I always got the impression that Faramir merely told about the Ring when he detailed his conversations with Frodo before his father and Gandalf. But maybe he didn't. I can't say, not having the... |

Undoubtedly, alatar, that is Essex's problem. ;) EDIT: Cross-posted with Nogrod. I liked the Mouth of Sauron, even if there's not much more of him than a mouth. I do have difficulty picturing... |

I don't think he's messing around with her. The two of them have developed a relationship, a deep bond, much deeper than in the books. Besides, look at what he's saying. "I have wished you joy... |

Yes, George Lucas is one of the worst directors of acting ever to make a big-budget film. It still mystifies me how he managed to get memorable performances in the original Star Wars film. I mean,... |

Wow, I can just picture him doing that. Scary. Actually, although it does say that in Unfinished Tales, I don't think Tolkien was set on there being more than five wizards. He gives an account... |

I have always viewed Gothmog as an orc. Maybe this is incorrect, but it seems more likely to me than him being a Nazgul. Throughout LOTR, we are never once given the name of a Ringwraith. In... |

Well, and I think you've hit the nail on the head there, alatar. The "heroes" do become perfectly pointless as the Dead rampage. Perhaps PJ could have made the Dead a bit smaller (as an army, I... |

I think releasing the Dead is the honorable thing to do; maybe not the most strategic, but the most honorable. In the book, it never specifically says that they agreed to fight for Isildur in only... |

Yep, right on, no question the Dead had to be at Minas Tirith. Non-negotiable. Unfortunately, the result is that it makes all the previous fighting by the Rohirrim seem inconsequential. The... |

I don't think Boromir's death is at all tragic, either in the movies or the book. He earns a noble and honorable death, atoning for his seduction by the Ring. "I am sorry. I have paid." Sad that... |
