Anyway, who's not to say that the potatoes didn't come from Numeanore or the Undying Lands?

The most annoying thing? The first scenes with Arwen (up to and including the ford). PJ fumbled them big. Enough said.

Also, let's not forget that (although Tolkien obviously implies it) the setup at the start of the fourth age is not necessarily directly related technologically to our day and age. I seem to recall reading somewhere that if the Incas / Mayans (cant remember which, but South American) had not died out, we'd have reached the moon maybe a thousand years ago - they were way more advanced than anyone else at the time, but the silly sods somehow managed to die out. So perhaps, not that advanced, or backward in a very specific, death-dealing kinda way |

I hate the stupid mushy scene in Rivendell w/ Aragorn & Arwen on that bridge. I mean, how stupid can it get? A love scene in Elvish with subtitles?
*laughs hysterically*

My word of corse they want him and of corse there are going to at least try to "come claim him".... Has anyone care to notice the way Gimli says "stay close young hobbits" (in lothlorien) THE CHICKEN DANCE!!!! I always have to rewind it.... it cracks me up! In the Extended Edition ( i dont know if its in the reg, version ....ive never seen it) On the cast comentaries, on the very begining of the second movie Elijah Wood goes BRBRBRBBR!!!! HAHAHAHAHA! Also i rewound that 100x....gosh you gotta listen to it! Yall just need to get over Tom Bombadil....hes a good book character...but it want Neccessary, i mean lets be reasonible people!

Heh, not quite
Nothing hilighted Liv's efforts better than playing opposite Viggo. She had problems learning the Elvish lines and had to take them a sentence at a time. Viggo asked PJ to put more elvish dialog in. Was it because he loved the sound of it and is a classical, classy actor? Or was he simply poking fun at Liv's inadequacies? |

Does any one else find Aragorns "You cannot Weild it" speach in Rivendell one of the funniest things in the film? It really does sound like his voice hasn't broke yet......

my turn to complain again!
I saw the theatrical trailer for TTT and there's this bit where Arwen yabbers on to Elrond etc. why don't they speak in elvish? if Aragorn does to legolas at the council, why can't Elrond talk to Arwen in elvish? *hates repeating self* Frustrating!

In TTT trailer there are 'orcs' (and I use the word as broadly as possible) riding on lions, or at least cream-coloured wolves. Where the smeg are the great black Wargs?

Welcome Big G! :P Lots of new people lately... okay 2.
I agree that all the previous scenes are dumb. Except, I didn't notice the benign Lothlorien pillows. I actually don't have a lot of complaints about the movie, barring annoyances that will happen in any book to movie transformation. Apparently PJ wanted to make six movies origionally, and I would have preferred this greater depth. If the Scouring of the Shire is truly removed, I'm gonna rage! But as this isn't 100% sure, no major complaints yet... #1 Annoyance: I'm unhappy that each character was one-dimensional in the movie.

amazed nobody mentioned this
I was extremely dismayed to NOT see in the extended version of FOTR all of Galadriel's gifts to the fellowship upon their departure from Lothlorien, particularly that of Sam getting the mallorn seed and soil in the little box. he got some rope? Like Lothlorien was a hardware store....
And what about the Elftone... did I glimpse it on his cloak???? It was supposed to be the beginning of his trnsformation towards kingship and away from renegade ranger status. Oh well... still love the movie and enjoy the magic of it all Last edited by Entish : 12-03-2002 at 08:51 PM. |
