The Lord of the Rings!
 

What did you guys think of the Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers? I thought it was good, but the book was so much better! Post your opinions about anything that is Lord of the Rings on this thread! See ya!

Where were the Huorns? I wanna see Huorns!!!!!!!!!!!!!:fuzmad: :fuzmad:

yes, i read the books, but the movies were good, but i dont know why the haven't put it out on video yet.

To Ghost: I think that we'll see more of the Hurons in the next movie,I mean we haven't even see nthe part with Saruman yet!

To sligslinger: I think that The Two Towers is coming out August 26th! So keep your eyes open! Disclaimer: If you haven't read the book, please don't read on!

Anyway after reading the all the books(The fellowship of the rings, the two towers, and the return of the king.)
I was so deppressed that Frodo was never happy! Anybody else?

Must..see..king under the moutain...Need...more...*unggggggggg*

I think Lord of the Rings was very well done. I can't wait for the next one! Gollum rocks!

Fellowship so far is still my favorite out of the movies, but Two Towers is still great too.

I think that they were both well done! I just don't like Farimir being EVIL!!! I can't wait for the next movie, when the big spider atacks Frodo and Sam, so cool, and when Gandalf renounces Sarumans power, COOL!!! Has anyone read The Silmerilion?

I actually haven't seen the second movie, but I was disappointed with the first one though... after reading the FOTR and TT (currently reading ROTK) I don't think such a detailed book can be portreyed accuratley in a 2h movie ;)

I say it's better to have a movie rather than not. Personally I love the movie, and Peter Jackson himself said that his is just one interperation of Tolkiens book.

When I first heard they were making a movie of the trilogy, I was upset. But I did enjoy both films. I cant wait for Return of the King.

And the Silmarillion reads more like Ovid's The Metamorphoses. It is the story of how Middle-earth was created, and of the war of the Silmarils with Morgoth the Enemy.......alos known as Melkor. It has allusions to Lucifer, as Melkor was sort of a fallen Valor, or the one whop was jealous of the other Valor and destroyed there works. It was Melkor who originally created the race of Orcs. Orcs were created out of a group of elves Melkor kidnapped and made the Orcs as a mockery to the elves, bastardizing them into a wrenched race of people.

Yeah, I liked the book, but I fell asleep reading it alot. I'm not putting down JRR Tolkiens writing, I just really like Diolouge.

You should see it, even if you didn't like the first one! I think that Jackson did a great job in portraying middle earth, and the movies are 3 hours! Origanally he was just going to do 2 movies!

I was very disappointed when they left that out of the Two Towers movie. It should follow the books a bit more.

The point of the movies is so that people who don't want to/ don't have time to read the books, don't have to.

It's gonna be in the next movie. In the book, the Helm's Deep battle was only a chapter, but it had fantastic detail, but they had to put the detail in the movie, so that's why they didn't put it in yet. The whole time I was whatching the movie, I w2as waiting for those parts to happen, and then when the credits started to role, I was just so sad that that I had to wait another whole year!

I am a lord of the rings freak!!! I love it!!!! the only problem with the movie is they skipp too many parts:( like in the TT the ints were supposed to kill the uru kai not the riders of rohan!!

Hello GrigtheSlig. I do like Lord of the Rings. It is one of my favorite movies along with the Matrix movies. My favorite character is Legolas, he is cute. ;) I enjoyed both of the movies and I do like the books also. I am looking forward to the next one at the end of the year. I read in a newspaper that they have to cut it down, as it would go longer than Two Towers if they included everything!!!!!!

Shelob the spider will be in Return of the King, though she was originally in TTT. Yeah, they changed the story a bit, but I think it all works out in the end. I also heard there will be no Sharky sequence, because RotK will be long enough as it already its.

um, maybe you should read the books again, because the rider's of Rohan do in fact kill the Uruk Hai in the book. It's chapter 3 in the first book of T he Two Towers....just checking here. sorry, but you seem to have gotten the story a bit confused.

Thankyou MrBoj, I was just gonna say that, because they put there heads on sticks and stuff! I wish that they could include the Sharky part, I'd love to see Saruman DIE!!!:D

Me too! Yes, death to Saruman!!! :devil: :fuzvamp: :dead: ;)

Did anybody get really freaked out when they read the last chapter in TT? I was so scared for Frodo!!!:eek: Luckily I had all the books in one book, so I just kept reading!

