If you could remove one scene...
If you could remove one scene from FOTR and one scene from TTT, what would they be. Keep in mind, I do NOT mean plot changes, such as Osgiliath, Arwen, etc. Just scenes within the movie that didn't seem right to you.
My picks: FOTR: the part where gandalf is doing the spinning/breakdance scene to the tune of Saruman's staff. Too over the top. TTT: the part where Frodo and Sam hide under the Elven cloak. When they are looking through the material from underneath, the guy's foot is right beside them. When the camera switched back outside, he is several feet away. I think the scene sucks. (close 2nd is Legolas' skateboard trick)

I would want Arwen's dumb lovesick "I have made my choice scene" in TTT to go away.

First, I would remove the Osgiliath scenes, since they never happened.
Second, the scene where Haldir...ahem. Third, the scenes that make Gimli look like nothing more than half-witted comic relief. Fourth, the scene where Aragorn is awakened by Brego. C'mon people, he knew it was the horse, not Arwen. *Throws popcorn at the peanut gallery*

In FOTR: The shot in which Arwen says, "If you want him, come and claim him!" I get annoyed there.
In TT: The scene where Frodo goes: "Nothing..... (three hours go by) Just a dream." Ok, so not the whole scene. Just make him say it quicker.

FOTR: The Cave Trool scene...hello? my butt was hurting during that!
TTT: well, i wouldn't remove a scene, but edit one. When Aragorn & co meet Gandalf. He says 'Gandalf, yes, that's what they used to call me', but don't Pippin & Merry see him first? Wouldn't they have called him 'Gandalf'? Legolas' 'Skateboard' trick was cool! (very hard trying to do that in a cardboard box down my stairs, but sisters make such good speed bumps...)

FotR: If you want him, come and claim him. It would be better to delete the Ford all together than that.
TTT: Aragorn's whole, fall-over-the-cliff, think-a-horse-is-Arwen scene.

FOTR: I wanted Gandalf's imprisonment by Saruman to be a flashback that was shared with Frodo. Frodo deserved to know on screen why Gandalf didn't meet him in Bree.
TTT: I know it will happen in the Extended DVD and ROTK, but I would have changed just a few of Faramir's lines to "warm" him up a bit. Otherwise, we're talking near perfection, folks. |

First I would delete the mean Faramir scences.
And second the whole Aragorn seems to be dead plot. Totally useless.

TTT: When Aragorn thinks that Arwen is a horse
FotR: Galadriel's scary voice (when she suddenly grows taller and she turns blue. That part is really scary....) |

I don't know what Tolkien's LETTERS say, but the books HE WROTE include the love story of Arwen and Aragorn. Jackson didn't make it up. The only difference between the books and the movies is the level of focus. So don't give us any baloney about this romance not belonging in LOTR. It most certainly does.

No, it is in poor keeping with the story. That is why Tolkien relegated it to the Appendices. Sorry about the confusion; he said that, while he liked the story, it did NOT belong with the main story of the Lord of the Rings, and therefore he put it in the back.

In Fellowship, I guess it would have to be the scene when the Nazgul enter Bree and smash the gate down, killing the gatekeeper.
In TTT, I would take out the scene where Galadriel and Elrond are communicating telepathically about the unfolding events. The problem is that that scene is the lead-in for the elves coming to Helm's Deep, so something would have to be done in its place to explain it. |
