*TTT - Overall Impressions

[Mintyztwin]

Yeah. I can't figure out what part he (PJ) read either!! <P>Warning: I am really mad. I don't have many good feelings for this movie, so I bet I make several of you mad too. No offense ment.<P>Warning again: This is an absolute spoiler. Haven't seen it, please don't read it!<P>I am absolutly furious! The opening was cool, yeah, but it went stedily downhill. <P>Several points that REALLY bugged me:<P>Saruman actually POSSESING Theoden, and Gandalf saying "Leave him!" or whatever, like he's, well, an exorcist! <P>The orc following Pip and Merry into Fangorn. <P>The ents deciding NOT to go to Isengard!! And having to have Pippin trick Treebeard into going there, and THEN Treebeard gets mad! And suddenly, there's 'bout a thousand Ents coming out of the trees, when only about 8 or 10 were at the Entmoot. <P>Eomer not being at Helm's Deep until the very end. <P>Haldir arriving at Helm's Deep with elves, and then dying.<P>Aragorn falling asleep and waking up with Arwen. <P>Gimli talking about dwarf women to Eowyn. I thought dwarves didn't talk about that much?<P>Legolas "surfing" down the steps on a shield. Cool move, but I thought it wasn't really something an elf would do. <P>Faramir: I won't even go there.<P>Frodo is so depressed and everything, that I don't think he's gonna make it at all! Also, I think PJ hinted (via Galadriel) that he's gonna DIE. So, I'm not happy with that. <P>Frodo going to Gondor. <P>I'm only semi-satisfied with four characters: Gandalf, Legolas, Eomer and Sam. I'm really happy with Sam though, he's exellent! Yeah Sean Austin!<P>Other than that, I did not like it. I don't think it kept in the spirit of ME at all. A lot of the language was really modern, and used nowadays. I really liked FotR, but the movie TTT is not nearly as good, and doesn't stay nearly as close to the books as FotR did.<P>Edit: I remembered some more stuff, and tried to rant less.<p>[ December 18, 2002: Message edited by: Mintyztwin ]
