  • Read book until Tom Bombadil.

    I have to admit, its boring, but i wait to see Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli, wich are my favourite characters from Two Towers films, and I wait most to read Two Towers.

    I am big Harry Potter fan, and I grown up reading and watching Harry Potter and watching Lord of the Rings, but even the book is boring (the part with Tom, is not that boring as the beginning).

    But any way, if you don't like it, its just fine.

    Peace.

  • HP AND LOTR ARE GOOD

  • I am a massive Tolkien and Rowling fan, like Christopher Lee, I read Tolkien books every year once a year, because the mythology is fascinating, and Harry Potter is a good read for adventure and like Narnia, it's about finding out who you are, I am fifteen and I think they are the greatest writers ever, but I like Jack London also, so quit arguing, I recommend both books, read them and see what you think.

  • Oh for heaven's sake! Will the lot of you stop arguing about this, yes, the Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter ga e their differences, hell, I read all of the pair of them and I thought they were amazing, two people with such imaginations should hailed. But this video, well I agree that this person is a bit of an idiot, no offence to you at all, but reading half of the book does not mean that you can make a judgement now, read the rest of it, and see if it good. I am a big Tolkien and Rowlin

  • Everytime I tried reading Harry Potter I got a massive headache. I went through the first book and was insanley bored. With Lord of the Rings, yea it's a tad bit slow, but I find them much more enjoyable.

  • @nothingofnothingof I think Harry Potter is more enjoyable, oh well(:

  • It is Tom Bombadil dumbass. Okay, Lorf of the Rings is an amazing book. Ever since I read it, most other books seem crap to me, including harry potter. F*** off c***.

  • kgoogofhpmpfopfdf

  • harry potter 4ever!

  • Lol I love all the hate in the comments!! Besides, anyone who says Lotr sucks deserves this hate!! :D

  • None of them suck you retard!!!

  • "All they do is walking and walking and walking" YOU should walk you ugly fat man!

  • Harry Potter is crap for todays mindless kids.

    LotR is nice to read, but one thing I must say too: it's also a child's book and *very* boring in the field of relationships with women. women are nothing but pretty attachments in the book, so I enjoy reading "the wheel of time" series much more.

  • @TheHorsenation Don't say that about Harry Potter! Just because you love "Lord of the Rings" doesn't make it okay to insult! Muggles, nowadays...

  • @MsFireworks1998

    do yourself a favor and read

    The Eye of the World - book 1 of "the wheel of time" series.

    you will like it much more than harry potter.

  • @TheHorsenation No, I won't. I'm on the first book (The Philosopher's Stone) .. I'm not interested into Lord of the Rings.

  • @MsFireworks1998

    I was not recommending Lotr

  • @TheHorsenation Yeah .. Em, well .. You said do yourself a favor and go read Lord of the Rings, and I refuse.

  • @MsFireworks1998

    No, I said read "the eye of the world" , the 1st book of the "wheel of time" epic.

  • @TheHorsenation Bleh.

  • dont even try to compare harry with fucking lord of ring

  • You... My friend.... Are the faggot of a lifetime.. All of the 96 people who have lives and read instead of watch movies all day actually appreciate this one of a kind art.. J.R.R. Tolkien was the first author to invent 3 new languages in a fantasy book... If you call that lame.. You obviously are smoking something dude.. THUMBS THE FUCK UP!

  • U really dnt know good literature moron

  • you are really one ugly stupid man

  • did you steal that book , you work shy benefits stealing cu*nt

  • Look here. It's not about what is written. It's how the author has written it. God help you if you ever try to read 'Remembrance of Things Past' by Marcel Proust. Have you ever even read real literature? It's clear you know nothing about literature, because someone who does would never, EVER use the word 'boring' while presenting an argument. Want to know why? Because the word 'boring' is subjective. If you're too lazy to read a real book, then please pick some some retarded Lee Child novel.

  • What a retard.

  • modern day peon

  • You would say that...you're illiterate

  • Can you actually read ?? And do you live in a caravan ?

    retarded fuckwit :P

  • explanation of this video.....you are an idiot sir...go get some mc nuggets and go to cinema

  • Typical case of tl;dr

  • read 'the hobbit" read ALL of the books, watch the movies twice, and you will like it so much it will be carved in your brain

  • Don't feed the trolls! 

  • lord of the rigns rocks! you bastard

  • he looks like he should be in lord of the rings for fuck sake

  • are you the Comic Book Guy from the Simpsons?

  • you SHOULD probably read the WHOLE book before making a video that sais the book sucks

  • tom bombollocks

  • Awesome, you don't like quality writing. You need action every 10 minutes to keep you awake. As for "all they do is walk," if you haven't realized how many books in general, specifically fantasies, that consist of long journeys, journeys and travel logs in general, then you should probably just stick to films. 

  • Comment removed

  • @FallofDarkness55 God, listen.. If you were a massive fan of Lord of the Rings, that doesn't mean you have all the rights to insult Harry Potter. I didn't read Lord of the Rings, but I'm in the first book of the Harry Potter series and I've watched each one of the movies over 10 times.. And it's amazing. Harry Potter teaches you how to confront your fears, how important friendship is. (I said that based on Stephen King's statement).

    I'm not saying the Lord of the Rings is rubbish, both are good!

  • @MsFireworks1998 i didn't realize i wrote that stupid and ignorant comment. that was 11 months ago. sorry about that but i actually love harry potter. i never actually hated it. i guess i woke up on the wrong side of the bed that morning. i'm so getting the last two harry potter movies. in fact the second part came out today.

  • @FallofDarkness55 Oh x] It's okay :) .. Deathly Hallows part 2 came out two weeks ago in my country .. :O ..

  • Comment removed

  • You should get rid of Lord of the Rings immediately. Throw it away. Go get yourself a nice coloring book, it seems more your level.

  • you should really do more than just skim through the book and act like you read it. At least quote something. Im certain peter jackson didnt those massive battles out of his ass

  • Comment removed

  • really,HP better than lotr,its like comparing jb with eminem,this is so wrong!

  • @danyvan01 yep eminem is way better than that faggot bieber. 

  • Chuck Norris was originally offered the role as Frodo in Lord of the Rings. He declined because, "Only a pussy would need three movies to destroy a piece of jewelery."

  • Your a Troll..

  • I bet he didn't even read the first page. Tom Bamboli.... Bullocks? Get a life.

  • I think that you should walk a little fat ass.And by the way LOTR rule.

  • both suck ass. burn harry potter and lord of the rings

  • wow....some people don't even deserve the human privilege of reading.

  • dude what do you fucking like? Its a great book just picking random pieces out of it doesnt give you a good picture of the books

  • a series of books and movies based on said books about walking and disposing of a ring.

    and it required 3 movies to tell this @ 180 mins a peice to tell?. fuck off!!

    i wont wath this at all. but makes good torture device though

  • Your stupidity makes me feel better about myself as a human being.

    Thank you.

  • @geitepung fuck u . i want you and family dead. fuck and and jack off

  • Hahahahaha, naaw. Hurt your white trash feelings did I?

  • its not just walking!!!! the first 2 chapters provide the back story for the entire book. and the rest is just non stop adventure. read the little prince if you want to see boring.

  • Epic trolling.

  • I don't understand. You can't completely discriminate one of the finest writings of all time because all you want to see is the end of it. You can't take in the adventure and you can't appreciate the build up. You cannot understand articulacy if you're as illiterate as yourself. Seriously, quote "Tom Bombabollocks?" Mocking an art which you could never dream of matching or coming any where close to matching. When you write a novel which surpasses Tolkien's masterpiece, then you can have a say.

  • i gotta admit, im only 140 pages into the book. Chapter 2 and 3 were good, but the rest of it, i think the author puts way too much detail and its pages full of explaining the forest

  • @ds12z Is it as boring as the LOTR movies?

  • Learn to read fist, maybe? :S

  • @Owned6989 How would one "read fist"?

  • You might as well say that the Star Wars movies suck. And until you get plastic surgery, do the world a favor and don't post videos on Youtube showing your face.

