I think LoTR was pretty fucking epic.

lol!
If you listen to the audio commentary for LOTR (so far i've listened to every commentry on every movie at least twice while playing around with my lego) it becomes, in my opinion, even more epic. All the stuff that they did to make everything seem amazing (admit it, bar any greviences with acting or music, i doubt there is anyone who didn't believe 100% they were in middle earth) and the cock ups when they didn't make me pay attention even more.
All i can say is holy fuck theres alot of detail in there. Thats one of my prerequisites of an epic. Any schmoe can and will make a movie, some may make a good one from time to time, but hardly any will have the detail to make the watcher truely believe they were in the story.
Todays movies are being watered down to meet the demands (or lack thereof) eminating from the idiot brigade.
Most movies arn't vastly humungous enough anymore either, lets see some proper conquoring, none of this namby pamby historical bullshit. Lets get knights in armour vs. trees with bazookas, or star trek on steriods vs. star wars without morning coffee, that'll be fun.
Ahem, anyway, on a more serious note, we might see another epic when The Hobbit gets made a few years down the line, all the effects of LOTR and king kong, with PJ at the helm, and some good actors (hopefully).
