what do you think about the movies and the books of Lord Of The Rings?...i thought the first two movies are good.....

Joshy · #2 12-22-2002, 01:26 AM

Both the movies and books were great.

Facsimile · #3 12-22-2002, 02:50 AM

They say the books are like the greatest ever written or something (correct me if I'm wrong). They are good, but I wouldn't say they are that good.

well i at first just saw the movie because my dad told me how great the books were when he was a a kid, so i saw the first movie and i was like oh my god this is great, it was sooo good. Then i saw the the two towers the night it came out and OMG it was the best movie ever made. Me and Al always talk about how great episode 2 is but o man two towers is the best movie ever made, and i have read the first book and i am in the middle of reading two towers and the books r even more detailed and more info. but the movies rock~!~! cant wait till Return Of The King

Thought the books were excellent.........when I was younger, an animated version of the fellowship of the rings came out.... technology wasnt what it is now!

The films are really good...cant wait for the next one!
Maybe when theyve finished, Peter Jackson would consider filming The Hobbit, just to show what happened before Frodo and co?

nads · #10 01-04-2003, 03:19 PM

I want to try the games

TheBigRaisin · #11 01-04-2003, 03:37 PM

Trebeard ROXORS!!

The movies were alright, but there are many, many other movies that I think were much much better.

The movies are just too damn long. There were a few good parts, but the longness was torture. I really can't see why everybody says it's the best movie ever.

Shmeegull was the best part of the second one. He is a perfect round character, with his personality and the inner conflict and all. If the second movie was just about Frodo, Sam and Shmeegull, then I would have liked it much more. Every other character just talks about useless stuff for too damn long.

I haven't read the books.

I started reading some into the LOTR book, and got confused. I half watched the first movie one night, and it was OK. I wish to see the second one.

And mucnhman, stop using so many ...s! Its annoying that between regular sentences you stick ...s for no reason!

munchman · #15 01-05-2003, 12:19 AM

oh sorry, its a habit. ill try not to do the...s any more.

Miss Odd · #16 01-05-2003, 12:47 AM

Lord of the Rings was great

I think the book is okay, but its no where near as entertaining as other books I have read. I am currently reading the Fellowship of the Ring (number 1) and I only have 8 chapters to go!!! :P

Then you can not judge.

Majic · #18 01-05-2003, 05:08 AM

First impressions. For instance I knew I liked Harry Potter even before the end.

Oddness · #19 01-05-2003, 07:17 AM

I like the book, I love the movies.

LoTR used to be my favourite book, but I sort of grew away from it.

Big_Bro_Slig222 · #20 01-05-2003, 10:04 PM

I read the books a couple times (even the Silmarilion) saw the movies (saw two towers twice now) and have the game.
Yep I like LOTR.

Facsimile · #21 01-05-2003, 11:57 PM

What is the Silmarilion?

Big_Bro_Slig222 · #22 01-06-2003, 12:22 PM

The Silmarilion was written after The LOTR,its sort of the encyclopediaof middle earth, lemme put it this way.

\It is long,there are tons of names that you may or may nothave to remember, but its very very good and will help you understand the other books and the movies. I suggest you read it.

Wave the Gabbit · #23 01-06-2003, 10:22 PM

I don't read much but I really enjoy the movies considering the second movie just came out where I come from.

Al the Vykker · #24 01-06-2003, 10:45 PM

The two towers is just as good as number one. I especially loved when the Spolier:

The tree herders came and struck against Isenguard. And sauroman my fav bad guy besides the wraiths, was shocked at what was happening. I will most likely read the history books on middle earth.(Tolkeins books/encyclopedia type thing on Middle Earth.

Na, most have red the book any way. But still...

TheBlueScrab · #27 01-09-2003, 04:46 PM

What are your favourite scenes in the movie The two Towers?

I like the one where Gandalf fight vs. Balrog.
I like this scene a lot!
And the big war in Rohan.

See ya soon

munchman · #28 01-15-2003, 07:59 PM

i have not seen the Two Towers yet. i hear it is really good, better then the first one. so i am going to see it next time i go out to the movies.

Al the Vykker · #29 01-16-2003, 01:45 AM

You should watch the extended version of number one. Certain parts of the Two Towers make a lot more sense in my opinion after watching it. Although I have both the theatrical and extended so I watched both after I saw the second movie. Hopefully they do an extended version of the two towers though. From what I have heard that the second book since it is the longest out of the three books in the trilogy, its actually twice as long as the movie. Many battles were also just skipped over, as some more stuff with frodo, sam, and gollum. So most likely the extended version should be another hour or more longer. Can't wait.

I would have to say above sauroman. Sauron is really awesome in fellowship when he is fighting off all those guys, just smashing them out of his way like they were figurines.

Lord of The Rings is pretty good... But I wouldn't say THAT good. The plot is pretty good but I didn't like the parts where Aarogon and/or Legolas seem to know everything. Heh, this would really piss off my friend at school. He's like this super LOTR freak. He watches LOTR every single weekend, and knows basically everything. He collects LOTR warhammer(ONLY LOTR warhammer) and keeps humming that Lord Of The Rings tune.
