Where and how did Tolkien make a movie out of LOTR? Person wey don die before them do film sef.

Kaycee7:
Apart from belonging to the fantasy genre, these 2 titles have almost nothing else in common.

G. R. R. Martin was born George Raymond Martin and would later be confirmed Richard. His middle names being the same letters as Tolkien's is nothing more than a coincidence.

GRIMMJOE:
Bro you should start to read and stop making your self look stupid.

Martins added the extra R "Richard' to his name.

GRIMMJOE:
He thinks I'm trying to downplay Martins work because I said he was inspired by Tolkiens. So I told him I even preferred Martin's to Tolkien's. Then showed him prove that Martins truly was inspired by Tolkien, I wasn't making things up.

What most of you children don't understand is, no story is original, even Tolkien borrowed. Before lord of the rings, there have always been wizard, orcs, elves, Tolkien just mashed everything together and made a movie out of it.

Kaycee7:
I don't think you're trying to downplay anything. Your statement would actually be a nice compliment, if it was true. It simply is not. If you want to say Martin is inspired by Tolkien, say that. But implying that A Song of Ice and Fire is basically synonymous to Lord of The Rings is a grossly inaccurate statement that is born out of ignorance or lack of understanding of the individual content of both titles. It's not even heavily inspired by LotR.

This movie thread na cruise, don't take it personally.

Majority here use IMBD rating and Rotten Tomatoes reviews to judge movies.

They also use similar metrics to judge actors, actress and directors.

If they say it's bad, then it's bad.

Man! Movies should be enjoyed.

Popcorn

GRIMMJOE:
Game of thrones is basically Lord of the Rings with nudity.

Even the author modified his name to look like the author of lodr.

G.R.R Martin
J.R.R Tolkien

Hearing "No sudden Move" with it's stellar cast was still a bust...Mannn.. Maybe HBOmax should take a step back from this original movies thing cuz i don't know what they have been doing all year.

phr0nesis:
Had generally favourable reviews from critics

abduleez1:
Why should they?
It's been working wonders for them.

Besides, HBOMax Big Titles is yet to come. So it's still better days ahead. I'm not even sure they promoted the movie enough. Although, with such cast it seems something they planning for Awards night.

oyaskii:
These are 4 titles from them out this year, i choose at random and none of them could even get to 80% on RT. So pray tell the "wonders" these titles have been working for them, probably it's monetary and streaming values.

pu7pl3:
