I'd do the same as you Silverleaf, except I'd delete another pointless scene from TTT - Legolas' shield skateboard. Stupid!

I thought that scene was great fun. I had to laugh.

Legolas_GreenLeaf · 03-07-2003, 04:03 PM

I personally DONT think legolas's skateboard thing was stupid... if it was, why?I thought it added more to the excitement of the movie. Same w/ Gimli being a more humorous character....

anyway..i agree that haldir shouldn't have died.

so sad

At least that part is somewhat relevant to the sub-plot of the Elves leaving Middle-earth though.

hows that? It just makes me cringe every time I think about that scene.

"Because in the book Arwen loved him, had to have him and was willing to sacrifice her immortality for him. Besides the flight to the Ford (which we've debated to death) the only difference from the book is that PJ is focusing on this intriguing love story more than Tolkien did. "

There are many more differences from the book than the Ford and the focus on the love story.

"You can't just remove arwen..that ruins aragorn's life"

And saving the world doesn't count for anything?

In FOTR - Remove the scene in the Extended edition with Aragorn singing/mumbling on the way to Weathertop.

In TT - Aragorn's fall shouldn't even been conceived, let alone left in the film.

Because Elves are a great, mighty, fair, terrible, fell, and a thousand other adjectives race. A bunch of skaterboys they ain't.

PJ just completely screwed up Gimli. He was a DND dwarf, not one of the Khazad of Middle-earth.

Legolas_GreenLeaf · 03-07-2003, 09:29 PM

well, when you put it that way....

Haven't seen Legolas as a skaterboy ... till now. Horrible picture.

Yeah, I hated that too.

Ok ok the hole skating thing wasnt THAT bad...i mean, it is not one of the most worst seens in the entire movie...the fans of the book dont like it but fans of the movie loved it.

Silverleaf · 03-08-2003, 05:09 PM

but I'm a fan of the book(and movie)..and I liked it..just Most fans of the book don't like it

Nope. I have a list of those.

It's just an abomination before Elf-kind.

Legolas_GreenLeaf · 03-08-2003, 10:21 PM

ok ok ok i rest my case! everyone has different opinions!

straight_face · 03-09-2003, 11:35 AM

Gimli, I expected, needed to have more dignity, as the dwarves hitherto, and how he was revealed in the book. I do not agree with Peter Jackson's depiction of him.

Legolas_GreenLeaf · 03-09-2003, 04:59 PM

I agree to some extent.

Indril Anarion · 03-09-2003, 07:24 PM

FOTR: Would have liked Merry to solve the riddle, instead of "disturbong the water". It would have given the audience a sense that Merry is a bit more serious and it would have been a better transition into TTT when he confronts the Ents

TTT: I loved Legolas' skateboard trick, but wish that the whole scene where Frodo takes the ring to Gondor would disappear, it never happened in the book....wish Faramir would have been nicer to Frodo too

Legolas_GreenLeaf · 03-09-2003, 10:09 PM

guess what Indril Anarion? you are my new best friend...I couldn't agree with you more about FoTR and merry..and w/ legolas and the whole skateboard event...

I thought Froso solved it in the book. I'd delete the Osgiliath stuff too though.

Gwaimir Windgem · 03-10-2003, 02:07 AM

I'm almost positive it was Gandalf.

straight_face, I completely agree with you.

Millane · 03-10-2003, 05:48 AM

yes i agree completely straight-face Gimli needed lots more dignity some of which would have been got out of taking down that warg instead of legolas coming and f***ing it all up

ummm someone had a link to some Movie Award crap, what sort of queers vote there *damn fangirls* since when was Orlando Bloom a better supporting Actor over Sir Ian and like hell that eminem song was better than The Hands That Built America

Lalaith · 03-10-2003, 08:53 AM

Oh god, don't let me think of that Osgiliath thing. That part was really disturbing.
