What are your most hated parts about the L.O.T.R movies? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

we've been through this bashing (and yes it is bashing) before, so I won't reply to the points raised above as this has been done many times before.

the only part I really HATE in the movies is the bit in TT when the rohan woman is sending her daughter and child away on the horse to safety. This is a pure 'Hollywood' moment of the film. (what is it she says, 'I will find you'?), and the close up of the kids crying. It really is vomit enducing, and hauls me right 'out' of the film and back into reality. Much as the moments where we see Jackson or his kids appear in the movies (not that I hate these parts it's just that you get dragged back to the real world for a moment and relaise that you're watching a movie, and think about it in that way)

but really, all in all, the point above is the only part of the movie I actually HATE. I dislike others, yes, but I can get over them. Now, if I could teach my DVD player not to play these few seconds of the movie then all would be fine and dandy.