  • You didnt understand the book noob! you have the intellect of a 5 years old boy playing with harry potter toys! "Ohh my god hes a wizzard! Hes got a small wooden stick and he going on a wizzard school! Oh my god i want to be Harry Potter!" Get a live and stop making these videos. You argue like a 5 years old boy! "The book was boring... I read only the first 100 pages!" Ohh I think you maust go now... mommy is calling!

  • I always enjoyed the walking scenes because of tolkien's in depth brilliant descriptions of the enviroment and feelings of the characters during those scenes.

  • well thats ok, the book was spost to appeal to people with IQ higher than that of a mouse.

  • Stupid bastard.

  • You were spawned from a cave weren't you? Oh, the irony.

  • I bet you can't even read! Dumb shit! I award your pathetic attempt of a video 1 star!

  • Jesus, you're an Idiot, Tolkien is one of the greatest writers of all time. Who are you to say that his work is crap? He's a genious, he made up several languages and tons of increadible places and it's Tom Bombadil you think dog. How many people agree with you? Well, I've not seen one person agree. Dumbass.

  • SSSorrryyy I can't stop laughing at you idiots argueing about fictional characters. Better get of the Pc mom might make you sleep withy the lights off tonight creeps!

  • You are the most hideous bastard i have ever seen. Shave your fucking ugly head even though on the second thought, the combover suits your ugly everything

  • look at this freak ahahha..... btw nice teeth guy

  • The book doesn't suck you plonker, that's your OPINION, albeit a shitty one.

  • go shit you fat fucker !! LOTR RULES

  • lord of the rings are for dreaming bastards, which sadly is majority here in this gay world.

  • yeah, it inspired many to write, it's the backbone of much fantasy and almost everyone admires his way of writing. Maybe your just not a fantasy fan...oh well. tHey did have a different style of writing back then. our generation is all about action

  • tolkien is great

  • He was one of the best...or probably THE best

  • Agreed. I could live LOTR. Just walk through the park and drop a valuable piece of jewelry into a trash can. That's the whole fuckin' story.

  • you obviously havent read the book

  • Okay, everyone tells me that the movie did the book justice. Why would I want to read about walking? Why would I want to read about something I'd see in a Dungeons and Dragons game? I do enough boring shit, thank you very much.

  • theirs much more to it than that. anyone with a brain would realise it wouldnt sll as well as it did if there was just walking.

    dont say its shit if you havent read it. i wouldnt listen to anything this fatass hobo says

  • ...right...

  • What exactly do you "see" in a D&D game? ;)

    Imagination drives D&D and any book you read.  Enjoy one and you enjoy the other.

  • @SpreadingtheMuse

    I...actually enjoy neither. I've never played D&D.

  • @badacyborg

    Then you missed out on a fun filled evening with a table of laughing friends.

  • Anyway, how else would they get to the other side of Middle Earth? Drive a car? Fly in a plane? I know, they should just teleport themselves there! *sarcasm*

    Next time, think before you post negative videos about great movies and books, when you couldn't come up with shit not even half as good as them...well...ever.

  • It's better than anything you can come up with.

  • It's intended for 8 year olds.

  • Idiot! The Reason why the movie ruled, was becouse the book!

    OkAY?

  • read the whole book before you comment. fuckin idiot can't even finish a book. and brush you're fuckin teeth, maybe then you could get a girlfriend instead of making shitty youtube videos

  • lol

  • your an idiot thats why

  • You are clearly to uncultered and stupid to understand the subtlety of Tolkien's work. Oh and the film was no where near as good as the book.

    You probably prefer HP because it is a childrens book.

  • A just about every fantasy book has atleast a quarter element or lotr in it

  • Dont dis harry potter! LOTR was great, but i think HP will be a legend too.

  • They both suck donkey balls.

  • Harry Potter just sucks. And so you are.

  • Only why you hate the lord of the rings for because you carnt read,because when i remerber it i loved the books.

