Boba Rhett Posted September 30, 2002 Posted September 30, 2002 Like I said, what did you WANT them to do? They couldn't do anything else. It was great. I think that it was just so much of a cliffhanger that it overloaded your cliffhanger nerves.
Taos Posted September 30, 2002 Author Posted September 30, 2002 Hell, the ending of FOTR was great IMO.......it will lead you right into TTT! TTT should be sweet, I just saw the trailer for it....
Reb Starblazer Posted September 30, 2002 Posted September 30, 2002 Yea, The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings are amazing books, and the movies seem like they're going to be great. Because of The Fellowship of the Ring's incredible success, there's talk of them making the Hobbit as well, which is a great idea in my books. Also, you think that was a cliffhanger ending, heh heh heh, just wait until "Reloaded":D
PhantomHelix Posted September 30, 2002 Posted September 30, 2002 well, at least they could have had it look a little cooler, like if they are walking, and it zooms out so u see the vastness of their so-to-be journey, then zooms out into the clouds, or something like that.........that would have been a lot more interesting, but its not my movie, so ill shut up about the CRAPPY ENDING now.....
Boba Rhett Posted September 30, 2002 Posted September 30, 2002 Err... it ends with them walking away. Whixh was perfect. Not zooming into clouds. It was perfect. Again I say, how would you have done it? As grandpa Simpson would say, bitch....bitch.....bitch.....
Darklighter Posted September 30, 2002 Posted September 30, 2002 BTW I wasn't aiming my comment at anyone specifically...please don't hurt me:(...it's just you don't know how many ppl from my school have come up to me and told me the ending was c**p, and I needed to explain why it was so c**p... ...sorry sorry sorry:(:(...
ZBomber Posted October 1, 2002 Posted October 1, 2002 LOTR is OK..... Thoguht it was kinda boring.... o.O
leXX Posted October 1, 2002 Posted October 1, 2002 jeh...sus! Don't you lot get it! It was meant to end that way ffs. It was a great ending which servered the purpose for which it was intended = to keep us in suspense and get us to watch TTT! It's not one film, it's a TRILOGY!!! phew, I feel much better now

They plan on it. They have Hobbiton all set up and all I mean why not? It only makes sense to.

StormHammer Posted October 1, 2002 Posted October 1, 2002 I also read the books first (well, the complete Lord Of The Rings in one volume), and though it was enjoyable, it seemed to lose it's way in parts. The last two books definitely contain more action. I thought the translation of FOTR to the big screen was great, so I'm definitely looking forward to the next two films. I just hope the film-making machine becomes more favourable towards the fantasy genre as a whole after these 3 films, because it's never really been done justice, in spite of demand. Comics-to-films seems to have taken off, so why not an intelligent and polished resurgence of fantasy in film? Anyone for 'Lord Foul's Bane' (Stephen Donaldson)? How about 'Magician' (Raymond Feist)? Or perhaps 'The Warlock In Spite Of Himself' (Christopher Stasheff)? My point is, there's a lot of great untapped material out there, which makes some of the dross churned out by film studios seem like the Teletubbies on a really bad day.
Agen Posted October 1, 2002 Posted October 1, 2002 my favourite was TTT and i reember it more than the thers quite vividly. I'm jsut wondering how close it's gonna be to what i imagined . They got gollum jsut aobut right in that short little glimpse we had in FOTR LOTR is OK..... Thoguht it was kinda boring.... o.O look my dad fell asleep in a james bond movie but that's just crazy.
leXX Posted October 2, 2002 Posted October 2, 2002 yeah, it's kinda freaky but gollum looks exactly how I imagined him to look! I do however have a problem with Frodo, he looks absolutely nothing like how I imagined him. I think the animated version came pretty close to him though.
Darklighter Posted October 2, 2002 Posted October 2, 2002 Umm, slight book *SPOILER* here... Frodo is way too young in the film, though Wood did alright I guess lol...in hobbit years, in the film Frodo is about 33 (18 in human years)...in the book he's supposed to be 55 (about 30 in human years...that's the prob I had.
Dath Maximus Posted October 2, 2002 Posted October 2, 2002 I have a friend who looks like frodo from the books. its freaky.
Boba Rhett Posted October 2, 2002 Posted October 2, 2002 Hobbits look young, Darklighter. And when Frodo got the ring, it, "froze" him at that age so he especially looks out of place, but he's supposed to. 30 years old for a Hobbit is like 18 years old for a human. I also know someone who looks EXACTLY like frodo. And I can do a dead-on Saruman imitation.
Dath Maximus Posted October 2, 2002 Posted October 2, 2002 well rhett thats good. and you say i have a perverse bat thing going on?
Datheus Posted October 2, 2002 Posted October 2, 2002 Originally posted by Leemu Taos There is a lot to learn, I never did read the book, or even know it was a book for that matter ... All I have to say is this: http://www.movie-comics.com/lotr.htm
Taos Posted October 2, 2002 Author Posted October 2, 2002 *gets up from the ground* *pulls himself together* *makes sure there is no blood* Ok, ok, ok.....I know I deserve it, but it's not totally my fault (I don't know who's it is...). I just hate being ignorant about things.....don't think too harshly of me. It was a funny comic though.
