What's wrong with LOTR?

I think that the reason for the elfs coming to helms deep is to show that men dont stand alone, remember, when Theoden and Aragorn were talking and Theoden said "We are not as lucky with friends as you". Ya and when the Rohiririum was running down to helms deep 1st of all the horses could not Gallop down a hill that steep and 2nd the first row of hoses would be killed by the spears that the Uruk-hi held. 1 other thing that i noticed was that when Aragorn fell off the cliff into the water then he would of sank down to the bottom of the river with all that armor he was wearing and sword. But other than that the books and the movie were great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 💃

you know wut i give up ok...you win wutever you were trying to proove i can't stand it any more, with all the opinion crap and putting ppl down shit. you know wut this forum is things that are wrong with LOTR not for agruements that have nothing to do with LOTR..ok? so if you want to proove your worthless point make up your own forum.

come on guys! kiss & make up😉 u are so busy fighting u have forgotten what u were discussing about the books & movies lol .so no more attacking people please!!! if u want to be angry, just be angry at Peter Jackson.he is the one who was responsible for changing things in the books, if it really bothers u

They can ride down a slope that steep because they are the Rohirrim, that's the point. And Gandalf's bright light meant the Uruk-Hai's spears were no longer in position to kill the horses.

But yes, people, please clam down. I utterly disagree about the comment on Tolkien's literature being the best myself- Tokien had a great imagination and attention to detial but he is far from the best author I have ever read and the books are of variable quality at different times. There is no uniformity of agreement- especially inside the literary community- of Tolkien being the best or even close.

tolkien the greatest author of all time? i would say so since he is my favorite but the is a highly personalized decision and i am sure that most people in literary comunities would strongly disagree. i think i prefer it because i dont know of any author that has the depth to their work. it is all one huge story he wrote over his entire life. i dont think any author has ever done that, but then again i am no literary scholar.

I never said that it was Tolkien fault hes awesome, and I didn't mean to upset that one person I was in a hurry to write something and missed the page they all began to argue, but anyways it can be very easy to make one little mistake in such big movies. And especially if PJ coulden't be at every set filming it.

One thing I can say I hate are the times in the books when the people burst out in song, because you have no idea what the beat or the tone or even the melody is! But then again it does give you an idea of the characters and they had nothing else to do so they might as well sing 😖hifty:

I know really! The songs usually were boring and some were sssssoooooooooo long it was crazy! 😖leep: And some of them really confused me and when it went back to the story, I was lost! 🤨

well in my version the songds and poems are printed in a different fond, and with white space all around them so I can skip them, as I do

In Smithy's post he states that the book gave no detail about the last battle. From this comment and his unappreciative attitude toward the books you can infer that he read the books because of what he saw on the big screen, hack and slash action. Well I'm sorry that is not what it's about it's much deeper than that. Not to say that violence is not a part of the story but if that's what you largely expected then you're reading the wrong book.
When I said he was inferior it was my opinion (which is what you are all saying should be respected) that because he was not at the level at which he could appreciate the books, I repeat APPRECIATE not LIKE, that he was in fact an inferior critic of Literature not an inferior person. I admit that I should have specified that before submitting the reply it would have avoided the misunderstanding.

I just wanted to thank the only person who didn't attack my opinion and understood what I was trying to say, so thank you [\/] PR3c!ou$.

Heg nobody attacked your opinion all we did was saying that you couldn't put it like that

your welcome heg..but in my opinion i thnk that fire has no right to tell you wut you should put down.or not to put down...it's basically all starting this opinion thing all over again....and this half of this reply is to appledaisy.....she should also comment on the remark [no offence fire] since she was the one that brought up the opinion thing. dont' you think....and aslo tell me appledaisy why didn't you write to this remark? fire is putting someone's opinion down isn't he [no offence again fire...but i'm just trying ot make my point to appledaisy....ya no since she was the one who brought up this no puttin down ppl's opinion thing] or appledaisy are you just so damn stupid to realize wuts happening. ppl bring other ppl's opinion down...ppl do this everyday goddamnit. ya well thats all i haf to say...and fire don't tell ppl wut they should rite[fire i'm not being mean to you...but i'm sorta making my point to appledaisy and you, no harm feelings, except to appledaisy]...appledaisy would understand wut i mean wouldn't she? and appledaisy I know this is old news but you should be reading it shouldn't you, your the one who's defending ppl from me and fire so that we don't put someone's opinon down...and so far the only person i haf put down is you?

the only problem i had with the movies was some of the things they left out but they couldn't put every thing in them cause some ppl would lose interest (not me though) i thought it was great when he slid on the shield and it wasnt to atract teenagers, what attracted teeage girls was legolas himself. (me...)and i thought the menu things was kinda weird but it to was great. you shouldnt critize it, i mean a movie is meant for your enjoyment.

I think that u have to alter wut happened in the book because it will draw abigger audience and that is all that its about-making money. If the movies went strictly by the book, then i think only the people that knew the books well would enjoy it.

they have only translated certain words for us to understand, I dounbt chinese ppl in chinese film would have spoken american, so what lotr is koooooooooool

my god.. i've been reading this thread i'm it's pathetic.. all i'm getting is stupid petty arguements.. i came to read stuff about lotr, not to read stupid fights!!!

i meant to write and and it's pathetic.. not thread i'm it's pathetic.. i really should proof read more often

i loved the movie!! sure i would've liked it to me more accurate towards the books but it was still entertaining
