it. It really needed 2 movies to finish this off. I got sick of the struggle of frodo and sam. I found myself yelling, just run up the freaking mountain and throw the ring in it already will you. I was ready for frodo and sam to kiss each other at any minute.
<br>The end was not good. It seemed terrible rushed, as if it had to be to be cramed into the movie. Overall this was, to me, the worst of the 3 movies. I so wanted it to be great but alas, its just too much in the book to make into 3 movies.</em></blockquote>
<br>So we move on to the next poll. What type of class do you want to play in an RPG? |

You don't seriously consider that quote a balanced quote reflecting your poll do you?When 8 and a half people questioned vote that it was a good movie and 1 and a half say it isen't then the quote should contain 8 and a half parts good and 1 and a half parts not good.This quote is a guy moaning that it was too long and the ending sucked and he/she was sick of Frodo and Sam.I think,according to your poll,that this quote is a bad reflection of said poll. |

So what is your point then? I gave a voice to the 7% instead of the 88%. I thought that was rather clear. If you are saying that those in the minority should not have a voice then so be it.

I think the point of the quote was to show a less common opinion on the movie. I mean, if 88% of us loved it then it stands to reason that 88% of us already know what we liked, but we my not have a clear idea of why the other 7% didn't like it.
Reporting what most of the readers already know would have been a waste of space.
I for one loved the movie, and I was glad to hear a decenting opinion. I don't agree, but it gave me a chance to see why someone else might have not liked it. As to the points made against the movie. Comparing it to the book is the primary reason I did not re-read the trilogy (after reading it a decade ago). And believe me it was hard. But now I have the chance to go back and really enjoy the trilogy for itself and I enjoyed seeing the movie without having judged it as harshly as I would have if the book was fresh in my mind.
Best of both worlds.  |

excellent quote
Summed it up perfectly. Worst of three great movies. Rushed. Less on content than the other two.
I can hear Jackson now. "For this next scene we'll do a close up on (pick your hobbit) crying." |

@methusala
I for one really liked the movie but I completely undersign that quote.
I watched it two times but the second time I left the theatre directly after the ring was destroyed because I just couldn't stand all this crying for a second time.
So to me the qoute seems perfectly balanced  |

Yes, i aggree with the minority, and i think methusala is more upset that it was not a good report of the movie than it not being a good reflection of the pole.
Hmm, what does he mean by this, isnt that what a pole is about. people sharing different opinions, how can one quote sum up a pole at all?
