I personally loved them all. Each movie has it's own merits.
Fellowship of the Ring:
-Captured the beauty of the Elves and their land.
-Gandalf the Grey was more charming on this one.
-The whole movie had a more feeling of 'warmth' to it; with the Shire and everything.
-The Fellowship was still intact for a good portion of the movie.
-We saw Sauron in this movie.
-Boromir
The Two Towers:
-Aragorns funeral scene as envisioned by Elrond was awesome.
-Ents kicks major @r$e!
-Haldirs death...tragic.
-Uruk-Hai's battle strategy was great; the first ladders, the bombs, the tower ladders, berserkers. Also, i think the battle scene in TTT was more in-your-face type of battle.
-Gollums monologue!
-Nothing can beat the first scene with Gandalf vs the Balrog. What a way to start a movie.
Return of the King:
-More than any of the three movies, this movie has the most 'fantasy' scenes in it.
-Witch King vs Eowyn fight scene.
-The biggest *&%$@ battle scene you will ever see in a movie!
-Shelob
-Most emotional of the three, and with the most buildup.
-Biggest movie conclusion; and one that did not dissapoint, I might add.
I didn't like how Haldir died.
I didn't like how the Elves helped out at Helm's Deep.
I don't like no Elladan, Elrohir, Imrahil, and several others.
I didn't like Arwen being the bearer of Frodo over the Bruinen.
I didn't like no Saruman in RotK.
I liked Pelennor Fields, but not the Black Gate: No Mouth, no Elves, no Imrahil.
I don't like how Sauron became just a big eye ontop of Barad-dur, when in the book he actually had a shape, and the Red Eye was there, but was used more often as a figure of speech.
I didn't like no bombadil, or Goldberry.
Shit, I'm pissed at how much they missed, or, as Jackson would say "didn't show".
I don't like anybody else using my avatar!
Oh well. You sure don't like a lot of things, do you?
People said a lot of things they didn't like about the movie when it was shown in theaters; but what they didn't realize is that there was a whole bunch of great things that Peter and his crew did for LOTR that they could easily have f*&@#d up (Just look at Anne Rice's - Queen of the Damned. What a shame).
Just to site one example is casting. I could go-on-and-on on how they could have easily screwed this up. But instead, they got it perfect! Can you name any other movie with this great casting?
Oops! Got side-tracked here. Moving along.... I loved all three.
THEY SCREWED QOTD SOOOO BADLY!!THE WHOLE LEGEND OF THE TWINS WAS LEFT OUT IN THE 1ST PLACE!!!!
i've a feeling you and i are gonna get alon very well m'dear
plus...there's only so much you can bring forward in movies no matter how great they are and how much technology you hv i guess...not every1 can be pleased
