<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> My favorite was Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli's because their's had all the harbinger music in it and that was the most intent part of the movie. I like Frodo, Sam, and Smeagol/Gollum's second because I like the whole Smeagol vs Gollum thing. And then Merry and Pippin's. It did get a little monotonous no matter how much I love those two. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> My thoughts exactly, except that my reason for having Merry and Pip’s journey third were slightly different. a. I didn’t like the way that Treebeard was portrayed in the movie. b. their journey was shown as being rather secondary, while in the books it had the feeling of being more important, with the storming of Orthanc and all. Still, it wasn’t bad. And I think that the journey of the Three Hunters wins out over Frodo, Sam, and Gollum’s by not all that much.<BR>I liked Faramir <P>~Menelien<p>[ May 03, 2003: Message edited by: GaladrieloftheOlden ]
