Anyone else here LOVE LotR?

If you do, then have you seen RotK?
I saw it opening day...it was AWESOME...but now I'm sad because there aren't anymore sad.gif
I didn't read the books they were too confusing but I loved the Two Towers because of the big Helms Deep battle scene 8)

I am going to go see The Return of the King this weekend 8) 8) 8)
Rodrigo
I read books 2 and 3 first, they were confusing. My father didnt want to buy me the book cuz I've already seen the 1st movie. But yesterday I got the first book from LotR and I started reading it, and now it makes sense biggrin.gif
Triad
I loved all the books. Out of the movies well I havn't seen ROTK yet but so far it's the first one. I can't wait to own ROTK when it's released on DVD. imagine all the extra stuff they'd put in.
NastyShort
I SAW RETURN OF THE KING!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTTTTT!!! I LOVED IT I LOVED IT ITS SOO AWESOME WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!!!!!!!
Cho~Cho
koooliz... I voted 2 towers bcuz RotK isn't up there... IT TOTALLY ROCKED!!!!! *gives Orlando Bloom a hug*
NastyShort
Really, I just don't understand some people. They go and sit in a chair for 3 hours and 25 minutes just to see Orlando Bloom? How do you do that? HOW DOES ONE DEDICATE HIMSELF/HERSELF TO DO THAT?
ASC
I've read the books and have seen all LOTR movies. ROTK was the best so far. I can't wait until I can sit down and watch all three extended editions back-to-back...then I will see the movie as Jackson really intended. Maybe there will be a scene about nine-fingered Frodo...
ASC
NastyShort
They had a scene about that in the ROTK movie. Sort of. But I have to say something-
LAY OFF OF FARAMIR TRIAD BECAUSE THAT SUCKER IS MINE!!!!!!!
Lol. Faramir was REALLY pretty in ROTK. But I think all the Rohan people were awesome. They kicked some major butt. ALL of them. Particularly Eowyn, lol. But somehow, I didn't find Shelob to be as scary as I expected.
Triad
Fine Mahwish you have him. I'd prefer Dominic Monaghan aka Merry! I love his voice! Oh, 4 days til I get to see it.
NastyShort
Oh you're gonna come out of that theater traumatized Triad! I did. Well partly because of the movie, partly because the food splattered all over me, but still. IT WAS AWWWWWWWWWESOME!!! That HAS to win the oscar for best picture AND best director, and whatever else its nominated for, or else I'm going to go up there and slap the guy who decides on the oscars. Grr.....
Triad
I read some where that Sean Astin was up for best supporting actor. Im not sure what it was for or if he got it but thats pretty awesome cause hes such a great actor!
NastyShort
Oooh..if he is then he SO deserves that! He is truly awesome. When he began to narrate in the end of Two Towers, that part made me cry. Sam is so awesome! :cry:
Cho~Cho
Yeah, he is... :roll: Well, I'm glad I can have Orlie to myself...
NastyShort
I still don't get it. HOW CAN SOMEONE SIT THROUGH A THREE HOUR AND TWENTY-FIVE MINUTE MOVIE JUST FOR SOME GUY TO PLUCK A BOW?? HE DOESN'T EVEN SHOOT THEM FOR CRYING OUT LOUD! All the arrows are digitally created. All he does is ride a horse fall off and cause a riot. He did go through training though.
Triad
I SAW IT!!!!!! Oh my god!!!! I had tears in my eyes from the beginning. Oh it was soo good! I hated the part were Merry and Pippin had to say goodbye. The look on pippins face killed me! I was almost bawling at the very end. Oh I'm soo sad it's all over now. And Sam oh he's so gorgeous, even when he's crying! I'm never goining to get over it, I'll have to watch it everyday when it comes out on dvd! I just wanted to give them all a big hug! Oh I'm such a sook! Every 2 seconds I had tears in my eyes. But there was one thing wrong with it, the didn't explain what happened to Gimli and Legolas. They told us what everyone else did but of course those who have read the books know but still. Oh ok I'm gonna go now and look up some stills on the net.
NastyShort
YAY! IT was soooo awesome. I get to see it again today with my brother. I have to remember not to cry in front of him, lol.
Rodrigo
Weññ, then I'd better not see it with my friends in case I cry, lol.
NastyShort
It's okay to cry with your friends! And in any case, you're probably more emotionally capable of seeing heart-breaking sights then me. I'm a cry-baby, I cry over everything, lol.
Anonymous
Me too. I can't watch movies like armageddon and deep impact cause I just cry. I'ts soo embarrassing.
Triad
Sorry my comp stuffed up that guest post is me.

