whitedragon Posted December 23, 2002 Share Posted December 23, 2002 can we say happy tolkien fan i thought the movie would be good but i never expected it to be that good. i nolonger think that gimli was left out of the movie and im happey that he became a action hero/comic relief. everything in the battle of healms deep was more than i expected. the nazguls new steeds are not what i expected, i expected them to be flying horses. and all in all i thought that it was worth the wait. now for disappointment, not very many. i thought that they should have kept with the book when aragorn, legolas and gimli met eomer and aragorn told them that them came from lothlorien and eomer insults galadrel so gimli gets pissed and says "you speak evil of that which is fair beyond the reach of your thoughts and only little wit can excuse you" then eomer says his insult and legolas threatens to shoot him. another is what would have been the coolest action sequience in the movie. in the book eomer is in the battle of helms deep from the begining and in the battle he gets attacked by two orcs and gimli jumps down and chops both there heads of at once. then he tells legolas that he has two and legolas says he has 17 after that i thought that the movie ended to early and they are going to cram abunch of stuff into the return of the king but oh well jackson has done a phenomenal job so far. i guess he will work something out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jo Posted December 23, 2002 Share Posted December 23, 2002 it was all good, but im sure it will have sucked after i finish the book..the only thing i hate was all the girls from my class giggling and drooling over aragorn and legolas, the girl teachers were doing the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

X R Kun Posted December 24, 2002 Share Posted December 24, 2002 now for disappointment, not very many. i thought that they should have kept with the book when aragorn, legolas and gimli met eomer and aragorn told them that them came from lothlorien and eomer insults galadrel so gimli gets pissed and says "you speak evil of that which is fair beyond the reach of your thoughts and only little wit can excuse you" then eomer says his insult and legolas threatens to shoot him. lol. I was waiting for that scene but unfortunately it didnt show. One of my favourite scenes from the book is when Eomer said Arwen is the fairest of them all and ask Gimli if he should ready his sword then.Hahaha funniest moment:laughing: Some of the scenes may have been deleted so wait for the upcoming extended DVD. Heres a list of the deleted scenes http://www.theonering.net/perl/newsview/8/1040672176 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ET Warrior Posted December 24, 2002 Share Posted December 24, 2002 My greatest sorrow came from the fact that fangorn forest did NOT move itself behind the uruk-hai during the battle of helms deep......that would have made me so happy had it been in the movie...

Ratmjedi Posted December 24, 2002 Share Posted December 24, 2002 Very good movie indead. I loved the movie from start to end and was pleased with it. So many good parts and funny ones. I can't wait to see ROTK. That is going to be one good movie. I was most looking forward to the Ents in this movie and they were kickass when they were destroying Isengard. Helmsdeep was also spectacular and very good. I also just went to go see it today at 5:00 P.M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Talliusc Posted December 24, 2002 Share Posted December 24, 2002 awesome movie. i loved it. but i did get angry at all the times jackson screwed with the story and changed stuff. i liked the order of the books and how they played out, there were too many errors to list and they made faramir out to be a jackass which i thought was undeserved. aragorn wasnt supposed to fall into the lake, what ever happened to the spider eh? i know we'll see it next movie but i was looking forward to that. ill stop ranting now. go back to enjoying the thread.

ET Warrior Posted December 24, 2002 Share Posted December 24, 2002 I was kinda upset that they had faramir take frodo and sam to osgiliath....in the books he just let them go from the cave behind the waterfall. On the plus side, the hidden cave behind the waterfall was EXACTLY the way i had it pictured in my mind....it was like deja vu seeing it. And Gollum was amazing. He looked so real, and the voice acting was terrific........i can't say enough good things about tha tmovie.....YEAH!!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wassup Posted December 24, 2002 Share Posted December 24, 2002 Here is an interesting tidbit about Faramir and he similiarly he acts in the book and the movie. Personally, I think the "changing" of our perception of Faramir was great, otherwise if it were like the book the scene would have dragged on and on and had little significance or impact to the movie's tone. Read the article, it has some good points As for the movie...KICK A$$!! BEST MOVIE EVER!! IM SPEECHLESS!! what more can I say. This too the people that have not watched this masterpiece yet (yes all 3 of you, you know who you are...): GO SEE THIS NOW!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
