gimlis fanpeople
I have seen the legolas fangirls and aragorn fangirls i thought why not a gimli fan thread. Of course it can be fangirls which i bet there are tonnes of and fan boys for different obvious reasons. As john rhys davies said "... for real quality warfare you have to go for gimli!"

Fangirls...ha!
I do think JRD is a darn cool actor, and I loved the interviews with him on the TTT game (he was the only one who seemed to be interested at all...), but PJ screwed the character up too much for him to do much.

I would be Gimli´s fangirl but I don´t like his character in the movies (unlike the book) - if certain parts were a bit different, then you´d have at least one fangirl.. John Rhys-Davies was really good though!

YYES!!!
Gimli was great in the movie, perhaps better than the books. And that says a lot because in the books he was already a great character.

i like the way he portrayed gimli, i thought it was the same as the book or not far off from it. . I love his interview in the game.

i know it was stupid when PJ put him as comic relief, and a few other parts, but you have to admit john rhys davies did a good job of acting.

Of course. JRD is a great actor. He did just fine.

That he acted great doesn't mean his part was even remotely similar to the books.

It is too bad. Try reading the books again, it might help.

As long as you want to see Gimli as he really is, you are on the "good side".

i think for the movie though they had to change some stuff around fo the people who hadn't read the books yet so they understand it. i understood it when i saw it and i hadn't read the books but when i saw TTT (i read the book before it) i thought what the hell are they doing but it was easier to understand for my friends who hadn't read the book
(that made no sense did it )
