If you could remove one scene... - Page 6

I fully agree with Gwaimir Windgem about other movies that have no action being successful. Look at Titanic, the story sold that movie, not action or the special effects, it was the beautifully told story. And look how good it did.

That's how I feel about the comedy to. When I go to see a serious movie and comedy is thrown in it makes me loose intrest. Some stuff in Fellowship I did kind of like, mainly the Hobbit stuff early in the movie, but after that it's out of place.

Plus Dwarves are my favorite characters of Tolkien's because in most fantasy Dwarves are always the comical ones. But Tolkien's come off as being a truely proud and stubborn race. I guess that does describe most Dwarves, but Tolkien's are unique IMO.

Gwaimir Windgem · 03-20-2003, 12:15 AM

O.O

The Dark Lord agrees with me. Is that a good thing?

Melko Belcha · 03-20-2003, 12:50 AM

Don't worry about it.

After I was kick out into the Void me and Iluvatar sat down and talked over a cup of tea.

No seriously, he beat some sense into me.

Gwaimir Windgem · 03-20-2003, 02:40 AM

Good for him!

So Sauron needn't have proselytized Ar-Pharazon after all? tsk, such a waste.

Lalaith · 03-20-2003, 12:28 PM

You can say what you want, I like the movies, although there are many things which could be done better. But well, I don't focus on these things and just watch the whole work together and I'm satisfied. The things that are adapted well are really good and some changes I actually do understand (although I don't like them).

**Nurvingiel** · 03-21-2003, 03:50 PM

Even so, I'm sure there's a scene you could do without.

I love the movies too, but I'd still delete the skateboarding scene.

Lalaith · 03-21-2003, 04:46 PM

I didn't like the whole Osgiliath/Faramir is bad stuff.

Gwaimir Windgem · 03-21-2003, 04:49 PM

As do I. Great movies. I love the movies. I just hate the adaptations.

Elvedans · 03-21-2003, 05:01 PM

Does it have to be from TTT because there is one scene in FOTR that i don't like. I don't like the whole Saruman/Gandalf two-old-men-having-a-fisticuffs-in-a-dark-room scene. It makes me cringe, its a bit tacky with all the "uh!" "hyah!" Rah!" sound effects.

Gwaimir Windgem · 03-21-2003, 05:03 PM

That was one of my favorite PJ-scenes!

Melko Belcha · 03-21-2003, 05:09 PM

The Wizard Fight
Bilbo's freak-out in Rivendell
and Galadriel's light show

To me these are the worst scenes in Fellowship. My stomach turns everytime I see them, it's like a bad D&D knock-off.

Elvedans · 03-21-2003, 05:10 PM

Yuk no. I didn't mind the Osgiliath scene, it made me practically scream and jump out of my seat when frodo nearly stabbed sam! My friend had fingernail marks in her hand for about a week afterwards.

straight_face · 03-21-2003, 06:44 PM

I really like the part at the end where Sam is talking and it shows the various scenes of Gandalf, the Ents, etc. I especially like Gollum's hinting about Shelob...

Legolas_GreenLeaf · 03-25-2003, 03:53 PM

I don't know why...but TTT and the FOTR both satisfied me completely. I wouldn't remove any scenes from either of them. I don't know.... I was completely satisfied with the movies.

It seems like I'm the only one.

Gwaimir Windgem · 03-25-2003, 05:09 PM

You obviously haven't read Black Breathelizer's posts.

Be careful! You'll end up as hated as BB!

Gwaimir Windgem · 03-25-2003, 09:48 PM

Bah! A number of people felt that way! It was just BB's militant Jackson devotion and even more militant attitude that Jackson's movies were equal to or better than (I think the latter) Tolkien's book that made him...a bit unpopular, but I wouldn't say hated.

Elf Girl · 03-25-2003, 09:49 PM

Well, BoP hates him...

Gwaimir Windgem · 03-25-2003, 10:21 PM

Well, and LT.

Legolas_GreenLeaf · 03-25-2003, 10:22 PM

I just felt that way because I honestly thought PJ wouldn't and couldn't pull it off.

'What are we going to do now then?' asked Pippin, undaunted by the wizard's bristling brows. "Knock on the door with your head, Peregrin Took,' said Gandalf.
