hmmm.....
nah, my other looked more official...(avatar ya know) k, well. TTT has major probs. personnally, i think that getting somewhere in these discussions is impossible. you either like the films or not, or both. thats how it is; and some people just cant help it if they hate a movie which skewered a classic they are in love with. like me. I seem to be repeating myself...

As it turned out it is just one example of many things that shows what kind of hack jackson is though. [edit]Thranduil - you edited out your post as I was quoting. You obvioulsy already saved your change by the time the post window came up since the quote does not contain the line where you say I shouldn't be concerned by the Lembas scene because it's in the extended edition,

I said nothing about that. Look at it, you have to agree that it looks like what I mentioned. Can you not see it? Look!
Sorry off subject, Will post when I have new meaningful insights. |

FOTR really doesn't deserve to be hated and bashed. And I highly doubt it is a "hack" job. A hollywood flick done so Jackson could make a quick buck. NO. Amazingly the movie is so well done that many people who have read the books prefer the movie. The casting was terrific along with the scenery and sets. But it doesn't stop there. PJ made this even better (movie)by making it a little more exciting. Even with the action I hardly stayed focused on the movie in the theaters, but imagine without the excitement Jackson put in, it kept me entertained. This movie is no hack job. So the conspiracy was left out, thats minor, we didn't need too much of the shire. Tom Bombadil would have been a scene you bashers would have ripped a part if he had been in the movie. Think how silly it would be, it would never work from text to screen. So xena I mean arwen replaces Glorfindel, come on you can't say you really liked Glorfindel that much anyways. Yes she stoll Frodos line, that sucks. overall the movies deserve less bashing and more constructive criticism. After all most of your complaints have been discussed numerous times.

The Shire however is a BIG part - as is the friendship with the hobbits. Bakshi got it right in his movie - when Merry tells Frodo how he may not be able to trust them to let him sneak off on his own into danger - but he can trust them to stick by him through the darkest hours. THAT WAS what was important in FotR - not the Wizards duel, nor the stair falling apart, not the stupid Troll. FotR in my opinion is far worse than TT - mainly because FotR was supposed to show the innocense of the hobbits - not the stupidity of Merry and Pippin the way it does. FotR was not supposed to be an action flick.

But TT isn't better than FOTR. You complain about the 4 minute troll scene in Moria look at your TT with Helms Deep, gimme a break. They could have named the movie Helms Deep. Like you said in your other posts Frodo journeys isn't followed well and its jumpy. I really wasn't satisfied with the ents like I thought I would. But don't get me wrong my point isn't TT is bad, but FOTR exceeds TT greatly. |

In this place will I abide, and my heirs, unto the ending of the world.' 'Then Tuor arrayed himself in the hauberk, and set the helm upon his head, and he girt himself with the sword; black were sheath and belt with clasps of silver. Thus armed he went forth from Turgon's hall, and stood upon the high terraces of Taras in the red light of the sun. None were there to see him, as he gazed westward, gleaming in silver and gold, and he knew not that in that hour he appeared as one of the Mighty of the West, and fit to be father of the kings of the Kings of Men beyond the Sea, as it was indeed his doom to be; but in the taking of those arms a change came upon Tuor son of Huor, and his heart grew great within him. And as he stepped down from the doors the swans did him reverence, and plucking each a great feather from their wings they proffered them to him, laying their long necks upon the stone before his feet; and he took the seven feathers and set them in the crest of his helm, and straightway the swans arose and flew north in the sunset, and Tuor saw them no more.' -Of Tuor and his Coming to Gondolin "Oh.
