"for the record these two movies were brilliant"... what kind of statement is that? It's utterly subjective, and furthermore, I don't know anyone that wasn't disappointed by them.
But because you say so, I guess I was wrong. That settles the matter then.
Both those movies were bitter disappointments after the first, although I must agree, some of the effects were striking. But I don't think a shit film with great effects should be able to get an oscar. You have to view the effects in the context of everything else, characterisation, plot, story, script, dialogue. An award should be about rewarding an all-round good film that has excelled in a particular area.
Anyway, I'm not arguing about that, I'm taking issue with that retarded quote about the trilogy being tarnished by bad reviews. Maybe the bad reviews came in for a reason?
