Mike Windu Posted March 30, 2004 Posted March 30, 2004 I feel bad. I'm like, the only person here who DIDN'Tcry at all. I like ROTK. The emotions were well played, much more than FotR. I felt closer to the characters than before. 1 part that went by unmentioned: Pippin's ability to sing. He did a great job, till they started cutting to Denethor's mouth...
abcd1234 Posted March 30, 2004 Posted March 30, 2004 I also thought that Pippin was an excellent singer. I also liked the part when they were at the black gate and they all rushed at it.
Kain Posted March 30, 2004 Posted March 30, 2004 I didn't cry at all during that ending and when Aragorn said 'You bow to no one' , I felt I was going to vomit... Thats just me though. ...f'ing hobbits...
rccar328 Posted March 30, 2004 Posted March 30, 2004 Well, personally, I didn't cry, but I wasn't anywhere near vomiting, either. But then, I knew it was coming - that scene was similar to the book.
ET Warrior Posted March 30, 2004 Posted March 30, 2004 Originally posted by Kain I felt I was going to vomit... That's because you're heartless and evil
Jared Posted March 30, 2004 Posted March 30, 2004 TTT and ROTK made me tear up at some parts, and movies don't normally make me do that, however all the glory in TTT was in the scene where Gandolf was marching down the hill with the waves and waves of soldiers.... and ROTK it was like whoa....every 2 seconds, but you were into the story more than the effects, and overall, I think, was the best movie out of the 3, but I think all 3 are awsome.
Crow_Nest Posted March 30, 2004 Author Posted March 30, 2004 Originally posted by Kain I didn't cry at all during that ending and when Aragorn said 'You bow to no one' Who could cry at that part when its not even sad? I was only smiling

ExcelsioN Posted March 30, 2004 Posted March 30, 2004 ROTK all the way. Originally posted by MMMPIE!!! I didn't cry... Niether did I. Didn't hear anyone crying either.
--ZeeMan-- Posted March 30, 2004 Posted March 30, 2004 but i'm going to go out on a limb here Peter Jackson is the FIRST director i know that has made [/b]A SEQUEL[/b] better than the original AND HE DID IT TWICE so that's why i think RotK is the best one.
rccar328 Posted March 31, 2004 Posted March 31, 2004 Peter Jackson is the FIRST director i know that has made A SEQUEL better than the original But Jackson was just using Tolkien's work...so really, Tolkien made the sequel that was better than the original - Jackson just made them into movies.

dark jedi 8 Posted March 31, 2004 Posted March 31, 2004 ROTK was very impressive. but TTT is VERY close behind. and FOTR also had its great moments. (damn, thier all good!)
rccar328 Posted March 31, 2004 Posted March 31, 2004 Remember that LotR was actually a kind of "sequel" to the Hobbit Was it? Or was The Hobbit the prequel to LOTR? Or does the fact that they're all such great books make it a moot point? Personally, I don't think it matters which movie was better...but I have to say that this LOTR series is defitinely the best out there (especially considering that the rest of them are all animated...). But then, that's not really up for debate - it's pretty much an established fact.
dark jedi 8 Posted March 31, 2004 Posted March 31, 2004 i thought the hobbit was a prequal to the trilogy? i hope jackson gets the rights to it cus he is a damn good director.
Hermie Posted March 31, 2004 Posted March 31, 2004 Tolkien wrote the Hobbit first. his publisher then wanted more of the same kind, and he started on LotR.
Pie™ Posted March 31, 2004 Posted March 31, 2004 Originally posted by Herminator_64 Tolkien wrote the Hobbit first. his publisher then wanted more of the same kind, and he started on LotR. Exactly. And I bet wassup or The_One can confirm that as well
Astrotoy7 Posted April 1, 2004 Posted April 1, 2004 Originally posted by MMMPIE!!! Exactly. And I bet wassup or The_One can confirm that as well actually also, the Hobbit was written as a kids book, LOTR wasnt.... in addition, the first part of LOTR essentially 're-writes' events that describe how Bilbo got the ring, because it wouldnt gel with gollums behaviour in LOTR.... mtfbwya

Crow_Nest Posted April 2, 2004 Author Posted April 2, 2004 Originally posted by Herminator_64 tell that to someone who doesnt know. Ohh!! I didnt know that. Btw guys is this becoming a "the history of LOTR" thread?
Joe© Posted April 2, 2004 Posted April 2, 2004 yes, we'll call it a HOL from now crow joking Tolkien made all the elf langue in his childhood. One of the reasons that he made LOTR was because he was upset that Briton did'ent have a good mythology, so the hobbit was written. Wily
Astrotoy7 Posted April 2, 2004 Posted April 2, 2004 Every now and then I head over to the Tolken Forums(http://www.tolkienforum.com), and am absolutely amazed at the detail of knowledge some of those pp have...some even send messages to each other in elvish.... and I thought we here were freaky and geeky mtfbwya
