The Two Towers is the very last film i saw at the cinema. Not sure what that says actually.

The only reason i will watch The Hobbit is to see Sylvester McCoy. I'll wait until Zoverstocks are selling it for a penny first.

I watched Return of the King last week for the first time, it's only taken me 10 years to see all three films! You're right though, the end did drag on a tad too much, which is why I prefer the Two Towers, especially for the Helm's Deep battle

I want to see Pacific Rim like i want to go to the dentist though.

Nearly spat my Tuborg out reading that.
It's a great film, but I highly doubt I'd have seen it in the cinema if my boy hadn't have wanted to see it

I don't mind going to the dentist!

I did go to the dentist last week but it was more Armageddon than Pacific Rim. Groan...

Not seen Pacific Rim but totally agree. Nothing better than seeing a film on the big screen with a crowd of like-minded folk.

Particularly if the screen is big, the sound is loud and the lights are down.

And the mobiles are ringing, and the kids are talking and texting.....

Somewhere i'm not plagued by a crowd of like-minded folk.

That happens a lot less than is depicted in TV shows and films (God Bless America, for example).
