Lunatic Jedi Posted November 21, 2002 Share Posted November 21, 2002 Personally, I'm really excited about the battle of Helm's Deep. They're previewing a new program called Massive 1.2. It literally acts out battles for you, so you don't have to animate the figures yourself. You build a character template, copy it as many times as you need (you need a helluva lot of orc template copies, I imagine). You program each soldier to a force, and then the opposing forces are assigned AI routes on the fly and act out battles a different way every time. That's how the gigantic armies at Helm's Deep were able to clash so beautifully. So, what are you looking forward to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCanr2d2 Posted November 21, 2002 Share Posted November 21, 2002 How about the end of the movie, as long as it plays the same as the book. Very good ending to the movie, another suspensful ones.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigTeddyPaul Posted November 21, 2002 Share Posted November 21, 2002 Well you probably won't get your ending. I remember the first time I read the books and at the end of the second book I had to keep reading and it was about 3 in the morning on a school night. It was so suspenseful. Now they have taken Shelob out of the ending and put her in RotK. For those of you who do not know Shelob it is a good thing because for us die hard LotR people we are pissed off because it is really losing its adhering to the book status. First Tom Bombaldi, the ARWEN! WTF, and now no Shelob, and maybe no Shire problems like it ends in the books. I am beggining not to like Peter JAckson. MAke the bloody movies 5 hours if you ahve to. In then end they will be called masterpieces. Did anyone complain how long Godfathers was? NO! WHY? It was a damn good trilogy. Same with Braveheart. I could have watched another 3 hours of that movie. Stay true to the creative genius and DAMN THE MAN! SAVE THE BOOKS! Rant over.

Surfnshannon Posted November 21, 2002 Share Posted November 21, 2002 Well being since I haven't read the books - and was a little bored with the first movie. ... I am looking forward to more action. I want to see the charector's relationships with one another grow stronger. I want to find out what happens next. That's really all I expect. To be entertained for the 3 hours.

Eldritch Posted November 21, 2002 Share Posted November 21, 2002 I was most looking forward to Shelob the gigantic spider, but there's a post above that says she won't be in The Two Towers, but she'll make it in RoTK. As for staying absolutely true to the books or not... I'd rather be entertained than have the book turned into a movie verbatum. I don't want the movie to be 5 hours long (the special extended version for Fellowship is long enough). There will always be people to complain about what they'd rather see. And while I agree on some of your points, BigTeddyPaul... some things are necessary to a movie, and some things aren't. Tom Bombadil was not crucial to the movie; yet Arwen as a stronger character (to highlight the love interest) isnecessary to the movie. You have to look at it as a movie adaptation of the book, not the movie version of the book itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckcsaber Posted November 21, 2002 Share Posted November 21, 2002 I know it sucks Shelob isn't in TTT, I want to see Sam kick some ass! . But as long as there is a Shelob I'm okay with it. I can't wait for the Ents. They are going to be really cool. I'm also looking forward to seeing Gimli and Legolas have their little contest, to see who can kill more Orcs at Helms Deep.

Jedi_Monk Posted November 21, 2002 Share Posted November 21, 2002 I want to see the Wargs and the Fell Creatures... I looked through all of the picture books, and companion books and creatures of books and making of books... they all very conveeeeeeeeniently left out a good picture of these two species! It also looked like, from the creatures of book, that we might see a Balrog in Two Towers... is it possible that they'll go back and show us how Gandalf defeated the Balrog in the depths of Kazzad Dhoom (sp?) and escaped Moria?

BigTeddyPaul Posted November 21, 2002 Share Posted November 21, 2002 When Gandalf appears to The Three Hunters he will remember his battle with the Balrog. They will show small glimpses into the battle while he fights. I think. No Shelob in TTT. I am fine as long as she is in the movies. I just want a good ending for TTT. I actually most want to see the Wargs and Ents. NO ELVES AT HELM'S DEEP. BigTeddyPaul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
