I have no problems with all your other scenes that are mentioned. I think that mainly the movie is good - it can be better, it's not perfect, but I enjoyed watching it. (at least most partsof it...) |

The thing that I most especially liked in FotR was that I could always tell where the company was, before any dialogue gave it away. The scenery was fantastic.

What a great thread, I love talking about the movie. Some scenes that are well done that we don't really notice are exactly as they should be. Every scene in the movie can't be the one to stand out in your mind, you can only have a few. So if we don't notice a scene, it deserves credit because it only enhances the powerful scenes. Doing this is another credit to good directing. And whatever people say about Galadriels scenes, you have to admit Cate Blanchett is perfectly cast in that role. Even though most of her scenes are not in line with the book, Galadriel's character is excellent. She and Sam are my favourite characters in the book, and Galadriel and Sam remain my favourite characters in the movie. It's a credit to PJ from my point of view that my two favourite characters are the same in the book and the movie.

I thought that the Helms Deep scenes were great, exept for Haldir's death in that movie, which should never have been considered!

There were a lot of cool aspects of Helm's Deep. The presence of Elves will not be mentioned. Whoops! I especially like the courtyard scenes.

Helms Deep was great and I hope he makes the Lats Battle in Gondor even better (if that could be possible). Lots of the ex. ed. TT scenes were cool too!

Actually, all the fight scenes are well choreographed. The scene where Boromir dies is really sad, and I'm always close to (or in) tears.
I'm sure he'll do a great job of the Battle of Pelannor Fields, battles are what Jackson does best IMO.

I was so impressed that you joined this thread! I thought, "Good for JD, he can see through his hate and point out something good about the movie!" But you went and took a shot at Jackson anyway! That's not what this thread is for.
Someone, it may have been you, criticized Black Breathalizer for never admitting Jackson did anything wrong. Well, I'm challenging you to find something about the movie that you liked, jibe-free!

One scene that blew me away when I first saw it was the very first shot of Edoras--on that little hill in front of the mountains. It was perfect.

I agree zinnite, I loved that scene! I had pictured it differently, but I thought it was cool.

To me, at least, it was implied. I know you didn't actually say "I think", but it would have been appropriate to say "I think LotR is nothing but an action movie." You are stating your opinion.
It is hard to differentiate between a well-supported opinion and a fact. In this case, I happen to think your statement still falls under that category of opinion, but this is my own personal opinion. The fact that I happen to agree with you aside. (Though I would say it's a great action movie.) Anyway, action movie or no, what aspect did you completely enjoy? I'm not intending to personnaly attack you, I'm just curious.

Haha! Okay, good enough. I liked that scene too. (Even though the moth made me laugh, and it probably wasn't supposed to.)
Gandalf: A moth! I haven't eaten in three days! Moth: Wait! I can magically carry a message to -- Gandalf: *eats moth* Now that the book and movie are separate, I don't really mind this scene. Oh no! You're polluting me! This was supposed to be the thread where I say positive things about the movies, not make fun of it! I dump on them enough in other threads. Oh well. It's all good, jolly times.
