I've never actually cried, but there were some parts when I came extremely close.<P>Gandalf's death- I saw the movie before the book (the movie got me into LotR), and Gandalf's death took me by...

Well, he did try to make the movies for all people, like those who had never seen it before. And like the scenes with Aragorn and Arwen, yeah he overdid them, but those are my mom's favorite parts....

That really sucks. Who cares if it was a bit longer of a movie? Even then, he could have put it in the EE. Was it money or time or what? Oh well.

Yes, I agree about orcs. Remember when the hunters set out to chase down the Uruk-hai after they took Merry and Pippin on Amon Hen, they said the Uruk-hai seemed to go out of their way to chop off a...

Well, firstly, are rangers limited to the human race? Why can't an elf just decide to leave and become a ranger? I mean, Elrond's sons were pretty ambitious. They were sent out to find people for the...

I know! I will be upset if it doesn't even end up in the EE! You always see hobbits as peaceful carefree creatures. I was kind of looking forward to see them with bows and stuff, you know, avenging...

I'd be a human and a ranger and roam ME, visiting cities like Rivendell and Lothlorien and Edoras and Minias Tirith and so on. I think it would be cool to live on my own and be a terror with a sword...

okay. I didn't really think mixing goblins and orcs would really create something like an Uruk-hai. Also, i always thought goblins were sort of a breed of orc, not really a species on it's own.

As for crossbows, didn't the Uruk-hai use crossbows? I mean, in Europe, someone tried to get them banned for being inhumane because it required little skill to use and was very powerful. Sounds like...

Tolkien Uruk-hai

I seem to remember somewhere in the books that Uruk-hai were created by mixing orcs and Gondor men. In the movie Gandalf said Uruk-hai were created mixing orcs and goblin men. The latter sounds...

Man! I've never noticed these things. But you're right! Every animals seemed proportionate to the hobbits. It's either an error or they breeded them small. Same goes for the boat thing. Now that you...

Narsil! I can't wait to see Aragorn actually use it in RotK! But Aragorns ranger sword is pretty neat too, as is Hadhafang, Arwen's sword. Go to lordoftheringsshop.com and look under swords and...

I wasn't referring to living balrogs and elves and such. I'm more referring to skeletons and bones and fossils. As far as I have heard, I do not remember anyone finding bones or fossils or that sort...

He was there in the movie, but in the book, he was there earlier, wasn't he? In the movie, Theoden told Aragorn something like "Let this be the hour where we draw swords together." or vice-versa. I...

That helps, but if Osgiliath is the capital of Gondor, then why does the King reside in Minias Tirith? Safety?

Tolkien Elves at Helm's Deep?

In the movie, there were elves that came to aid the Rohirrim at Helm's Deep. I don't remember that being so. I seem to remember Eomer being there. Any other differences between the movie Helm's Deep...

How many other cities of Gondor are there really and what is their significance? You only really hear about Minias Tirith and Osgiliath. Are the others like Minias Tirith: great fortresses? And does...

Book Faramir, definately. In the books, he was clearly much stronger mentally than Boromir. He is much more noble and kind than the weaker Boromir. The movie made him almost opposite than him in the...

Well, i saw Gods and Generals, which was 4 hours. It had an intermission, so if RotK was long enough, an intermission wouldn't be a problem. If they're cutting out the Scouring of the Shire as you...
