Return of the King...about time!!! - Page 4

*Taloniss* · 12-17-2003, 03:12 PM

Loved the movie, but I thought the ending dragged on a little.

*Spoilers*

I thought it should have ended after Frodo woke up in bed and everyone came to see him.

Same here, but it was a mesmerizing movie. Those battle scenes were OVERWHELMING, I almost couldn't stand it. And I couldn't figure out why but my eyes were almost tearing at one point near the end.

i have to agree. the movie was actually awsum (and i didnt think it would be)

although i do like this beter than the two towers. i do not like it beter than FOTR. The ending was way too dragged out.

I think it should have ended after the title screen

SPOILER*********************

The Title screen said "The Lord of the Rings"

^What does that mean? Did you not like it?

About the ending, yeah, there were several places where the screen faded out, and you were like "It's over!" but then it wasn't! And then it did it again and again!

I thought the part where Pippin was singing during the battle was pretty cool, except for Denethor sitting at the table pigging out....that was just weird and stupid. It was gross.

What did you think of the relationship between Sam and Frodo? I thought they did a great job of portraying how they bonded and what not....the part where Frodo sends Sam away, was really powerful.

*Taloniss* · 12-18-2003, 07:50 AM

*Spoilers*

Things not to do while seeing Lord of the Rings:

1. Stand up halfway through the movie and yell loudly, "Wait... where the hell is Harry Potter?"

2. Block the entrance to the theater while screaming: "YOU SHALL NOT PASS!" - After the movie, say "Lucas could have done it better."

3. Play a drinking game where you have to take a sip every time someone says: "The Ring."

4. Point and laugh whenever someone dies.

5. Ask everyone around you if they think Gandalf went to Hogwarts.

6. Finish off every one of Elrond's lines with "Mr. Anderson."

7. When Aragorn is crowned king, stand up and at the top of your lungs sing, "And I did it.... MY way...!"

8. Talk like Gollum all through the movie. At the end, bite off someone's finger and fall down the stairs.

9. Dress up as old ladies and reenact "The Battle of Helms Deep" Monty Python style.

10. When Denethor lights the fire, shout "Barbecue!"

11. In TTT when the Ents decide to march to war, stand up and shout "RUN FOREST, RUN!"

12. Every time someone kills an Orc, yell: "That's what I'm Tolkien about!" See how long it takes before you get kicked out of the theatre.

13. During a wide shot of a battle, inquire, "Where's Waldo?"

14. Talk loudly about how you heard that there is a single frame of a nude Elf hidden somewhere in the movie.

15. Start an Orc sing-a-long.

16. Come to the premiere dressed as Frankenfurter and wander around looking terribly confused.

17. When they go in the paths of the dead, wait for tense moment and shout, "I see dead people!"

18. Imitate what you think a conversation between Gollum, Dobby and Yoda would be like.

19. Release a jar of daddy-long-legs into the theater during the Shelob scene.

20. Wonder out loud if Aragorn is going to run for governor of
California.

21. When Shelob comes on, exclaim, "Man! Charlotte's really let herself go!"

End Spoilers

^^ That list is hilarious! Especially the daddy long legs part.

Can't wait til Saturday!

*Voltron* · 12-18-2003, 12:37 PM

I'M RETURNING TO THE THEATRE TO COMPLETE THAT LIST

Quote:

Didn't you like it?

Language does not have a word for my affection for this movie. I couldn't get in opening day because I went dressed as Gollum.

I've been a Lord of the Rings fan since I was in 7th grade. Sitting in that theatre was the pinnacle of my life. I loved it. In fact, there was this hoggish girl who sat next to me, she was very flatulent, and at one point she came back from the bathroom and smelled like kitty-litter, so I endured Hell to see that movie. Not to mention that when I left, my bladder was about to burst.

SPOILER******************************************* ***********

SPOILER*****************************
Especially when it said "The Lord of the Rings" on the title screen.

Man, this was definately the best movie of the year! It was inbelieveable. I found myself getting a little teary eyed during some scenes. Especially when Frodo said he didn't need Sam anymore, and some just sat down and cried.

But, after seeing this movie, I'm convonced that Legolas can single handedly take down the TMNT and Splinter.

raphael90 · 12-18-2003, 11:26 PM

Those were funny Taloniss!

Dinny · 12-19-2003, 04:00 AM

Just a word of advice if you havent seen it yet DO NOT BUY 2 LARGE COKES WITH THE INTENTION OF "SPREADING" THEM OUT ACROSS THE MOVIE. That hurts.

*That Matt Guy* · 12-19-2003, 04:01 AM

Am I the only person on Earth who has never seen any of these movies?

*Storm Wolf* · 12-21-2003, 08:59 PM

oh my....you poor sad little creatures....

you need to watch....at least the first one....which seems to be the best in most peoples opinions.....

*ZariusTwo* · 12-22-2003, 01:45 PM

Hear hear

"Return of the King" had WAYYY too much taken out of it to be considered a faifthful adaptation, the acting and action scenes get a five-star, it is simply INCREDIBLE, but they could have paid more attention to the epilouge, gave Sauroman a role in the film etc

Dude the movie was already of 3 hours long! I'm sure they'll focus on all the extra stuff, like Sauroman's demise, in the Extended Edition DVD.

*ZariusTwo* · 12-22-2003, 03:17 PM

Yeah, I know

Still, on a good scale, I liked it, but when compared to the previous efforts (Fellowship, Two Towers) it's very overated.

*cqb101* · 12-22-2003, 05:41 PM

I'm just dissapointed that they didn't even film the "scouring ofthe shire" I was really looking forward to atelast seein that on the extended edition of the DVD.
