[OFFICIAL] Return Of The King Thread

[Squeeky]

This thread is the official Return of The king thread. Let's try and limit it too one thread. I will start us off with a few rules.

1. Don't make other ROTK threads plz...
2. Be careful of spoilers, please make it so you have to scroll a certain distance if you wan't to include spoilers. And notify the reader of spoilers incoming.

I will start us off with the Rotten Tomatoes review. Anything above 80% on RT can be considered EXCELLENT! But 97%? That's unheard of.

[Hezzy]

It looks sweet. Someone said to me that the film has a different ending than the book. Is that true?

[Lonehunter]

Why don't we just leave out spoilers all together?

[Hamma]

Right, thats like telling trolls they cant troll anymore.

[Squeeky]

Spoilers are fine. I'd just rather have 1 huge ROTK thread instead of 5,000 like the matrix. Just make sure you mask your spoilers PLZ!

No offense but I doubt people are going to take your opinion of the movie and books into consideration.

[Searo]

Can't wait to see it!

Spoilers? The books have been out for 50 some years, I don't think you can spoil the story unless someone hasn't read them. (And in that case, they're a dumbass and movies should be ruined for them for all eternity)

The first one was awesome, the second was awesome ^2, and the third one looks amazing.

Try them again in a couple of years.

They are a bit slow, but in that slower style you Tolkien is able to deliver you a rich lanscape, and is able to effectively express the major theme of the trilogy.

If you do decide to give them a try again at some point, you might want to start out with the Hobbit, it is an easier read than the other three.

so how different was the book ending vs the movie ending??? how was the ring destroyed in the book?

[Tavin]

The in book it was destroyed in exactly that manner. Sheesh. I won't post a spoiler on it for anyone but, being the big JRR buff that I am-- I was pleased as punch with the last movie...

It was the only fucking one that stuck to the freakin' story line. Only thing missing was together with Grima Saruman fled to the Shire and set his orders there. He was known in the Shire under the name of Sharkley or Chief�s Big Man. In the Shire Saruman is presented like a content old man with sinister sparkling eyes. As Isengard was wiped off by the Ents, who in their turn were inspired by the hobbits to do that, Saruman as a revenge decided to destroy their holes. �And it will be pleasant to think of that and set it against my injuries,� � said he. Of course, when a group of hobbits led by Frodo appeared before Saruman, he realized his defeat. But, nevertheless, attempted to stab Frodo with a dagger, which just glanced off Frodo�s armour.

For his foul deeds Saruman got an awful death � Grima sprang on him and sliced his throat. Saruman�s spirit rose from his body like smoke from a fire, looked toward the West, and disappeared with the wind.

Sigh.

// ARWEN DID NOT SAVE FRODO IN THE SECOND BOOK! IT WAS GLORINFINDEL! STUPID DIRECTOR!! //

My only real rant.

[Kaltagesta]

Legolas + Ohliphaunt + Good Joke = Best. Scene. Ever.

It wasn't in the books, but it damn well should have been.

[Octavian]

Eine, do you want to die being one of the only people who has never seen all the movies and never read all the books?

1. Loved 2. Loved 3. Will see on the 26th.
