Snafu7 Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 I partially agree, but only some of the screens don't look that good, exp:i didn't like the wa that the orcs look, it doesn't seem very Lord of the Ringsish, but once i read the review for it it in gamepro, it kinda changed my mind about it, i'm looking forward to it, as well as the new Matrix online game.

Codja X Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 What about that War of the Ring game that Westwood (sorry, EA) are bringing out? It looks like it uses the models from the ROTK beat em up but has 1000's of characters on screen. How cool would it be if it used the AI created for the battle scenes in the films? (I think it was called MASSIVE or something) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taos Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 I'm looking forward to the extended edition ROTK coming out on dvd. I plan on staying away from any and all mmo's after playing galaxies - which I really enjoyed, I just played it too damn much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dark jedi 8 Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 i'm really anticipating the release of the 3-pack of the extended editions of LotR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snafu7 Posted March 20, 2004 Share Posted March 20, 2004 I thought that the war of the rings game didn't look that good, mostly because I thought the charecters looked a little too cartoonish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dark jedi 8 Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 Is peter jackson going to make "The Hobbit". i heard somewhere he might. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glaive v.1 Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 yeh he wants to but i think new line cinema own the rights to it but someone esle another part of it so they won't make it util they have sorted out. it could be some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

London, england - quality:) That always cracks me up - how many other Londons are there? But back to topic - I can't wait for the ROTK extended edition either - I managed to be strong and not buy the TTT theatrical edition - it's going to be another year of torture:) I've heard the ROTK extended is going to be near 4 1/2 hours in length - the longer the better as i'm concerned. At least we've got the Star Wars DVD's in September - I'll have to settle for those until ROTK Extended comes out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanderer Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 Well what I like in LotR is how people facing death there....they go against hordes of orcs knowing it can cost their lives but they believe in the greater good and so they fight.... To walk your way even if it can cost your live...that impresses me most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To walk your way even if it can cost your live...that impresses me most. Do they have a choice? If I was in their position i'd prefer to be somewhere else but if they don't stand and fight then Sauron would win and they'd all be found, captured and killed anyway. I suppose the choice would be to go out fighting for what you believe in even though it might not make a difference in the end, or run away and take your chances. They chose to fight because they'd rather die than live in a world of darkness. It turned out all right in the end though:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it would be that easy....most diktators in the world wouldn't have a chance I guess....but forget about that. I think your opinion of what I wrote is not so different from what I think....

Codja X Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 Yeah, it does boil down to pretty much the same thing. I just like to look at things from as many points of view as I can. "If it would be that easy....most diktators in the world wouldn't have a chance I guess...." "I suppose the choice would be to go out fighting for what you believe in even though it might not make a difference in the end, or run away and take your chances." I think most people prefer to bury their head in the sand and take their chances, hence the reason why there are so many dictorial regimes in the world. The choice is straightforward, but it's not an easy one. but anyway... Back to LOTR, re-reading the preface of the FOTR it would seem that tolkien disliked allegory and comparison in any form and here we are, 60 years later, still applying it to modern situations. It would seem that despite all our advances, we haven't changed that much at all:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanderer Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 That's right Codja X...Tolkien disliked historical comparisons with his LotR very much...but I think it fits in many situations of life (excuse the bad english please)... Book and Film are two different ways...but both brilliant in their ways... The scene from FotR where Aragorn faced (nearly the end of the movie) dozens of Uruk'hais (don't know how to write it properly)...that was a special moment for me...remember the uruks came the path up...Aragorn drew his sword and greeted (in the way...ok I'm ready...) and faced them... it's undescribeable... you see...I'm not only enthusiastic about this (geeee...what a hero!!!!) No, I learned this feeling to know for many situations in my life...no matter what...I will go on :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that was a pretty special scene - the look in his eyes as he walked towards the Uruk - Hai's - that's a look of a man with a purpose, a single goal. His goal being to protect Frodo and ensure the ring stays on its path - that's where Boromir failed. Aragorn knew the ring had to be destroyed and so was somewhat immune to it's power, whereas Boromir's goal was get the ring for Gondor - a quest the ring's power exploited, finally driving Boromir mad, as power does in those who are irresponsible.

narfblat Posted March 27, 2004 Share Posted March 27, 2004 I find it amazing that a 3+ hour movie can be so entertaining, even the extended editions. ROTK deserved its oscars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
