I fast-forward through most of the Two Towers. If you didn't already know the story, you'd be going "wtf?" constantly.

- stupid plot twist with the Ents
- stupid plot twist with Faramir (except it's almost worth it for the Gollum scene)
- stupid WoMT shooting arrows at the tower and Gandalf has to remind them about Siege Defense 101.
- overly fragile Gondorian walls and trebuchets. The walls shatter like eggs...ridiculous. And if a fell beast was so heavy it could even knock over a trebuchet, never mind blow it apart, it would never fly. Love the grab 4 guys and let them drop 400 feet though...

I will disagree with those moaning about the Sam and Frodo scenes. Gollum is the bestest. Really incredible, the guy should have got an Oscar. And it's a testament to our coddled lives that some of us can't comprehend that level of depth, sacrifice and friendship through trials, without worrying about it being "gay". I think Tolkien would have approved, he'd actually been in a war.

Frodo's face when he gets stabbed and stung. I swear he is reaching a pleasurable peak, it really ruins the moment.

The many looks that Frodo and Sam give each other, you wonder if something is going on behind camera...

I genuinely dislike the walk to Mordor up the cliff face after Minas Morgul, I skip it every time. I have only watched that part twice through.

The forest gump like scene when Frodo runs to the ferry and jumps... I think it should be slow motion, at least make it fully corny if you are going there. He just jumps, if you blinked you would miss it.

Im done, for now.

The worst bit is the fact that they tried to squeeze a potential 30 hour movie into a tenth of that time.

I could not agree with you more. I fear for the future of society.

Anyway, my least favorite part was the complete absence of Tom Bombadil.

That would have been such a great scene.... instead they had to move Old Man Willow to Fangorn. :roll:

I comprehend those concepts in the movie, but it's just boring compared to the other stuff happening :p. Plus you have to admit, that sometimes Frodo is looking at Sam and you can hear him think "i'm so happy you're here, good-lookin'!"
And then Sam looks at Frodo thinking very woriedly "you haven't run out of soap have you, mister Frodo?"

I was watching RotK again lately, and I suddenly wondered why Gandalf told Theoden to go to Minas Tirith's aid, while he was also sending Aragorn to get the army of the dead. in the book it makes sense, but in the movie the AotD kills everyone, so it didn't matter wether the Rohirrim charged in or not. It just caused many of them to die.
Ofcourse, the charge looked good. I still get goosebumps when i see it

Legolas did some naff lines

"the sky is red, blood has been spilled this night."

What's the point????

Yes he should have, but didn't the series get a record breaking amount of Oscars anyway? I mean, it's awsome that it was so great :yay:

but it's definetly in that category (along w/ most of the Star Wars) of movies that hog the Oscars. I imagine all the non-LOTR fanatics might think it's not fair for one movie to get so much hype (even if it deserves it, as LOTR totally does

)

Maybe something to do with the old poem: 'red sky at night sailors delight, red sky in the morning sailors warning'? :roll:

I think the worst part is when gandalf holds of the balrog, i mean, a goofy old man grinning at you and shouting "YOUY CANNOT PASS!!"
Also, the hobbits is kinda annoying, i mean, the way frodo and sam look at each other, and at the end of FotR when pippin and merry hides under a tree TOGETHER and says "hey, come and hide here, its safer (blink blink)"

Too right! Sickeningly cheesy. I cannot watch that part ever again. I turn off the DVD when beardy Aragorn is crowned. Nothing is worth watching after that point.

I think he may have meant, that the worst part of the movies was that they ended...

Yes, slow motion jumping on beds after Frodo wakes up is just wrong. Honestly what was Peter Jackson thinking?

Frodo and Sam.

Gollum's conversation in TTT.

In the extended RotK,

first Aragorn chops off MoS head and when they leave the bodie was dissolved in thin air

oh and the missing of these things: the dead of GG should have been at the introduction, Gildor, TOM BOMBADIL, GLORFINDEL, and what about the Grey Company the most elite of men, Halbarad, the twins???

and not to forget: What the [deleted word] do those elves do at Helms Deep and why the [deleted words] does Haldir die????

okay, the bit in the TT, the terrible counting of uruks gimli and legolas had killed. They both claim 43 (when gimli is sitting on one).

Now, on the battlements, legolas claimed 19, then he shoots at the rope of the ladder support later on when inside the keep, the ladder falls and about 60 uruks get crushed, bad counting don't you think...

Imagine him standing and asking each and averyone of them if he crushed them :twisted:

thats exactly what i thought. the ladder fell down into an army on uruks plus like 30 on the ladder.
