They say it'll have the biggest battle sequences ever in the history of film making.

Shawn, let me know when you wanna see it, so we can snuggle happy:

The second movie imo wasnt as good as the first, in fact it sucked except for the part when the trees attacked the white wizard. I haven't read the books, so I don't know how the third one ends or what to expect. All I know is that there is supposed to be some great battle going on, but thats what everyone said about the two towers, and that siege was horrible. It was completely ruined with Legolas and Gimli getting their fag on during the battle, while at the same time, the director tried to infix the impression that the soldiers were in a state of grave morale. I don't see how these two characters could deteriorate from expert fighters to jackasses who shout out kills, and slide down the stairs on a shield to shoot 3 or 4 orcs. Plus, if Legolas is an expert archer, which was shown in the first movie, how come he couldn't kill a single orc when the critical moment occured? I am pretty skeptical about this film because of the huge let down ratio of movie series in general.

"getting their fag on" , oh man you killed me there happy: that is in the book, they have a "gentlemens contest" while fighting...to see who can kill the most orc.

i really recommend you read the books. they are really engrossing. plus if you read them maybe you will become more learned and find out what engrossing means. jk biggrin:

OK, not to sound too nerdy here, but what the hell. Sliding down that shield, not to hard for an elf seeing as they have superhuman abilities in sight, hearing, strength and agility. You see it all the time. Like when Legolas was on the hill shooting those wolfs from ages away, he then grabbed the horse from the other side and used one arm to fling himself on top. Do you see a pattern here? He also pulled both Aragorn and Gimli to the top of the wall singlehandedly.

Also, the orc he was shooting at was a beserker uruk hai, this is never really mentioned in the movie or the book, but they are a beserker type. You can see because they have no armour on as it restricts their speed and movement, only a tough cunt would do that.

Hope that clears a few things up.

IMO Helm's Deep is an amazing battle scene.

Yeah Legolas was pretty handy with his bow, but WTF is the point of sliding down on a shield to shoot 3 orcs, when he could have just as easily shot at them from the walls. Maybe if he was on the wall, the other elf wouldn't have died. That whole stunt was just eye candy for some fag who is all into his Xtreme hardassness. Thats BS about the Urak Hai, though. I have a fucking Fiery flame arcane magic fuckin bow with like +35 orc and repels fairy's, elfs, dwarfs, and the toughest cunt urak hai, and I know I could have taken his ass out. Legolas just fucked that one up because he was wearing that gay ass blonde cant-aim-for-shit hair hat with -20 points of dexterity and +10 chance of blowing a critical shot.

Who has read the triology. Does it make any difference when watching the movie? Are the books worth reading?

Tystnad · 12-14-2003, 06:56 AM

Yes, the books are well worth reading..
So many things that have been left out in the movies, like Tom Bombadil for starters.. hake:

Storm - Nazgûl - · 12-14-2003, 07:50 AM

WARNING, THIS MIGHT RUIN A BIT OF THE MOVIE FOR YOU!

i dont want to be the bitch, but is 'The cleaning of the Shire' going to be in the movie or in a new one?

Thank God Bombadil was left out. That guy is a fucking poofter.

And the reason Legolas sped down the stairs on the shield wasn't for eye candy, it was to rescue Gimli. Sliding down is way more fun. Although I admit it must have been done for the effect rather than practical reasons.

It's like asking "whenever a good guy is about to shoot the bad guyin a movie, he always cocks his gun, he has already cocked the gun, but that sound is cool. That's why he does it."
