I also thought that the movie was great!!! I watched all 3 parts in the cinema, was lots of fun, even though i was like in the cinema till 430 in th mornin :D
The Ending is not like the book at all and I think that when frodo and sam walk up Mount Doom the hole thing is just to pulled out......but only until they get into the mountain
What do you think about when they are on the mountain when the lava is coming down?Quote:

It's not possible you would melt... ;)
i just saw it and it was pretty good but a bit too long. it was like 3 and a half hours long. and there were some parts near the end when i just wanted it to be over.
yeah they do drag on abit, its only becuase they try to get everything in the books in the film :)
:(
It is so very naughty of all you people who are lucky enough to have watched it, "gloating" about seeing it when some people won't get to see it for weeks to come, not when they want it in the original english language anyway!
i walked out on the first part of lotr because the german translation was so utterly sickening, i couldn't stomach it.
and of course i had to read this thread, can't wait to see what changes he (p.j.) made from the book.
ANYONE KNOW OF ANY CAM VERSION ANYWHERE??????????
Are you serieus? <_<Quote:

I saw it last night. I am disappointed. not becuase of the movie, but because I am still recovering from the flu, so could bearly focus on the screen for the most part. my eyes were watterying, nose running and kept on having to go out the door to have a coughing fit and it was really painful to look at the screen as the lights were too bright. what i saw was bloody amazing however. I missed a lot of vital stuff I hear. oh well, will go see it agian when recovered i guess. can't believe i've finally seen how it concludes! about time!
****spoilers are now below*****
The end wasn't the best, but as someone said I guess it was to get everything in the book. It just seemed to show every single person having a "happy ending" One thing that confused me (mainly becuase I probably missed 90% of movie) was Froddo and Bilbo both going on that boat to die or reach immortality? I managed to hear the part when he was writting the book "lord of the rings" in his house that his injury still caused too many problems. then missed a part, and he went on the boat. anyone know?
I loved the ending man, (glad they didnt put in Scoring of the Shire, Im one of the few who didnt like it in the book)
anyway
SPOILERS
They go off to Valinor, is where the Valar lived (kind of like Gods, Morgoth was a god turned evil and Sauron was his servants that served under him) anyway, Only Elves can directly go to Valinor as they are the First Born, Frodo and Bilbo can not go on the shores of Valinor itself but they can stay on a island off the shore of Valinor. And they do die, just that they die more peacefully than the others
Seen it 2day, going back 2marrow
It was just about as I feared. Too much was cut out because of some odd choice to put Shelob in the third movie.
:ninja:
i was quite pissed they dint put the scoring of shire in dint really explain wot happens to saruman in movie. mebbe in extended version!! fantastic movie though pj def deserves best director!
It will be in the extended version, which means the scouring will be. Add to that the extra speeches and various other little scenes, I bet the extended version will clock in around 4, 4.5 hours.
:ninja:
Skipped school to see this yesterday, definitely worth it, amazing film. Shame they didnt explain what happened to Saruman tho, guess ill have to wait for the dvd. Can someone answer some questions on the books though, as I have not read them:
1) When were they written (what year)?
2) What nationality is Tolkien?
3) What is the ending in the books?
Thanks.
South Africa
it took him 12 years to write it
1.)J.R.R. Tolkien finished the trilogy on 1949, then published on 1955
2.) Bloemfontein, South Africa
3.) The movie has the same ending as the book, almost, except when Frodo, Sam, Pippin and Merry come back to the Shire. In the book the Shire was taken over by humans (if I remember right). Would have been nice to see that part in the theaters...hopefully it's in the extended edition.
Thank You andwhat112. The reason I am curious is: At the end of Return Of The King, when Gandalf and the rest of the Fellowship are fighting orcs at the black gate to allow frodo a safe passage to mount doom, they are saved by massive eagles. Since the eagle is the symbol of America, I wondered if this was symbolism for WW2, when America joined the war at the end and helped the allies when they were in danger. Just a thought, feedback welcome.
there's a chance i might be able to c it with my friend, and he's paying. i'll have to c. but in the mean tme, anyone have $10? donate to the "abu wants to c rotk" fund. please?
I saw a documentary where they had an old interview with Tolkien and he claimed that there was no deeper meaning in his stories. He did not tie them into present affairs what so ever. Tolkien believed people read way too much into his books. Thats probably because they were so damn good, it's hard to believe there was no deeper reasoning behind making them (other than an outlet for Tolkien's love of languages).Quote:

oh and I saw the movie yesterday and I'm quite happy with it. According to P.J. they added the shelob scene into ROTK instead of TTT because there wasn't enough footage involving frodo and sam in the third movie without that scene. Also someone mentioned that the ending dragged on, but I feel after three years and three movies considering the whole scope of the series that the ending was adequate. Of course thats just my opinion. Can't wait to see this flick again......now if I could only find a decent ts, LOL.
To be honest, i heard rumor that the scouring of the shire may not have been filmed, though i would be disapointed if it wasnt.
Could easily be added just after they get there, and get the dirty look from the old man hobbit.
But i do know the sauramon demise was filmed, though possibly at his tower, and early rumors just had his associate killing him there or something.
The Extended Edition has a ton of potential, hopefully they go out with a bang.
No, it wasn't filmed. I found that out last night.
Sigh.
:ninja:
FOTR EE Commentary, PJ said they did not film Scoring of the Shire, the scene in Galadriel's mirror is the only glimps of what Scoring of the Shire would of looked like. Meh, never did like that part in the book anyway
Shelob's Lair was moved for two reasons
1.Not enough screentime for Frodo and Sam
2.Frodo doesnt reach Shelob's lair til Faramir's attemp to recapture Osgiliath and they dont leave Cirith Ungol til the battle of the Pelennor Fields. So timing was an issue
Besides some changes from the book, All I can say is that the movie is greata and they should make the ROTK EE ASAP
god that was so fucken exhausting and terrible. i want my 3 hrs back. shit the fight was alright and everything but the end and all that nonsence they were saying just became repetitive and (for lack of a better term) BORING. my ass was numb, my eyes were red, and my head was spinning from all the laughing i did with my friends at the end. it was so ridiculous. i must say i really tried to like this film but u just cant. u really cant...
