I expect that everyone noticed that the morgul knife sublimes in the film whereas in the book it "melts." Either way, I'm sure you don't want to how how it tastes!

hey... shaber... huh?

I think both is cool, but, well, try to make it look melting and yet not look ridiculous in a film

it looked fine in the movie you can't have every detail exactly right.

Yeah, a more important detail changed was the manner of Sauron's demise. In Tolkein's version, the Elven and Numenorean royalties knocked him to the ground, dying in the attempt, leaving Isildur's way clear for cutting off the Ring. The film, for simplicity, makes it Isildur's moment only.

IMO Sauron should look different in the scene where he forges the Ring, to how he does in the showdown with Isildur. Sauron was always the most volatile Maiar shapewise, and since he forged the Ring he had been immersed in the abyss, forfeiting his "fair semblance."

I like Tolkien's version of this Ring-scene better than in the film.

But subliming imo looks better in a film than melting.

yeah to melt will be all gooey...........like wicked witch fom oz melting.

hey were in a age were evaporating is cooler..............lol get the pun....hehe

in what book does it tell of the battle and the forging of the ring? i cant find it in fotr

Even though it would be gooey, melting would be cool because it would give Aragorn a reason to take a bath, lol!

Yah lol


Battle and forging... A bit in the Shadow of the Past, the Council of Elrond, the Prologue and a lot in the Unfinished Tales.

Maybe though, it was more dramatic to sublime in a movie...

And Aragorn seemed to discard the hilt in the film, not that it seemed a great thing to carry around from Tolkein's account.
