    I will never, ever go camping.. ever.

    But the movie was.. indescribably awesome in my <i>most humble</i> of opinions. Just absolutely breathtaking.

    The entire LOTR sucks. The story for Warcraft 3 isnt even THAT great but it is better IMO

    Butt, did you even read the books? The movie is based on the books. And your saying LOTR sucks. If you only seen the movies, you cant say the same with the books.

    LOTR rules btw.

    the books must be MASSIVE coz if each film is about 3hours it must be over 2000 pages long? and we have to wait a year for the next one OMG!

    Ill admit ive only seen Fellowship of the Ring and it sucked and its just my opinion. But hey I guess I have wierd movie tastes compared to all of you. I don't and never liked the Star Wars Series either, My dad owns episodes 4-6 and I never got into them. And episode 1 was the only movie I saw in theatres in which I actually fell asleep. Didnt bother seeing episode 2

    I saw Equilibrium as well, I thought it was pretty neat, but Two Towers blows anything I saw this year and last year away. Totally away.

    In fact, I'm going to see it again when I have the time, absolutely worth my money.

    Let me put it like this: He wears a beard and likes unconciously drifting through rivers <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

    TTT: Just as good as "Fellowship," which is saying a lot.
    Legolas: His horse-mounting move had the entire crowd cheering. (Watch TTT or you won't know why)
    D&D movie: Hah. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. HAH. hah. hah.

    Oh, I have a single complaint. Enough dwarf stereotyping. I realize the dwarves have certain common characteristics, but when the only line a dwarf has in a movie is "watch the beard," "I hate horses," or "our women have beards," you can tell the writer didn't much care for depth of character.
  • GingerGinger Join Date: 2002-08-01 Member: 1043Members
    its well funny when the main battle is just about to start and the dwarf is standing there and he cant see and he goes "i've picked the right spot". i found that so funny.. and of yeah is Arargon(cant spell it?) the king coz he floats down a river <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I liked this one better than the first one. Maybe it's because i saw this one in a theatre. Oh ya and some people who were a little too involved dressed up like the characters. Before the movie started "Gandalf" got up in front of the crowd and yelled "you shall not pass!" and everyone clapped. It was half funny and half embarrassing.

    Problem is that most of these stereotypes <i>were</i> deduced from Glimli and the dwarves in The Hobbit. You can't exactely change them because they became a little cliché in the meanwhile.

    Right, Tolkien did pioneer much of the "dwarf" concept... I guess it's because the first time I read about dwarves was the D&D player's handbook, where the two paragraphs describing them pretty much sum up all we know of dwarves, so I figured movies were just being short-sighted by following exactly what the handbook described...

    It's kind of scary that an entire race could act so similarly to one another... I guess it's difficult to create a unique character that has such set physical constraints.

    It's also kind of scary that people worry so damn much about the dwarf's rights in the media.

    TTT was FAB.

    The 3 hours just flew by so damn fast and left me aching for more. Cant wait for ROTK. *sigh* another year to go. Apart from "Aragorn's death", Merry and Pippin and the Ents getting so little screen time and that part of Faramirs 'change of character" i say PJ stUck pretty much to Tolkiens TTT.

    Loved the Rohan scenes. The eventual build up to the battle of helms deep was AWE INSPIRING. Gandalf on shadowfax with Eomer and company charging down into the mass or Uruk-Hai was how i imagined it in my mind. It was the bestest scene..omg. Oh yeah not to forget Legolas neat stunt on the horse (better than the shield one!) and the worgs.

    So much to think about. I couldnt eat after watching TTT recolleting all those scenes however hard i try. Those above certainly stood out. I bought the OST with the gold foil stamp on it and with that leathrette darkblue cover. I paid quite abit for that one <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> Does anyone know how to access the exclusives on it? cant seem to unlock them on my com.

    *sigh*

    I thought TT was far far superior to the first one. I'd say I'm a pretty diehard fantasy fan, and I never really liked the books, didn't think the first movie was that great, but was very impressed b the second one. I'd recomend u see it.

    It was a fun action movie, but Jackson completely and utterly butchered the book. <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->
