Lord of the Rings

[Professor X]

The first two movies in the series were awesome, and I'm sure Return of the King will be awesome too. The extended versions that come out every year after the original version of the movie is released on DVD makes the experience even more magical. These movies are by far my favorite. They even beat the original Star Wars trilogy which I thought could never be beat. I got the Two Towers DVD last week and I've watched it alot already. I tried watching the Fellowship of the Ring today, but the music score is so soothing and the dialect is as well, that it put me to sleep! I didn't want to miss any more of the movie so I turned to some football games, but I couldn't go to sleep! Amazing huh? I'm anticipating Return of the King alot. I'm sure alot of other peopel are too, espically the Brits here.

I'm not a huge fan of the genre, but I'm pretty excited to see how it ends. The second one really was good, very exciting to see how it'll turn out for someone who has never read the books.

Believe me it will end great. The movie is bound to be excellent. I don't own The Two towers on DVD. I'm waiting till Nov 17th to get the Extended DVD edition (I did the same with FotR). This extended edition will be 5 discs with an extra 40 minutes in the movie.

RotK will be awsome. I'm looking forward to the fight scenes. The one in TTT were great.

Gimli: Master Elf, I've got 2 kills already...
Legolas: I'm on 16!

I am with you there.

[Hakey Wake]

Pfffffffff, I'm not looking forward to this movie out of a matter of principle. (O.k so I lied, I am anxious to see it because I'm a huge lotr fan)

But here's why I'm not looking forward to it as much as I probably would've been. *SPOILER WARNING FOR THOSE WHO DON'T WANT THE FILM SPOILED*

Can you believe that 'The Scouring of the Shire' is NOT going to happen in this film? I mean the entire ending of the third book is going to be non-existent in this film, who *wouldn't* want to see an army of hobbits take back the shire by force against Saruman?
Exactly, and that makes Saruman an expendable character. (And I know how he meets his 'sticky' end too. However, it will be interesting to see how the Return of the King ends if it's not going to follow the book......

And yes of course the film will be good, and Peter Jackson *should* get the best film award this time around if it's even half as good as its predecessors.

I liked the first movie better for some odd reason, but I am looking forward to the third movie, mainly because it will have Shelob in the beginning.

Well, just to clear something up. The Two Towers original DVD had a preview of the Two Towers extended version. Much to my disapointment, they said it will only have 4 disc again. Just like you guys I'd heard rumors of 5 or 6 disc. But still, I've seen the preview for it and it has some cool scenes.

*SPOILERS*

It shows more about the story behind Boromir and Faramir. It has scenes of them at Minas Tirith talking before they set out their seperate ways. It also has them at Osgiliath, and Boromir is claiming the city for Gondor.


Most of the other scenes were just things you'd expect. More on Merry and Pippin's "sidequest" with the Ents. And more on Frodo and Sam going through the Emyn Muil. Such as the scene were they're climbing down the rope, etc.


SPOILERS END




Anyhow, LOTR in general kicks the gluttious maximus! ROTK will have so many battles. There's four I can think of right of the top of my head! I'm ready for it!

[Hakey Wake]

Yeah I knew about all that extended edition DVD already.

filmforce.ign.com is really quite good.

Accodring to them, the extended edition has 40 mons extra footage on it.

[Professor X]

I've heard rumors that the extended version will be rated R because in they will have a ton of be-headings. The original version was supposed to have the be-headings, but it got a rating of R, so they had to take them out. Of course, they'd be in the Helm's Deep part. Pleasant huh? It's just rumor I've heard though, nothing to get excited about. If seeing someone's head getting chopped off can be described as "Exciting."

Well if it can't I dont want to know what can. I like to see be-headings. I like Gladiator. hehe *gets evil grin and runs off to get swords*

[Hakey Wake]

But weren't there be-headings in the first film? I know there weren't a lot but there were....

[Kaz da Breegull]

Yeppers, LotR is awesome. ^^ One of my friends is obsessed with the series... and Legolas. That's not a bad thing, though... he's a cutie... Bloom... *drools... gets hit by a brick* x_x Whoops. Sorry... ^^;; I can't wait for the 3rd movie... can't wait, can't wait... I have yet to see all of TTT, but I *loved* the TFotR. ^^ 'Twas great.

[Professor X]

I just hope you're a girl....It would be kinda freaky if a guy said that. But, yeah the special edition will be cool. I've counted 3 be-headings in the original Two Towers. Wait....maybe I'm the freaky one now....

[Banjo-Fella]

Anybody who doesn't like TLOTR is an idiot. I usually accept other people's opinions, but this is just common sense !

I read The Hobbit when I was about eight or so, and I'm hooked on the series since. When I heard a film was being produced, I was pretty happy.

Bloody Oscars, they're rigged.

[Jake]

I hardly doubt how beheadings in the Lord of the Rings could earn it an R, especially looking at the first movie.
