pffft...PM me if you want more of an explanation, this thread is supposed to for LOTR fans, remember

[Setekh]

Oh man... I really shouldn't be reading this thread, should I? I have some two weeks to wait.

[NeoHunter]

Here's a short spolier then.

The heroes all survived.

[Dark_4ce]

Not all...

[Singh]

You mean they survived? No twists? nothing unexpected??

Darn......

[Singh]

On another note, I was offered by my cousin to go see LOTR: ROTK, but I declined it. Should i have gone? Not sure if it is worth seeing, not to mention I havent seen the previous 2 stories or seen the books.

[karajorma]

If you haven't seen the other two I wouldn't bother. You won't get the story.

[Fineus]

I don't know... the synopsis isn't that hard:

1 Ring.
Bad guys want ring.
Good guys want to destroy ring - must go to bad guys home land to do this.
Assorted good vs bad wars will go down.

I'm sure you can pick up who fits where fairly promptly.

Have you not been reading this thread? Hell even mikhael liked it, and he hates everything.

Admitedly you won't get the full benefit if you don't watch the whle thing all the way through. The idea is that you're going on the journey with these guys, and just seeing the last one won't have you as attatched to the characters.

Well nothing major other than:



SPOILERS UNLESS YOU'VE READ LOTR:
Sauron is Frodo's father.

[Knight Templar]

Then Sauron and Bilbo are brothers?

That this movie was made and made well and didn't suck ass is proof that God exists, that He loves us, and that He wants us to be happy.

Okay, maybe not, but its still ass kicking enough that my wife who hates sword and sorcery, hates war movies and hates over the top special effects LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF IT.

As for me, well, I was right there reciting the poems along with the characters under my breath and cheered like a banshee when the Witch King of Angmar got his comeuppance.

And afterwards, I went on to explain to my wife who Manwe and Aule and Mandos and Morgoth and the rest were and why Sauron needed the ring so badly. And my wife who hates this stuff and especially hates me explaining backstory, she loved it all. She especially loved the history and the end of the time of the Elves.

One of the reasons I dont like it is because of my Bias against that entire genre. Until i adapt to it from my sci-fi addiction, I'm afriad i'll end up saying that it sucks, so

[karajorma]

LotR is one of the few fantasy films that trancends the genre. You don't have to be a fan of fantasy to enjoy it.

Just like many people who aren't sci-fi fans like Star Wars or many non-western fans like The Magnificent Seven.

[Singh]

hmmm.....really?
I'll see if i cant find one of the original movies first then......assuming I can muster up the will to go and watch this instead of writing.

[NeoHunter]

Go watch it. Its worth every buck.
