Sting least fave!

ive seen plenty of topics about your favorite line or scene but i want to no what is you least favorite scene in the movies and why.<P>In TTT the whole scene with the Arwen dream and him kissing the horse was just plain chessy in my opinion. Cnat think of a bad scene for FOTR though.

Galadriel going ballistic used to make me cringe.<P>The I got used to it.<P>Now it makes me cringe again!! Wanna know why? Do ya? Have you seen the additional discs in the extended cut when it talks about the sounds and voice pickups?? They play a version of Galadriel's speech at full-speed, as it was originally recorded. It sounds SOOOOOO much better, and one can actually understand it. Now I can't go back to the slowed down version again. Pity me... <P><BR>In TTT it has to be Frodo falling face first into the marshes...AAAHHHH I just want to choke him...Don't follow the light stupid Hobbitses... It's just not how I picture Frodo - at all. Small scene and there might be worse one, but it just gets me in particular.

The Eye

Osgiliath. The Indecisive Nazgul thread covered my reasons why, but in a nutshell: it was just so useless! Even on its own terms.<P>In FotR, Frodo's look of pain when he gets stabbed by the cave troll went on a bit too long for me. Other than that, it was great.<P>-Lily

The TTT scene was, of course, the Nazgûl scene in Osgiliath. FotR scene was... wait for it... the Frodo-Sam scene on the river as they are setting off on their own for Mordor. HA! You thought I was gonna say Boromir's death scene, didn't you?!

ohhh i hate the osgilith scene to.Unlike alot of people though i hate Sams line "its your Sam, dont you remember your Sam" or however it goes. i hate that line and it would ruin that whole scene but the whole scene was bad. In FOTR i kinda liked the crazed Galadriel scene. My least favorite had to be ............The if you want him come and claim him scene and the Arwen and the brige scene. (Yeh Arwen isnt my favorite charecter).

Most definitely the Arwen and Aragorn scene in TTT. Argh!! It just makes me so mad because it is so pointless! Also, the scene in Osgiliath with Frodo and the Nazgul was ridiculous.

For TTT, I loathed the Osgiliath scene and any of the scenes with Arwen in them; esp. the one where she comforts Aragorn and the camera zooms in on her boobs! And the part with Legolas swinging on to the horse was pretty awful. (I mean all they did was film him swinging off the horse and play it backwards!)<BR>In FOTR I didn't totally dislike any one scene. The scene where Galadriel goes ballistic would have been better if they had toned it down a little. But I really can't complain, FOTR is just an excellent movie! <p>[ February 16, 2003: Message edited by: hobbit punk ]

Hmm... in The Two Towers, probably when Arwen was saying, "... slleeeeeppp... sleeepp..." to Aragorn. <P>It was hilarious though the second time I saw it, because I was watching it with a friend (first time for her to see it), and my brothers, and when Arwen says, "Sleeeeep..." my friend started cracking up, and then when Arwen says it the SECOND time, "Sleeeeeeeepp..." My brothers, she, and I all started laughing... I kinda felt sorry for everyone else in the theater, "trying to enjoy this great romantic scene while these kids are laughing their heads off for no apparent reason". Okay sorry, that was pointless. I'll shut up now.

o i did that too. I have this problem where if i think something is chessy i burst out laughing like the whole Arwen sleep scene. i also laugh when its really quite. i went again recently wit my best friend and at the part when Treebeard sees all the cut down trees it gets really quite and i burst out laughing. At these parts in the movie i usally get more atenntion than the movie because everyone is staring at me because im laughing.

I would have to go with the Aragorn going over the cliff scene, because that did not belong there, and should not have been there. I am just sitting there thinking to myself "This should not be happening to Aragorn, there is much better things they could be doing right now". In a close second place is the removing of Saurman from Theoden, and in third is the part when Frodo falls into the marshes, because the animation of the faces in the water reminds me of bad horror movies.

In FotR: The Council of Elrond. It's so amazingly cringe-worthy in a way that I didn't even believe existed before I saw it! Especially when they all start fighting. And the end: "And you shall be... the Fellowship of the Ring!" The cheese was running down my screen and pooling on the floor in a little sticky glob.<P>In tTT: Probably the Arwen/Aragorn thing... It just didn't seem right in the midst of all that darkness and near-death. Plus it went on for far too long.<P>And the worst scene to watch in a cinema filled with people is the tTT Gollum scene, when Smeagol and Gollum fight and the camera angles change. Everyone laughs at him so much. I just want to hit them with sharp pointy objects...

Although I love the Ents, sometimes I got so absorbed in the Helm's Deep story that the Ents being thrown in all the time made it seem ridiculous. But that was only a small thought, and a bad one! Bad! The Ents were great. They were just a little messed up. It started to seem a little too much like aliens in Star Wars.

i cant think of anything in fotr that i dont like. probably because i have seen it so many times.....<P>well in TTT i hate all of the Aragorn/Arwen scenes. they are pointless and cheesy as many of you have already said. and i dont like the part when Aragorn falls off the cliff. again a pointless scene. and it wasn't even in the book! that is what bugs me. there are parts in the movie that aren't in the book and some good parts in the book arent in the movie. though i can think of none at the moment...... i just rambled on without even knowing what i was exactly saying. i do that a lot...<P>-nevie

They should make a version of TTT with all the Arwen and Aragorn scenes deleted! (Im sorry that was harsh..)<P>FOTR-absolutely no bad scenes at all!<P>TTT-much the same as everyone else when Aragorn falls off the cliff etc.<P>Well theres my 5 cents!..or is it 3?

Worst scene in FotR was when the black rider comes out from behind the tree, but you don't see him riding up behind it. When the four hobbits are underneath the tree. The "Get off the road, quick" part.

My least favorite scene was when Galadriel was speaking to Frodo in her mind and she says "the one who has seen the eye!" It was creepy. When I read the book she was not like that at all and I think they over dramatized her character way too much.

The goofy "sing song" way Galadriel and Frodo talk right before he looks in her mirror. "What will I see?" Then whatever she says next. ick!

Personally I love the scenes with Arwen and Aragorn. True, they were not a part of the book but their love was. There was no real way to show their past in the movies or really how much they loved each other, so PJ fit it in in the form of flashbacks and dreams. I think it was well done.<P>The part with Legolas mounting up on that horse was indeed interesting to watch. I think with all the time and effort they put into the movie, they could have smoothed that out a bit more.<P>My least favorite thing would probably be the fact that Legolas did not ride elfstyle. The first thing he did when he was given Arod was remove saddle and bridle. They had Gandalf riding elflike on Shadowfax...why not do the same with Legolas? I saw that as easily overlooked.<P>As far as they all go though, I think they were masterfully done, with a few minor overlooks...but that's always expected in films. No one is perfect
