Saw ROTK twice today. *faints*

[videoholic]

It doesn\'t show regular movies.  Matrix Revolutions was actually made for Imax.  They have it playing here in Tampa as well.

Well who knows cause they always have movies showing there but I never check that theater out, personally it could be a tiny ass theater as long as I\'m comfy I\'m good.  That one is across town compared to the others for me.

I just wanted every one to know that I saw LOTR: ROTK, and it was awesome.  This thing will achieve a hallowed place in my cinema list, if they can restore a couple of critical scenes in the extended edition.

BTW I thought I saw Akira Kurosawa swinging a samurai sword in the army of the dead.  

[§ôµÏG®ïñD]

i saw it boxing day (in vmax woo) Great movie, better then the first 2. Only thing that got on my nerves was all the bs talking sam does.   I\'ve heard they\'re gonna make the hobbit. Which would be great for a build up to lotr.

I wanted to see more about farmir, he had a really cool story but they cut most of it out from the last two movies.... is a shame...

Going to watch it today, at 13:00 to be precise.

I\'d hate to see it on opening night, all those dressed up freaks, cheering at every little scene in the movie.. Ugh. :shy:

Saw it a few days ago... and honestly, I didn\'t think it was all that great. I actually had a few yawns and a few moments with my eyes closed (it was an 11pm showing). The Two Towers was better imo.. The battles were nice and all, but I also watched The Last Samurai a day before...those sword fights were wayyyy better. I\'d rather see a few guys fight up close than like a million orcs/horsemen fight from a distance. that\'s my 2 cents..

1. Stand up halfway through the movie and yell loudly, "Wait... where the hell is Harry Potter?"

2. Block the entrance to the theater while screaming: "YOU SHALL NOT PASS!" - After the movie, say "Lucas could have done it better."

3. At some point during the movie, stand up and shout: "I must go! Middle Earth needs me!" and run and try to jump into the screen. After bouncing off, return quietly to your seat.

4. Play a drinking game where you have to take a sip every time someone says: "The Ring."

5. Point and laugh whenever someone dies.

6. Ask the nearest ring-nut if he thinks Gandalf went to Hogwarts

7. Finish off every one of Elrond\'s lines with "Mr. Anderson."

8. When Aragorn is crowned king, stand up and at the top of your lungs sing, "And I did it.... MY way...!"

9. At the end, complain that Gollum was offensive to Ethiopians

10. Talk like Gollum all through the movie. At the end, bite off someone\'s finger and fall down the stairs.

11. When Shelob appears, pinch the guy in front of you on the back of the neck.

12. Dress up as old ladies and reenact "The Battle of Helms Deep" Monty Python style.

13. When Denethor lights the fire, shout "Barbecue!"

14. Ask people around you who they think is the next "Terminator" sent from the Middle Earth of the future to assassinate Frodo Baggins

15. In TTT when the Ents decide to march to war, stand up and shout "RUN FOREST, RUN!"

16. Every time someone kills an Orc, yell: "That\'s what I\'m Tolkien about!" See how long it takes before you get kicked out of the theatre.

17. During a wide shot of a battle, inquire, "Where\'s Waldo?"

18. Talk loudly about how you heard that there is a single frame of a nude Elf hidden somewhere in the movie.

19. Start an Orc sing-a-long.

20. Come to the premiere dressed as Frankenfurter and wander around looking terribly confused.

OK, I finally went and saw LOTR last night.  Saw it in a nice 21 and older theater.  IT was awesome.  I haven\'t been to a movie where I didn\'t get pissed off from the audience in a long long time.  It cost a little more to go to this theater, but you can drink, they have awesome leather seats..  It\'s just plain better.

OK, now for my questions about the movie.

[sp]WHere in the hell do the eagles come from?  Were they mentioned before?  It\'s like TOlkin wrote himself into a hole and then said to himself, "What if a big bird swooped in and saved the day"[/sp]

Question #2
[sp] Wasn\'t it a bit too easy for Samwise to resuce Frodo?  I knocked 3 orcs off the stairs and then one up in the room and he was done.  Was something cut out?[/sp]

and Question #3
[sp]The boat  at the end.  Was this suppose to be a final journey for those have worn the ring?  I didn\'t really get it.[/sp]

I\'ve seen it weeks ago. Imo better than # 2, a bit less than # 1.
My crit. :
- up until 3/4 of the movie Frodo remains a too flat character.
- the ending was too long winded and too sweet \'n rosy imo.

Still, a nice movie :thepimp:

The last ten minutes dragged in my opinion too, but I guess there were just a lot of loose ends to wrap up.

eh, I thought it was alright, better than the 2nd one.

I swear in the second one they literally walked for 45 minutes, yes walked and they carried a boring conversation the whole time.

[Living-In-Clip]

First, the "big birds" are from LOTR:FOTR - they saved Gandalf after his fight with the Barlog and took him to get healed. In the book they are used more often also.


The boat journey was to the undying lands. For those who had carried the weight of the ring and was nolonger the same. Just as when Frodo said "some hurts never heal" - he was talking about the Witch King stab that still, once a year pains him.

As for the ending, you are looking at it all wrong. Remember, that the books was written as one huge book and the publisher decided to split them up. So, the movie\'s was made as three movie\'s, but one huge story. Do you want a two mintue ending for these characters that you\'ve invested so much time into? No. The ending was just right in my opinion.

I also remember the Eagles reading The Hobbit. When they were stuck in the trees and those wolves were beneath them the Eagles came and rescued them. Apparently they\'re cool with Gandalf.

I figured the eagles had something to do with the first movie.  I had just watched TT, so I didn\'t think it was in there.

That\'s exactly what I thought the boat was for at the end.  That\'s what I told my honey anyway.  Can\'t believe I was right.

Did anyone actually watch all of the credits?
