What are you most looking forward to see?

In the movies, I mean. Things like the orcs, Gandalfs tricks... etc.

Well, to start-off... I'd like to see Saruman of many colors. I bet they can't handle the cloak (and the hat ) the way I imagined it.

How about you?

Balrog.

The Balrog scene, Battle of the Pelennor fields, Eowyn and the Witch-king, destroying the Ring.

i swear i've replied to this discussion before...

anyway...

- eowyn & the witch-king
- shelob
- pyre of denethor
- lothlorien
- moria, esp. balrog & gandalf
- <growl> tom bombadil (OK, now i KNOW i've replied to this - i had a nice little symbol-rant about a certain character's exclusion) <hiss>

also, if they do it right, the tale of aragorn & arwen. but i don't trust the movie industry to NOT sapify it.

did you say weird?

I wanna see the heads catapulted into Minas Tirith. Maybe they'll use a 'cattle-pult'.

The Holy Marriage of Galadriel and Gandalf...

You'll see, you'll see...

To ban or not to ban, that is the question

I say we ban him just for the fun of it.....

How about the battle scenes where there are trolls?

Yes, Trolls would be pretty cool to see. I would also like to see how Mr. Jackson develops the Barrow Wights, but unfortunately...

I am really looking forward to seeing the whole Return of the King because I had the misfortune of seeing the dumb cartoon before I read the book, so it's taken me a few readings over the years to get the awful images and dramatization of Rankin and Bass out of my head as I was going through the book.

One scene I'm sure the people at Weta will do a great job with is the depiction of the Dead Men of Dunharrow.

Anduin & Darth Tater - if y'all didn't ban people for the OTHER comment on who'd marry Gandalf...

:lol:

Nazgul...lots of Nazgul.

I am dying to see the Battle of the Pelennor and Lothlorien. I hope that justice is done to both scenes.

Yeah, that ought to be cool, too. I remember the cartoon (sort of...it was Bakshi, right?) version of LOTR...I believe it was Helm's deep...the live-action animation tricks were incredibly creepy, and the battle was truly frightening. I can't wait to see the arrows raining down, and dead orcs piling up!

yeah, I'd like to see Helm's deep, as well as the last battle before the gates of Mordor. and now that I think about it, I think that I would love to see Gandalf's fireworks, especially the dragon one.
Hehehehe, I thought the animation in that bakshi one was kinda creepy. Especially in the last few minutes, with the impalings and decapitations.

I'd like to see Saruman imprison Gandalf to Orthanc. And I'd also like to see Gandalf taking Saruman's staff after the destruction of Isengard. And then the scouring of Shire and Saruman's death would be cool too.

Saruman lives! http://www.earlyng.homestead.com/files/saruman.gif

Sadly, I believe they're cutting the scouring of the Shire

oh no! ultimate bummer!

Bummer.

But how are they going to arrange Saruman's death? Is he going to die in Isengard?
