I haven't read any of the books so it was my first trip into the mysterious universe of Tolkien - and what a trip. Great scenery and GREAT visual effects (But God, I thought that Balzog (?) was scary). Incredible. As for the ending, I don't think it seemed too abrupt - as my father said (who hasn't read the books either): "They don't need to make any more movies". Not that he didn't like the movie, but he thought that the ending was good as it was. And I agree with that! But maybe I should read the books to become hungry for more?

(I guess Frodo will destroy the ring sooner or later - if it should follow the rules of a proper fairytale with a happy end

- but maybe I'm wrong?! )

happy ending?

Everyone who behaves in a noble manner gets a reward...though maybe not the reward he or she expected...

Now you will have to read the books..including the appendix...

I haven't read LOTR, although I do own the book-set, and plan to read them. I did read The Hobbit before seeing LOTR. I have to say, that's one of the best movies I've seen in YEARS! It ended a bit more abruptly than I'd expected, but I knew it would leave me "hangin'". I agree with the U2Patriot...it did what it was intended as a movie!! ***** Five Stars!

BabyGrace · 12-26-2001, 06:30 PM

excellent, excellent movie although I must say by the end I didnt think I could take too much more

so needless to say the ending pissed me off lol

and the dude who played Strider..Viggo Mortenson I believe...damn. I'll take him with or without hair thankyou

hes gorgeous!!

i havent yet read the books besides The Hobbit, but i certainly will now
now how to wait til next december

BabyGrace · 12-26-2001, 06:36 PM

I was gripped for the first two hours or so of the film and then it started to drag. Bit I haven't read the book so I didn't know what to expect. And what fantastic film making! The sets, effects and scenery are just out of this world. Ian Mckellan as Gandalf is great.

Have loved the books for years, so I was extremely excited by the news of the films! I loved it! Wow! It's best to take it as a companion to the books, I think.

Viggo *is* amazing. And Sean, and Ian. All of the acting is, actually! Perfect casting! But I absolutely love love *love* Elijah!

just a little bit of information - Hobit was a book for kids, while LOTR is much more dark and moody and serious - you should read it for it's a life-lasting experience. You will always go back to that book

Well, as I seem to be turning into the LOTR picture posting whore, I'll continue.

Can't forget our main man Elijah!

And how about Sir Ian as Gandalf? Definitely one of the highlights of my LOTR movie experience.

mad1 · 12-28-2001, 04:46 AM

Can someone put UnforgettableLemons head on the Bow Boys body?????

(would love to see Jason like dat!)

BTW if any of u taught Sean Bean looked scrummy yummy in LOTR, then go rent Ronin out and prepare to die, I know I did!

I was like

And yes Strider is a hot honkey tonkey too, but in real life the guy has a german look...........like that footballer Ginola......

very cute, imagine how the kitchen would look after a round with him!

SEAN BEAN!

Also get your hands on the Sharpe's series. He is absolutely wonderful in that. I never cared for him much before LOTR and Sharpe but now I fully understand why the Vicar of Dibley has a picture of him on her wall right next to her pic of Jesus.

What was especially wonderful about Sean Bean's portrayal of Boromir was that he actually managed to make you care for Boromir. I know lots of LOTR fans who absolutely hated Boromir from the book. They were amazed that they actually liked him in the film and even cried for him at the end.

Oh yes!! Thanks!

You know, I saw a picture of this guy (Orlando Bloom) with his real hair, which was not long and blond--it was dark and very very short. But he still looked great!

As for Gandalf, he is my favourite, and Ian McKellan was absolutely perfect. But for gorgeous pics, a few of the other characters win out.

Why does Sean Bean always play a real jerk?
i.e. LOTR, Ronin, and Patriot Games, he's never a nice guy
