Welcome to the thread Dreran the Green (I'm green too, since I am a tree!) I also thought Gandalf's scene was really well done. It was almost exactly as I pictured it, in terms of timing, and bookishness. Physically, I pictured the Balrog a bit differently (no horns or wings, the subject of many debates so let's not go there) but it was so well done I have no complaints. Gandalf is also very well played over all. Some people didn't like Gandalf the White's staff, but I only think he should have kept his old one because that makes more sense to me.
Cheers! |N|

When will this thread no longer be 'important'? It's been six months now.

Dunno but where's the 'extended TTT DVD cut' thread? There has to be one somewhere. I came back here to find out what was likely to be included?

This time last year we was all wetting ourselves over the FotR extended cut (until we saw it and had to endure more tom-foolery from the hobbits). |

Anything TTT is important in this thread. I'm impressed how long it's been going on. I think it would be great if it kept going until RotK came out. But whatev, I doubt that's going to happen.
I don't *gulp* have the Two Towers DVD. I actually feel that the times I saw it in the theatre are good enough. If I had more money, I'd feel otherwise.

![]() I would like to pre-order TTT, but I haven't yet. I am trying to figure out if it would be better to just get the DVD when it comes out and wait the extra while, or preorder it. I think (depending on where you get it from) you would get a better deal with the pre order, but I'm not sure.

There is a thread about the EE, it was started a while ago and kind of died because I guess there hasn't been any new info about what's going to be on it, as far as I know. I'll bring it to the top in case anyone would like to discuss it.
I guess we could release this thread from its "important" status at this point, but I'll wait until crickhollow gets back and see what she thinks. It won't hurt anything to leave it up here for a little while longer. |

With TTT we've already had FotR, so initial enthusiasm has waned a bit (not necessarily cos you don't like it, just cos 3 years of enthusiasm is basically impossible), and have the finale to come. The trouble with the middle bit is, well, it's in the middle ![]() |

Over time, I've seen TTT probably a dozen times in it's entirety - now of course, I just skip to the bits I like.
I just thought I'd mention that there are some bits still that are so brilliant, so well realised visually and so well matched to the soundtrack, that they make me shiver even now. I'm not a huge fan of the soundtrack as a standalone - FotR is better just to listen to, but TTT soundtrack as a soundtrack is almost perfect, and it's this that tends to give me the cues of 'perfection' in a scene. Current top favourite 'shiver + amazing soundtrack' moments are (in no particular order): - The whole Gandalf fighting Balrog start - Gandalf and Eomer appearing at Helm's Deep ('Rohirrim - to the King!') - The Ents deciding to go to war ('It is likely we go to our doom - the Last March of the Ents') - The Ent battle ('A hit, a fine hit!') - The start of Helm's Deep (while waiting, IE the build-up) - Just before Warg battle (Aragorn and Eowyn parting) Several things are curious - first is that they don't necessarily tie in with actual scenes from the film that I like (I can't stand the Warg battle for example), and second is none of them are anything to do with Frodo and Sam ![]() But all in all I'm happy there's still bits I can watch and really feel as if I'm in Tolkien's world. Shame I can't say that about most of the film, but then again I've watched it to death ![]() |

Well, Frodo and Sam weren't the main characters in this movie, so this is understandable.
It did set RotK up well though. (I don't like the Warg battle either, I think it exists to make up for leaving the battle the Fellowship had with Wargs before they reached Moria.)

I've decided I like The Thirteenth Warrior better than TT. However, considering TT as part of the trilogy, I predict I'll end up preferring the whole LotR trilogy to any other movie.

I loved the 13th warrior! It was filmed in BC, my home province. Yes! I liked it because it was a great movie. Though I had some issues with TTT I still liked it better that 13thW. Despite its problems, it was still an awesome movie. It was bound to suffer a little as the 2nd movie in LotR's 3 parts.

I loved TTT, and thought it was way better than the Fellowship.
Don't get me wrong, i loved both movies once I saw the extended version of the fellowship. I just liked TTT more. |
