Most Fell Death
 
Obviously there are hundreds/thousands of casualties throughout the LOTR movie saga, I was wondering which deaths imparticular people consider most memorably 'Fell'.<BR>To this end I would put forward the way that Legolas slays the Wargrider scout with his blades in TTT: fast,angry and bloody. The half-snarled expression on his face is exactly how I imagined the fellness of an Elfs wrath, and a credit to Orlandos interpretation of being 'Fell'.

Yes, Legolas does have some great fighting scenes. I particularly love the bit in Helms Deep when it is all going a bit wrong, and the sad music starts playing and Theoden is yelling "Retreat!" and all that, and at that moment Legolas pulls out his knives in that swish elven way and starts fighting.<P>I loved the bit when Aragorn finally killed Lurtz. He looked so bloody and manic it scared me.

Yeh, I think that Lurtz was indeed the most fell, although the witch king might take the title.

Funnily enough, I found Hama's death the most disturbing. Poor guy gets eaten by a Warg. <P>Well, not exactly a Warg, but a nasty Hyena-Lemming hybrid.

Lurtz's death was indeed bloody and horrific (and very satisfying....) Hama's death as well. The death of the orc in TTT where the others began to cannibalize him was also extremely vicious.<P>... ooh, I love bloody deaths!

Gah! Hama died??? I missed that somehow... *mutters something about being very very stupid*. I must be truly blind...<P>But I agree with many others, Lurtz death is the most, um, fell... But he deserved it. Just look at the way he made Boromir die so painfully . <BR>Hmm, when I think about it, Boromir's death wasn't very nice either, I mean, he died slowly, with arrows in his chest. Poor guy died in torment *sighs*

Yeah, Good call on Lurtzs fell death Meela! Aragorn does indeed have a manic bloody-as-hell thing going on there <BR>I always see the Aragorn/Lurtz fight as a clash between the best of Mankind Vs best of Uruk-kind thing,it just seems that all the future hangs in the balance whilst their fight rages on, awesomely dark sequence!

I will have to agree with everyone and say that Lurtz's death was the most 'fell'. The fight was very gruesome and bloody, but when Aragorn lopped his head off I must admit I cheered!<BR>Boromir's death was not so fell but very sad and when he died tears came to my eyes. I must say I did like his character, especially in the book. <BR>All the uruk-Hai action in TTT was pretty gruesome too though.<BR>

I felt so sorry when poor Hama died. He dies in the book, but in the book he gets so much more respect, while in the movie he is mainly ignored (and he gets killed by a Warg, which I would think would be one of the most terrible ways to die) <P>The death of Lurtz was the most cool though. I remember when I first saw that scene that it just seemed to go on forever and ever. It is so refreshing just to see Aragorn beat him.

Beruthiel 04-20-2003 09:30 PM

Lurtz definetely had the most fell death. That bit when he licks the dagger is disgusting!<P>Hama shoudn't have died like that! It was so sad, and then later on you see his son...He could have gotten a little more respect like in the book.
