*can almost hear the movie fans scream when they finally finish the books........."Tolkien left out the fight-scene!" *
If Jackson is doing this...........then he might as well re-name the movies Karate Kid of the Ring Quote:

Nothing about having Sauron at the battle takes away from the themes that Tolkien wrote. |

You've seen it then? Cast your mind back to when you first read the books.......think hard now.......and tell me that you thought "Yeah, it was ok.....would've been better if Aragorn had fought Sauron at the end" IMO the Tolkien Estate should make PJ change the title. BTW.........you need practice on how to flame effectively.....that one is pathetic Last edited by Coney : 05-10-2003 at 04:58 PM. |

What does "having him there" ruin? I wouldn't mind seeing him melt in hideous anguish (or whatever he does ) when the ring gets destroyed! I'm up for it!

I'm not believing anything until I *see* it. Until then, I'm just gonna curse his very name for the damage that already been done.

That, is not right. If he does that, then he is going to throw off Sauron's whole personality (I mean, thats just not what he does, at least, not from my view).

While the Sauron vs. Aragorn thing is still just a rumor, it makes sense. Think hard now about making a movie....and tell me what you think of a flaming eye as the movie-goers only representation for ultimate evil. In FOTR and TTT we had Saruman. But once Saruman is out of the picture, the focus of the third movie becomes a battle of wits between Gandalf (good) versus Sauron (evil). Does a flaming eye carry the same weight and have the same stature as Ian Mckellan as Gandalf the White? I don't think so. By bringing back Sauron in physical form, we have a badassed dude who can, if filmed properly, create the SAME KIND OF FEAR AND TENSION that Tolkien created in his book. But people have to understand that a literal translation of Sauron just doesn't pack the same emotional punch that the book delivered in spades. To paraphrase the immortal words of Darth Vader: "Search your feelings, you KNOW ME to be true!!!" |

Now wait just a second. Don't you think it will confuse people? I thought the movie was saying this: (about Sauron's physical form.)
After the Ring was taken from him at the Last Alliance, he no longer had a 'body', but was a flaming eye. If the attatchment below is not Sauron's form in the movie Third Age, then what is it? His logo? His sign, 'Sauron. All purpose Dark Lord for hire'?

Well PJ ain't Tolkien! The man is mad! He's having delusions that he's the one who went and wrote the best damn book(s) in the whole world(s)!!!!
Oh, and IF, and I'm sayin' IF PJ did give Sauron physical form to match him to Gandalf, Then what I'd like to know is why its ARAGORN and not GANDALF fighting Sauron!?! Does this make sense to anyone but me?? Or have I gone back into being crazy again??

If this is indeed true, it means that I will just skip the third movie. Having already taken a pass on TT, it shouldn't be too difficult.

I put off seeing TTT for months. When I did see it I thought it was so poorly done in comparison to the first one. And my god the 3rd one will make FotR look like Tolkien was in charge of it's directing instead of PJ.

Haven't decided yet if I'll watch the extended DVD of TT...As you said, Coney, maybe a miracle?
I have decided, however, that if PJ creates a Wild West showdown between Sauron and Aragorn at the Mordor Corral, I will definitely NOT see it.
