LOTR's ROTK - Page 2

The only bad thing about this movie, is that I felt like it ended 9 times. You are all ready to leave then BOOM..another scene...

Crazy_Cat_Lady · #27 (**permalink**) Dec 22, 03

^^I liked that, i was hoping it would never end. At the end of the movie, I was staggering out of the theaters, from staring at a screen with my eyes wide open for so long. But IT WAS FUCKING MINDBLOWING! It was better then i expected. So many parts I liked...

SPOILERS:

I like it when Denethor jumps from Minis Tirith on fire
I like it when the eagles come
I like it when Eowyn kicks ass
I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE IT AGAIN.
Legolas on the Oliphant was pretty slick.

i haven't read macbeth, so i'll have to take your word on the rest of that quote.

Funny that. But I wouldn't blame it on the movie makers considering that's how it was done in the book.

i wasn't a big fan of the third book either. but i don't recall eowyn killing the ringwraith? i know she hits the ugly bastard, but she doesn't she just wound it?

edit- i'm glad they took out the part where eowyn and faramir meet.

Pippin wounds it, she kills it.

Crazy_Cat_Lady · #31 (**permalink**) Dec 22, 03

i missed the part where faramir and eowyn meet. I wanted to see that...but it was really really long, so i forgive peter jackson. I'm gonna see it again soon. It's definitaly a masterpeice.

sooooo good! that is all, i'd write more but some of these lotr buffs would put me to shame.

Crazy_Cat_Lady · #33 (**permalink**) Dec 22, 03

what was your favorite part?^^

Ryan Ross · #34 (**permalink**) Dec 22, 03

hrmmm, thats tough. The whole battle scene of course, and the part with the oliphants in particular. Its too hard to pick just one though!

Ryan Ross · #35 (**permalink**) Dec 22, 03

that part when he was holding the ring over the lava drove me crazy!!! I was damn near yelling at the screen! DROP THE FUCKING THING ALREADY!!

i think it was merry wasn't it?

i watched it a second Time tonight...and it was definately better. there were only three things that i didn't like.

1. no confrontation with saruman
2. eowyn and the king ringwraith
3. no burning of the shire

and all those things that i hate were all spaced in the movie, in such a way, that i would let that eat my brain for a bit, so that i would bitch to myself at how i didn't really like the movie. but i gave it a second chance, and i found that it was enjoyable...well worth the extra 9.25.

A couple parts were really sweet, that wern't even in the book. When pippin lit the beacon, that signaled to Rohan...does anyone remember reading that in the book? That was fun to watch. And when the fellowship met up in the end...it was different then the book, but it worked. And, did the kingdom of Gondor bow to the hobbits in the book? I'm gonna have to look back on that one too.

The confrontation with Saruman will be in the EE. ^^Why didn't you like the part with Eowyn and the witchking? And the scouring of the shire...that would have dragged the movie out another hour at least. I can't wait to see it again...

i just didn't like it that she killed him...when gandalf and elrond couldn't.

GUYVERUNIT · #39 (**permalink**) Dec 22, 03

The best part of the movie is when the knights of rohan line up at the top of the hill and charge (there were tears in my eye's) :trippin:

crookedking · #40 (**permalink**) Dec 22, 03

actually another part that i didn't like was when faramir and his buddies charge...they fucking charge!...the orcs at osgiliath.

Remember though that she only killed him because Merry helped. If anything it showed the badassageness of Hobbits.

Keep in mind that neither Gandalf nor Elrond are men, as well.

No, the beacons were already lit when Gandalf and Pippin rode in. But since the timing was a lot different in the movies (Frodo said 18 months... I think they spent nearly half that in Lothlorien alone), and they only had so long to develop the character of Denethor, they had to speed up his madness.

It's too bad, though, because he's really honourable until about the last couple hours of his life, and then we find out that he was using the Palantir. Oh well.

According to PJ, it'll be in the EE, but "different"... what that means I have no clue. But yeah.

i havent been able to sit through any of the LOTR movies..i wonder if this movie will be any different? probably not.

im juts not a fan of the genre, and i find the story telling rather long winded.

It definitely is the biggest single achievement at creating a unified vision of a new world. the fact that's its made similar notables look like absolute single-vision crap is amazing. Every aspect of this movie doesn't try too hard, but because of this it is all believable

Hopefully Keenu and George Lucas donate half their earnings to charity for the shame they feel now

you are right on that score of the badassedness of the hobbits...i don't dislike that scene as much now.

that was how i remembered it.... i kind of felt like Merry got gypped in that scene, he should have dealt the death blow

Quote:

i think that part came from the book Unfinished Tales, there's a short story in there that describes the reunion of the fellowship at Minas Tirith, they all get together and fill each other in on what happend after they were separated, drawing some conclusions about what must have been going on in the enemy's mind while all this was happening.

I've seen this movie like 3 times since i saw it when it came out. Piracy rules. lol :hehe:

bLiTz · #50 (**permalink**) Dec 23, 03

ROTK ruled and was by far the best one in my opinion...

I went and watched it last night and have to say the movie was simply amazing. This book was the most remembered to my recollection so I knew the outcome, but couldnt believe how beautifully it all came together. BIG UP THE ARMY OF THE DEAD. I RECOMMEND THIS MOVIE TO EVERYONE

I WOULD HAVE TO SAY 9.1/10
