Havoc Stryphe Posted December 3, 2002 Share Posted December 3, 2002 ROTJ - Return of the Jedi - Star Wars Episode 6 ROTK - Return of the King - Final Lord of the Rings Movie It's nearly impossible to say as of now, but if Peter Jackson continues in the current fashion, I'd say RotK will be a better movie, simply because Tolkien wrote the story, which is magnificent. All jackson has to do is make sure it doesn't drag and the post preduction doesn't get in the way of but rather adds to the story, which he has done a fine job so far. Besides, IMHO, I think ROTJ isn't the greatest Star Wars Film anyways! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zygomaticus Posted December 3, 2002 Share Posted December 3, 2002 Both movies have GREAT heros, GREAT stories, and GREAT plots...but i still think RotJ's emotional content makes it better for me RotK was good too (the book) but the movie might be better..

Boba Rhett Posted December 3, 2002 Share Posted December 3, 2002 I love RotJ but I imagine RotK will be even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishflesh Posted December 3, 2002 Author Share Posted December 3, 2002 Can somebody thel me what the ending is of ROTK? does he just trow in the ring and go home? or is there something more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zygomaticus Posted December 3, 2002 Share Posted December 3, 2002 Well, he throws the ring away *dramatically- a lot happens as to how it happens;)* and then they go back home only to see Saruman has taken over the shire. Now only the 4 hobbits rise up and lead by example as they kick saruman out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boba Rhett Posted December 3, 2002 Share Posted December 3, 2002 He doesn't throw the ring in. In short, he's succumbs to the power of the ring and claims it as his own just as he get's inside the mountain. Gollum, seeing this, get's into a fight with him and eventually bites off his fingers with the ring on it. Gollum is so happy about finally having the ring back he doesn't notice how close he is to the edge and he falls into the lava with the ring. The books still has like 150 pages of story after that happens. The go back to the shire, find Saruman has destroyed it, they fight back and win, Saruman dies. Then it tells you about what happened to various members of the fellowship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishflesh Posted December 3, 2002 Author Share Posted December 3, 2002 TO Rhett Spoiler: So frodo does not have the cuts to trow it in?? man thats a Bad ending! if somebody could do it it would be him and he just can't? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boba Rhett Posted December 3, 2002 Share Posted December 3, 2002 Noooooooooo. It's not that he doesn't have the guts. The ring finally is able to corrupt his mind and, "take control" of him. It's a great ending. Read the books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young David Posted December 3, 2002 Share Posted December 3, 2002 Don't underestimate the ring!!! The movie ens different than the book. The whole Shire thing is left out of it and Saruman will die somewhere at the beginning of RotK (if he doesn't at the end of TTT). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admiral Odin Posted December 4, 2002 Share Posted December 4, 2002 Do you Forget so easily? LoTR has a sad ending, if your remember. After Suaron is defeated there is a large party, wedding ect. When the Hobbits return home they find the shire destroyed and set it right. After that, Frodo makes Sam his heir. Eventually Frodo leaves the Shire and Joins Bilbo and the other elves and leave Middle Earth. I believe Gandalf goes as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zygomaticus Posted December 4, 2002 Share Posted December 4, 2002 yep, but that's really not that sad... everybody's time comes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Odin Posted December 4, 2002 Share Posted December 4, 2002 However it is not a happy one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kylilin Posted December 4, 2002 Share Posted December 4, 2002 I love how Saruman gets wacked by Grima Wormtongue, they have to leave that in the movie. Those last couple of chapters regarding the scouring of the Shire need to stay as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zygomaticus Posted December 4, 2002 Share Posted December 4, 2002 that's the great difficulty of movie making! Everyone expects that once the ring is destroyed the movie should end. Extending it over for another 30-40 mins will only make it boring for the crowd to watch...maybe not for us book lovers. Hence if it's there at all, it shoudl be in the extended footage dvd, if there'll ever be one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boba Rhett Posted December 4, 2002 Share Posted December 4, 2002 Peter already said he's not going to have the whole destruction of the Shire thing. And for that, I am thankful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xwing guy Posted December 4, 2002 Share Posted December 4, 2002 Could someone give me a basic storyline of RotK? I've read as far as to where sam and frodo get attacked by the spider at the end of TTT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young David Posted December 4, 2002 Share Posted December 4, 2002 I've read RotK last year ... I'm currently re reading LotR trilogy. I'm currently at the chapter 'Passage trough the marshes' of TTT ... so that's past halfway. RotK is the shortest book (less than 300 pages) and the last part (50 pages) is left out of the movie. For that reason TTT stops earlier. There are some great chapters from TTT that will be in RotK One giveaway ... If you like battlescenes ... you're gonna like RotK, the book is mostly divided in: The siege of Gondor/the battle at the black gates of Mordor and the last part of Frodo's jourmey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishflesh Posted December 4, 2002 Author Share Posted December 4, 2002 So if i got this , then the book has a sad ending (not that sad) , and the Movie has a happy ending? BTW how do you know that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young David Posted December 4, 2002 Share Posted December 4, 2002 The book ends happy too ... there just happens a lot more before it ends Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