When is the twin towers coming out! I mean, everything that came after it is already on video! LOL

Dangit, I wanted to say all that. [lotrgeek] Yeah, the whole thing was allusion to the bible, mans fall from grace..and so on and so forth.
Also, the trolls were made from captured ents, turning them from creatures of trees to beasts of stone. Note; His original name was Melkor, the Elves gave him the name Morgoth, the dark enemy of the world. He also made the dragons, but not with some "mutation", but with dark magics and designs, witch is how he made the dragons so powerful. [/lotrgeek]

I think that they want us to wait so long that when it comes out, everyone will make a mad dash to buy it! Briliant!!!

Yes... the twin towers.
Oh gawd, now she is going to say 'No duh, Sherlock'.

um, you must mean the Two Towers, not Twin Towers. The regular edition DVD will be out on August 26. The Platinum Series Extended Edition wil be released November 18. This is aroudn the same time the Fellowship of the Ring was released last year. So it all coincides with each other you see.

Same thing can be said with the Harry Potter movies. I know some people didnt like them a lot, but I thought they were great. It actually is what sparked my interest to start reading the all the books.

I also heard for ROTK they are going to include Sauron in the final battle, and he will be in physical form like in the beginning of fellowships prologue.

I hadn't heard that yet, that's pretty cool! Is there going to be any fighting or what???

Yep, hes going to fight again, hopefully longer than what was shown in Fellowship. But there is going to be something like 10,000 to 100,000? orcs in battle from what Ive heard. Ill try and verify the orc thing. But Sauron is definately confirmed in physical form from what ive read online, and possible film captures.

AWESOME!!! I'm going to see it on my birthday, so that'll be cool! I think there might be more orcs that that, though.

Sounds like one helluva battle! I can't wait to see it!

Hey, Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers is coming out in 5 days if you live in America!:fuzgrin:(I'm not sure if it's being released at the same time all over or what.) I can't wait to see it! I just thought that I should tell everyone!

Check out these teaser posters for Return of the King!:D

Awesome! I hadn't seen those yet. It looks like there will be alot of action. Or maybe I just think that because I've read the books.

If you thought the battle in TT was great wait till you see the battle in RTOK. its supose to be 100 of times bigger and greater.

I am looking forward to the final chapter of the Lord of the Rings.

The books will always be better than movies. Movies are never made like the books. Look at Jurasic Park. The books were so much better. But movies that come close to the book usually end up being an oscar winner.

But in Jurassic Park (the book) Malcom DIED! And then Michael Crition made a sequal about Malcom! I don't get it.:fuzconf: But the book was good, and so was the movie. I think that ROTK will be really good, but nothing can compare to the books!

There's just something about books that you just can't do in the movies. But it is great to have a film out there and actually see the characters you love and hate come to life!

I'm looking forward to ROTK, but I'm going to be sad that it's over. :fuzsad: I've just loved looking forward to another LOTR movie every year and after this one it's over. But, we're still going to have a treat when the extended versions come out! :D

Describe in great detail, explain what one's are thinking, tell history without sidetracking too far.

Anyway, who is your favorite fellow in the fellowship?

A: Gandalf
B: Aragorn(Strider)
C: Borimir
D: Legolas
E: Gimli
F: Merry
G: Pippin
H: Sam
I: Frodo

I'd have to say Gandalf is my favorite! Then everyone else is just tied.

Exactly.

Gandalf would have to be my favorite. I like how he knows everybody and everyone knows him without it being explained. This would imply that Gandalf has gone on many amazing adventures in which he's made many friends in many different places. Of course, there's so much about Gandalf that is a mystery, which makes him so intruiging as a character.

I saw a two minute preview....wow, its going to be great!

Its from the preview with TTT and it was online.

Anyways the official movie trailer is supposed to be out next month.

Plus as I stated earlier, in the final Battle Aragorn will fight Sauron, who will be back in his physical form from the beginning of fellowship.

A side note the week ROTK comes out, select theaters will be showing FOTR, TTT, both extended versions, then showing them back to back right before the midnight showing of ROTK.

Im really looking forward to ROTK!:fuzsmile:
