Well, we simply don't know the answer. The only unknowns, when it's all said and done, are Elladan and Elrohir. Tolkien says in his Letters, and Legolas (the Downer, not the Elf) alluded to it,...

I agree that this is a brilliant sequence. Sir Kohran, much thanks for revealing why Pippin is riding with Gandalf when G chases off the Nazgul. It seems obvious now.

Will Lord of the Rings have comparable impact as Star Wars? The same impact, no, but comparable, yes. LOTR is the SW of the early 21st century: the huge dream project that revolutionizes...

Just because he's my favorite character from the books, I'll give my vote to a character who, as far as I can see, hasn't yet received a single vote for Favorite: Frodo Baggins.

Speaking of Andy Serkis, who else thinks he's underrated in this film? Maybe not underrated persay, but he doesn't get as many kudos as he deserves. Everyone, EVERYONE raved about him after TTT,...

This is purely speculation, but I think there's something about just showing the grave of his mother. Don't ask me to explain, but I think it's very possibly more effective than having Arathorn's...

Well, the new articles are exactly what I was looking for: tangible evidence that The Hobbit is indeed coming. It still won't be anywhere near July '07, though.

I'm excited. Excited? Nay,...

Billy Boyd is flat-out awesome in this entire movie, but this is perhaps his best scene, certainly the most difficult. As Elijah, Viggo, Hugo, and others know, it's tough to act one-on-one with Ian...

That's absolutely true, alatar, and that's something I think we definitely should have seen at some point. The relationship between Eomer and Theoden is vital to a full portrayal of both their...

Well, considering their portrayal of Theoden, it wouldn't surprise me at all that he just doesn't even realize Aragorn's relation to Gondor, at least not till 'Gorn runs through the doors with...

The Hobbit? In July 2007?

Ha! I laughed out loud when I read the subject line. Utterly ridiculous. We heard about the LOTR movies how many years before they were filmed? Trust me, if and when...

You could say many things about Faramir in TTT, but I wouldn't say he has a lust for power. Even when he utters those dreaded words, "The Ring will go to Gondor," he does not want the Ring for...

I loved the scene. It's as shocking an introduction into the next movie as the Foundations of Stone scene was for TTT, and I think it sets the tone at the beginning of the film by putting the focus...

Well, that works in the book, but I don't think it would work very well in the film. If they'd thought it would work, they could have just split TTT and ROTK up into the separate books the way...

I think with TTT, they did the best they could, which is still very, very good. And honestly, I think the length of the battle is well nigh perfect. Of course, I only currently own the theatrical...

The Forth Eorlingas scene is pretty good, even with stupid Theoden ready to give it all up like Denethor will in ROTK. When he says "For death and glory," I wonder if he's lost touch with reality. ...

The Legolas/Gimli scene is pretty bad, but it would be tolerable were it not for the atrocious "nervous system" line.

I'm not really sure why they continue the Pippin-apple joke from FOTR here. ...

Interesting perspective; I'd never really seen it that way. I'd always thought Frodo was totally grossed out, but still touched that Gollum would do something like that for him. Maybe your view is...

As far as the Battle of Pelennor Fields, I have heard that there were 100,000, 200,000, 250,000, 300,000, and 600,000 Sauronic forces. All of those numbers came from people who worked on the film,...

Yes, that is correct about the other Smeag-Gol scene, Macalaure. And you're right. Andy Serkis is phenomenal. There is no other Gollum.
