How dark can it get?
Some consider Fellowship of the Ring to be a dark-themed movie, but as everyone who has read the books know; it just gets darker and darker and the mood amongst the characters get more and more depressive.
now we've seen the trailer for TwoTowers, and it's pretty gloomy, si I have to wonder: will #3, The Return of the King, be taking sombre and dark movies to a new level? that would be really nice

LOTR never struck me as being THAT dark- it WAS a children's book after all.
Serious and atmospheric, yes. But not dark in the really evil sense.

Well, the Nazgul kept me and my mom jumping during the movie. Man, they are creepy...
I just reached ROTK, Book VI, Chapter IV, The Cormallen Field. I'm done with all of the dreary stuff. But, hey, it will get dark.

It's not that creepy. I'm in the 3rd book at Mount Doom chapter. And , i dunno....the walks are just too long. There are some boring partz. Anyway....i like it, especialy the nazgul sound....it's refreshing

The darkness
The darkness is a great atmospheric tool of the movie....
Without it a whole lot of extra dialogue would be necessary to impart to the viewers the nature of the impending doom. It lends an air of foreboding without having to dwell on the subject.
Just an opinion...

I would love to see how they deal with Sauron's darkening of the sun...I thought accidentally they would do it in TTT when Theoden says "the sun will not rise on the kingdom of man" but nah...they weren't referensing to it actually happening...lol
So man they better pull off RotK awesomely

LOTR was never written as a children's book at all. The Hobbit was. This can be identified through the use of the English Language - fairly simple in the Hobbit

i don't think it's dark too. pretty light compared to other movies actually. it's more like a fairy tale for the adults. good kick evil's butt, then a happy ending(in a way).

... the first two chapters of LoTR are still in the Hobbit-Style, but as soon as the Nazgul are mentioned the first time, it suddenly gets far darker.

yes, but i never go the impression it was too dark, after all some of the charcters, like hobbits, are so ligthearted, and there is a meaning in the story that is impossible to miss, that lifts even the darkest of spots, at least thats what happened to me when i read the books, tho some of the battles were a bit dark, the darkness served a definite purpose.