  • i prefer the films to the books too. not sayin the books are bad, they just take a few years to read haha

    thinkin of reading the sillmarrillion soon

    LOTR kicks the living fuck out of harry potter BTW

  • !!!!!!!!!!!!!YES~

  • for real stop being such an illeterate duche bag and read all the books even epiloges than tell LOTR sucks harry potter is like 9 books and u say LOTR is long man u fan boys are pissin me off

  • hey whadoya kno! another dickface fuckin fat fuck ass hah

  • fuck you LOTR hater!!!!

  • the movies suck compared to the books.

  • Fuck you ASS HOLE LORD OF THE RINGS IS BY FAR BETTER THAN HARRY POTTER. Harry potter was so good but when you compare it to a book that has such drama, history and its not so long. Harry Potter dont get me wrong it was great but it seems that Rowling didnt spend as much time on her books. plus Harry Potter is a Childrens book. lord of the rings is a teen/// adault. I will say this Lord of the Rings does get slow sometimes and i sometimes skip the poems cuz there is alot of poems.

  • Jesus Christ!

    I want my 52 seconds back!

  • Well...someone (mrjonnawman or however you spell it) has a short attention span...

    Gosh, if you honestly think LotR sucks more than HP...Harry Potter just can't compare to the awesomeness of The Lord of the Rings!

  • i read 2 pages of ahrry potter and i got bored of it lotr pwns it

  • lord of the rings sucks? c'mon don't be stupid! In the future people all over the world will still be reading tolkien like now nearly 60 years after its release.

    Harry potter? The whole franchise is overrated and its plot is childlish and predictable compared to tolkien's masterpice

  • read the WHOLE book!PlZ before you say that lotr sucks.

  • harry potter was a crappy book written by a desperate woman who was out of money. lotr, on the other hand, is an excellent book. the reason why you dislike it is becuase it is much older than the modern books of this era. these modern books have very simple and stupid plots. atleast i get to appreciate complex and excellent pieces of literature in english enrichment at school, rather than read a crappy book about a gay boy with a scar on his face.

  • this is the most epic book i've ever read in my entire life, READ IT ALL BEFORE YOU GIVE IT UP. I guess you don't understand anything about lotr.

  • dude, read the whole book before you say something about it..

  • man finish the damn book. you've just read like 100 pages and are judging a GOD FANTASY? A GOD LEGENDARIUM? THE MOST EPICEST OF STORIES?? cmon, you've probably read that .. uhhh... "hairy potty" book or however it's spelled completely, but you havent read even 200 pages of LOTR and start to judge.

  • Your preference for a childrens book, over a work written with complex themes and masterful language says more about you than it does the books themselves. Potter is a childrens tale. A fad. In 500 years humans will yet treasure Tolkien. Rowling will be long forgotten,....like most of your videos are now.

  • sexy accent

  • man get a live

    you begin with now i wanna say this book is realy boring just you are GAY

  • this bitch cant speak even

  • idiot

  • you dont even try to read the book how dump u are stop making this vids if you dont even now were u talking about

  • Alot of people agree with you, me included. I respect the books for starting alot of things, but I just can't get into the books. It's very drawn out, and has huge boring parts. The movies on the otherhand are amazing.

  • come to think of it./.. arent the lotr movies a whole bunch of walking too??/

  • wut u thought it was boring?I read it when I was 11 thats sad.

  • LOTR is the greatest trilogy/Book of all time.This fat fuck has been sucking to many cocks.And HP just sucks ass badly.

  • OMFG! how could you say that!? Your just a dumb-ass who doesn't understand something good if it bit you in the ass.

  • I agree.

    He is an IDIOT!

  • I agree the first book is extremely slow but you can't expect the book to be all action and shit or they'd never get it done. LoTR is alot better. You just have the attention span of a five year old. I agree the books aren't the best written ever ( I personally think the wheel of time is written far better) but the LoTR world is a thousand times more interesting than the HP shit.

  • what a dumbass white-trash. lotr laid the basis for all modern fantasy. but the real reason u cant read it is its targeted for intellectuals, not children.

    rowling creates a world

    tolkien creates a universe

  • yes dude lotr is best fantasy ever

  • Wow, you just put that in great text.

