I'm with Kazan - saw this puppy last night and IMO they did a good job on it - the only part I didn't like (and I know this was mean't to happen) was that it finished like... without warning. Oh well - great film in all other respects.

I'm still sad with all the left overs, but I reckon it's... mWAHAHAHAHA LOVELY!!!
If they had been able to put everything, it would have been legendary. If I had the money, I would go and see it again, and again, and even then maybe again.

Ah, girlfriends. Fine until they dump you for no apparent reason, nearly get you run over, get you arrested or any other thing that one of my ex-girlfriends has done  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)
 But then again, with me, I never learn from my mistakes. I always end up with another  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

Run over: Walking down the hill from school, holding hands and talking. All very nice until I make a joke, and she playfully pushes me. Into the middle of the road. Right in front of a bus coming down the hill. If it wasn't for my mate grabbing my bag and yanking me back onto the pavement, I wouldn't be here.
Arrested: Different G/F BTW. After seeing a cop car goes "Hold this for a second would you?" and runs off after off loading her pot tin on me. The cop car stops. I shove it in my pocket, but it still stinks. Cop gets out. ASks me for directions (They were temps brought in from Bath- I read about it later in a newspaper). As he's walking away goes "Can you smell something?". I just say "Sorry mate, must have been sommit I ate". Thank god for naive policemen!
 As for sadistic, quite possibly. I don't seem to have the best luck with them.
 To go back on topic however, how did they create th battle scene?

only thing I still wonder about, why the hell did they make Saruman responsible for what happen on the karadhras (sp?)??? I know a movie needs a bad guy, but really, saruman is turned from an anecdotic character (he becomes more important in The Two towers), to a character seen every 15 minutes... that's a bit too much for me. And as far as I know, he's not more powerul that Gandalf. Oh well.

Saruman was supposed to be a very slippery character who had great powers of persuasion.

He wasn't meant to have power over the "physical domain".

Sauron had powers like that because that was the group of gods he came from origionally (maiar of Aule to be exact)

Nobody knows much about saruman as tolkien never completed the entire work.  


------------------
have you ANY idea of how much trouble you're in?
assault on a police officer.
Theft of police property.
Illegal possesion of a firearm.
FIVE counts of attempted murder.
That comes to...

twenty-nine dollars and 14 cents.
cash, cheque or credit card?

Nope nope, Sauron wasn't a god, he was the first lieutenant of Morgoth, (but Morgoth was a god indeed). I don't remember where does Sauron comes from exactly.
hehe, in fact, nobody knows much about any magician  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif). Hmm, they trashed Radagast too, in the movie  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/frown.gif).
