I'm really afraid that their going to cut out the part where the hobbits go back and free the Shire, but if they don't the movie is gonna be five hours long. :s :/

Well, first of all i'm goin to LOVE lotr, because rotk will probably be one of the best movies that i've ever seen, in fact i know that it will be...
1. The war in the shire.... has been CUT... that ticks me off, because i was looking forward to it so much... but i understand that.
2. Along with that Saruman's death will be so much different but that goes with the shire since sarumans death is in the shire...
3. I'm not going to like watching Aragorn and Arwen get married, but hey i don't like the actress or the character, so you can't blame me, and it's my opinion, so people please don't tell me how wrong i am and blah blah blah i know i know your opinion, so yeah...
Other than that this movie will be awesome... espically the crowning of Aragorn... and the action scenes, and yum... *drools*
well i am very affraid of where the army of the dead is going to be used. i hope that they do it like the book, but it seems like everything is pointing to them being on the pelenor fields.

He passed over Dor-nu-Fauglith like a wind amid the dust, and all that beheld his onset fled in amaze, thinking that Oromë himself was come: for a great madness of rage was upon him, so that his eyes shone like the eyes of the Valar.
i already know the shire part's been kicked off the agenda (which sucks) and i honestly can't say i'm looking forward to RotK as much as I was the other two. PJ's a good director but he's taking too much liberty with the story. i am interested in seeing how saruman dies though. it's still gonna be a great movie!

Well I CAN'T WAIT FOR ROTK!!!! but everyone's gotta understand, there is NO conceivalbe way to completely adapt a novel to a film: It just can't be done, and you know those hollywood guys haven't read the books and could care less about preserving the story, but hey, we all have read it and APPRECIATE the story, and THATs what counts, right?
Yeah, that's the stuff I'm not looking forward to seeing. Well, at least we know they kept the Mouth of Sauron, so Jackson didn't screw that up.... let's see, his blunder in saying that Sauron is formless (written all over the official site)... hmm... Sauron has a form throughout the books. It's simply that he's clever and doesn't walk into battle, instead lets people fight each other... weaken each other, and stays hidden in his tower until his plans come to fruition. Now look back at the films and see what's been screwed up about that so far...
Yup, me too, i hope that they do other movies on Tolkien's work... such as THE HOBBIT!! Why didn't they start with that? Just my opinion, well they should do a movie on it, because i don't want to keep watchin a cartoon!
Alot of changes PJ made pissed me off, and while I do understand it's impossible to transform a novel into a movie without changes, I think alot of them were done needlessly and/or badly (I think a long series, perhaps on TV, could have done it loyal to the book, and I would have enjoyed much more.)
However, the whole Shire thing at the end is a must-cut (for PJ's adaption,) even die-hards would be bored to tears at that point. There's no way around it. I have no qualms with that.
I feel like saying that I do think at least the casting and characters were done excellently (for the most part,) but I don't like the portrayal of Merry and Pippin, especially at the beginning. And things either should be cut or uncut...like Bill the Pony, he was obviously not with them then all of a sudden he was there for a second in a very awkward attempt to stay loyal to the book. Either do it or don't. But now i'm starting something I shouldn't.