  • ty! :)

  • "rowling creates a world

    tolkien creates a universe"

    I may use that as a quote when comparing the two next time.

  • lol, thanks...

    its not that harry potter is bad. its just nothing compared to the lord of the rings.

  • they were both great and that guy is a fat hobo

  • hahahaha I had the same feeling when reading about the Tom Bombadil stuff. It's true, once you get past that the thing gets better...also, the movies were excellent, they took off the boring stuff.

  • They get better. The 2nd and 3rd are what you oughta read.

  • Lol, it's like in clerks two, "the first movie (walking), The second movie, (walking), Third movie (walking, puts a ring in a pit." Randal was right, there's only one return and that's of the Jedi.

  • YOUR LITTLE BITCH WHO MAKE THIS

  • i like lord of the rings, but the Hobbit is my preferance, HP is ok but not my style, i read LOTR when i was in primary school, and i enjoy the challenge!

  • i like lord of the rings, but the Hobbit is my preferance, HP is ok but not my style, i read LOTR when i was in primary school, and i enjoy the challenge!

  • oo

    _____

  • I bet you were looking at all the pictures in it 00 _______

  • Guys! Don't listen to him! He doesn't understand the literature in the books. It's O.K. to let him say that. Yes the first 100 pages are sorta boring but within those pages you have an Idea what the main characters feelings and virtues are like. J.R.R Tolkien shold be thanked for those books.

  • u saw lord of the rings sucks ah get a life man you probly dont understand ,AND WERE the fuck are you man lol nice house..

  • well actually the book might be boring because i dont really like to read but the movie rocks.

  • what a idiot. lord of the rings is one of the best pieces of literature ever written. you have no concept of tolkiens beauty in language, this man was a professor of english and a dim witted idiot like yourself can not grasp the complexites of this colossal book.

  • omg i like a lot lotr and i like harry potter a bit. did u no that lotr won more OSCARS than harry potter (if it won oscars) also harry potter copied some of lotr things like trolls, gandalf looks like the old wizard, they use magic, etc. i think u are wrong

  • One, you REALLY NEED TO UNDERSTAND THE DIALECT, and also you have to be smart enough to think about the characters, I agree, the first chapter was boring, but other wise, it is a FANTASTIC SIERIES.

  • It´s only the first chapters that suck. Just read on.

  • the lord of the rings needs imagination, a thing you havent got.

  • The Hobbit was good, but the rest weren't as good

  • I agree with this guy. The Hobbit was good, the rest were entirely too slow paced for my taste. They still weren't BAD just not as good as everyone else seems to think they are.

  • "Walk and walk and walk," is your synopsis? And no, there's more to it. You obviously didn't read it. Also, you're talking about the Fellowship, it seems. The 2nd and 3rd are quite good, too. The first is quite long, but anyone with a matured mind can handle it.

    Find some other sources before wasting peoples time again, ok?

    G'day.

  • I'm sorry to inform you that Harry potters writing is for kids, thats why kids and adults enjoy it. It doesn't take a brain to understand. LOTR does I'm afraid which is why you hate it.

  • lord of the rings is rubbish watch clerks two and it explains all three films in a minute!

  • LOTR rocks goddam it, however the film is much better than the books, and its Tom bombadil :P

  • You are partially right about LOTR. It was boring but peppered with some real good parts

  • I didn't like the movies or the books. I liked The Two Towers a bit. I'm a Harry Potter fan. Never was a LotR fan. I guess I should be because I'm your typical D&D nerd, but I don't know. I just think he was using big words superfluously to try not to sound like the knob he was. That's just me though. And some scenes are just redundant.

  • LOTR sucks because its long? thats just pathetic.

  • If you really want to know a really boring book, then it's The Big Sleep, by Raymond Chandler. R. Chandler is one of the worst authors I've ever read, he's a very crappy writer.

  • i dont know man

  • Lord of the Rings cannot suck more than Harry Potter because JK Rowling lifted most of her ideas from JRR Tolkien. And to really enjoy The Rings Trilogy you have to be a young idealistic fool, like I was when I first read them twenty years ago.

  • Finally someone who agrees with me! Respect man!
