      oman25 oh please that garbage about sex, betrayal, incest and murder..dont you dare compare GoT to LotR, LoTR is far superior to that crap..GoT is not real fantasy its pseudo-fantasy porn written by a disturbed fat old creeper.. Tolkien's work is always legend.. Martin's trash..good for starting fires

    • @oisinosborne2852
      @oisinosborne2852 10 років тому +1

      I am talking about the books not the tv series anyway lots of ppl regard George R.R. Martin as the tolken of our time. Please do judge A song of ice and fire from what you hear from the game of thrones series is so much better. I bet you will change you mind once you read all of them get it a chance:)

    • @mattshowell7218
      @mattshowell7218 10 років тому +8

      To compare the two is silly really. Tolkien is the quintessential example of high fantasy, GRRM is low fantasy. There is a difference, but I would argue GRRM has done for his genre what Tolkien did for his. Both are equally good, and although I prefer Tolkien's works, it's by a thin margin.

    "And the ship went out into the High Sea and passed into the West, until at last on a night of rain Frodo smelled a sweet fragrance on the air and heard the sound of singing that came over the water. And then it seemed to him that as in his dream in the house of Bombadil, the grey rain-curtain turned all to silver glass and was rolled back, and he beheld white shores and beyond them a far green country under a swift sunrise.”

    The Lord of the Rings Trilogy is the single greatest cinematic achievement...ever! The Return of the King is the greatest closing chapter and the single greatest movie ever put on screen. All other movies lie under it's shadow. There will never be another. And this song proves the greatness that we were all fortunate enough to witness. It's a great time to be alive!!

    Haven't always been the greatest fan of Peter, but goddamn that harmony between his lower voice and higher voice and then the violin on top of that made this freaking amazing! Bravo!

    • @eternitydoor
      @eternitydoor 5 років тому

      guppo26 that harmony is the reason why I dislike. His higher voice alone and the violin and it would have been much better. It has a weird reverb, like his voice doesn't know what sound it's meant to be so is doing both at the same time.

    Guys, this year marks 20 years anniversary of "Return of the King" - and now I feel old, since then I was 20 years old. And I again listen to this beautiful cover - so, poetic and bitter-sweet illustration for "Lord of the Rings" finale. Listen this while reading last chapter of Tolkien's novel and tell me that you didn't shed a tear...