Lol, okie. Yeah, I was bawling at the end of Armageddon. By the way, the girl in Armageddon is Liv Tyler, who plays Arwen.
Triad
I think most peopl knew that. And if they didn't where have you been? My sister owns the dvd so we can watch it lots. I own Ghost ship which stars Karl Urban aka Eomer! It's amazing the different roles they all played!
NastyShort
Oooh...really? I can't watch horror movies or else I freak out, lol. Like in the beginning of ROTK, yeah, that wouldn't let me sleep for a while. Lol, you know the guy who plays Grima Wormtongue? Looks totally different! He has long hair and a beard, and he's not pale, and he's actually quite a jolly fellow.
_phoenix_
ROTK is the best! there never was a dull moment! (maybe because i was sitting in the first row and the speakers are sooo loud...)unlike the 1st two kindof fell asleep at some point...

yeah Faramir looks good...next to orli. hahahah! ok i'm one of the legolas freaks here...but really, its gotta win lotsa awards!!!!!!!!!
NastyShort
Its actually nominated for only 4. But it better win ALL of them. Especially Best Picture, and Best Director. I think that Viggo Mortensen should get like an award for best actor or best supporting actor. Oh well, we'll see what happens.

RETURN OF THE KING!!! i saw it three times! (not that much considering how much i loved it =P) it rocked! except the end was kind of... odd. with them all laughing and jumping around on the bed. but... meh!!
Laura
I cry EVERY SINGLE TIME I watch armageddon... no idea why I continue to watch it. but it's a good movie! it's so sad though!! It makes me cry just thinking about it! so saaaadd.... :shock: sad.gif
Hilary fan
It's nice the new DUMBLEDORE acted in there!!!! :idea:
NastyShort
What??? Michael Gambon is the new Dubledore, and I don't think he was in Armageddon and he most certainly wasn't in any of the LOTR movies.
Triad
Michael Gambon wasn't in LOTR. Or Armaggedon. Well I'm positive about LOTR but not 100% sure about Armaggedon.
Aela
For the book as for film I say The Return of the King.
I read the book in two days.

Micheal Gambon wasn't in LOTR and Armaggedon but he was in Sleepy Hollow.

I love L.O.T.R its amazing! biggrin.gif .I cried at R.O.T.K even seeing it 3 times lol.I'm so glad it won the clean sweep at the Oscars.Brill set of flims.Books gd 2 but flims do it better justice.I love the songs 2 May it be & Into the West they r beautiful.
NastyShort
The films came from the books. The films are enormously handy for those who could not comprehend the morals and violence of the books.

The books are obviusly more in-depth and require great intelligence (and a whole lot of time) to understand. That's why there are millions of LOTR geeks out there willing to take the time to do anything for LOTR. It's just another world in which people can relate too.

Many people love it more than Harry Potter because you can relate to it easier, and it was somewhat the first of it's kind. J.R.R Tolkien created this mass world for England. It's supposed to be the history of England, because England "had no -truly-their-own" myths.

Yeah........I'm a big LOTR fan so don't diss any bit of it or get chewed out.
just me
I think all three are great! I cried when Gandalf fell down in LOTR 1, and I cried even more at the end of Rotk!! I love the films!!!!!!

LOTR AND HP ARE THE BEST MOVIES EVER!!!
I LOVE THEM!
aleja23
ohh!!!! i cant chosse between the 3 movies, because i like all, i think all are interesting and have something good, the effects, the actors, ALL!!! biggrin.gif but maybe the best is the 3rd one.
Bingy
Hey this is great, reading all these messages on how much people loved the LOTH films. From a New Zealand point of view it's awesome.
I think 'ROTK' was the best, then...
'fellowship', and last 'The two towers'.[/b]
Packers
the books were the best i have ever read, tolkien is a genious, also the movies were the best ever created. THese are beyond conpare i am a fanatic
tomflover94
my favorite LOR movie has to be the second one, because i just love the war scenes at the castle, it was my favorite fight out of them all. my favorite character has to be legolas he is so awsome with his arrows, i mean how come he never runs out of them it's like every time he takes one another one magicly appears.
