My girlfriend refuses to watch Lord Of The Rings For The First Time...

LOL.. women would prefer romantic and comedy movie.. what kind of a bf are u.. ~sigh~

I would say sometimes you have to do something for someone you care about just because they enjoy it. The reward for you is spending time with someone you care about doing something he enjoys and that is rewarding enough. The bonus is that you might enjoy it yourself. You dont' have to be so sacrificial all the time but once in a while is good for the relationship.

sory but im with her it sounds like crap to me also i dont want to watch it either

I have seen all three movies only once. Because they are waaaaay to long and also because I am not into movies like that. Also why force her to watch it, when she doesnt want to? I don't force my boyfriend to watch America's Next Top Model, and he doesnt force me to watch Trailer Park Boys.

I'm afraid that my response will be a disappointment for you because I can't see why she should watch it if she doesn't want to. I don't like that type of movie either and I would be pretty aggravated if someone tried to make me watch something I didn't want to watch.

the movie is controversial but i tell u wat ,,if we will xcape the facts that may be realities then we would rather be hiding in our bathrooms,,,there is a difference between watching and beieving..so y to waste the chance of grabbing the history,,may be u never know what is going to happen next

I know it's been a while so I don't know if you've convinced her to watch it or not. I do have some things to add though - my hubby is not into the whole magical sort of movies. Hates them. Doesn't like Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Narnia, ect. I've come to except that because there are types of movies I hate and refuse to watch. EVEN if they're the best movies in the world if I'm just not into that sort of thing I'm still not going to like it. I watch my movies when I'm alone and he does the same with his. And then we've got a crap load that we watch together. When my hubby watched Fellowship it took him 3 sittings to get through the entire movie. I'm not even sure if he watched the last one at all actually. He wanted to see what all the hype was about and he didn't like it. Recently he did "watch" all the HP movies though. BUT he was playing a video game on our smaller TV while I was watching them. That's the only way he would "watch" them otherwise. While he can say "that movie was made well" he'll never say I loved it. I would just give up on the fact. Purphase she'll walk in one day while you're watching it and find she likes it - or finds she was right all along (she doesn't like it). Good luck :)

To actually see a movie that sticks to J R R Tolkien's wonderful book is great.

Personally I love the Lord of the Rings trilogy. I dothink that it would be for s lot of people to want to see, but not everyone will wnat to see it. I think that it is important to remember that everyone has different opinions and they should be respected for their opinions as well.

You may ask her to give it a try. But i guess if she really refuse to watch that movie, that is not the type of movie which catch her interest, just ask her if she can be able to join you watching LOTR just for you coz you really want that movie.

It happens man. You're better off not trying to convince her too much. You won't connect on every level, but you should find other things to connect on. It would be terrible if you two could find no common ground.

Why is it so important to you that she watch it? People have different tastes in movies. Perhaps you should be busy figuring out why you need to control what movies she watches. Can you not watch it without her having to? Let her watch what she wants to and not what she doesn't. I hope you are not as controlling as your post makes you seem or she needs to reevaluate you as a boyfriend. Let me guess, you won't be letting her see this response will you? I didn't think so.

Tell her she should watch the movie first before concluding...

Firstly, I'm a girl and I've a sister who's also a Tolkien fanatic so this disproves some claims that women go only for romantic movies.LOTR is action,adventure, romance packed.The Hobbit and LOTR Trilogy books are our bible and the movies we've watched over and over again so we've practically memorized them but still we can't get enough.Am I addicted? Nope! I just have an office filled with more than a hundred LOTR actionfigures and memorabilia.My cellphone wallpaper,screensaver,ringtone,message tone are all LOTR.I've the ebooks on my cellphone as well.My plan which I'm hoping to carry out soon is to paint the map of Middle Earth on my room walls.If you haven't watched LOTR you're missing half of your life. :)

I'm in the same position mate! My girlfriend HATES Lord of the Rings. She refuses to aknowledge that it's amazing. I've had to give up trying to pursuade her to watch it, it took so much time just to get her to entertain the notion that i might rent it and watch it while she sleeps. All the best with your quest my friend. Let me know how it goes. And if your girlfriend is reading i highly reccomend she watch the movie. It might change her life. Well, make it more interesting. Good luck mate.

I didn't exactly refuse to watch but, more like I kept falling asleep on it. She will watch it, if and when she is ready. I watched it because I was bored and there wasn't anything else on. And I ended up watching all of them at once because my kids got into it. It was ok. Didn't change my life or anything and I probably won't be watching them again but it wasn't the end of the world to watch them either.

I did not want to see the Lord of the Rings when it first came out. As a matter of fact it took me until after the second one to come out to even watch the first one. The only reason I did is because I had no other movie to watch and needed something to watch (I had no cable at the time). They were an amazing set of movies. I don't know what kind of girl (what kinds of movies or actors she likes) you got but even if she doesn't like the movie or the story it has many other things to look at. Orlando Bloom, Sean Bean, Dominic Monaghan, Viggo Mortensen, Elijah Wood, Sean Astin. Tell her to give it a shot, if she doesn't like it once they form the "fellowship of the ring", she probably never will enjoy it. Good luck with it.

I would say "This is a great movie! ....I know you would appreciate a good movie like this because the story line is amazing and the love story that unfolds will touch your heart!" Good Luck

the awards speak for themselves. and they also won best ensemble acting. has she read the book? it really wouldnt compare to the book but, it is fun to see the characters come to life in PJ's vision of LOTR. my favorite film of all time. let her see the extended versions.;)
