pj edited lotr that hard that it will be a joy (it is anyway) to watch the extended edition. i think it will be better than the ttt-ee.
some of the most heroic (and romantic) scenes were missing.
so in the ee there will be a scene, when aragorn is in the houses of healing and rescues eowyn and faramir.
(...rescues... is that right? or ...heals...??)
bad kitty, i totally agree... the houses of healing was an uberimportant part, in my opinion, i wish a guy would chase after me like that... I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE EE OF ROTK!!!!! well on the bright side, when eowyn and faramir are standing next to each other, the do look at each other and she gives him a loveish look, did anyone else notice that?

Precisely. You kinda feel like you only get to see half the movie in the cinemas. Somehow, somewhere deep in my soul I feel ripped off.
And in a couple of years Peter Jackon is probably going to do a special directors cut box-set with 5 hours for each part of the trilogy.
well Tolkien his ending of LOTR is even longer, it wouldn't have done much justice to the book to give the movie a very fast ending
also I heard from certain not-read-the-book fans that the movie was already complex enough, I think adding the house of healing, with aragorn as the healing king and all that stuff would only make it more confusing
after all this was a movie for the big public, that always matters
i disagree, it's more confusing to have arwen scenes, ppl would be wondering why she was dying. you guys keep saying the story should have romance and this is one juicy romance. and i think peter jackson didn't do justice to eowyn. the impact she should have when she kills the witchking is just not there in the movie, maybe because he reveals her too soon.
and then to just skip it to the corenation of aragorn to show that she and faramir had developed a relationship is just not enough.
and then he spent a lot of time trying to show what a sacrafice it would be for arwen to give up imortality, it seems to me to go overboard.
and merry's relationship with theoden too is not very clear. a scene in the night with them talking would have been good. instead of one with eomer making fun of him.
Hey, Hey, Eomer didn't make fun of Merry- he was inwordly concerned.
But, anyhoo, the missing important scenes are going to be in the Extended Edition. 😉 don't worry people. PJ prolly has the Faramir and Eowyn scene, and *if we're lucky* an extended killing of the witch king. that would be cool.... but, PJ didn't write the the whole script- he just did his best with what he had, when they took out things or embellished certain charecters *Arwen* they were just trying to make it so the general public would like it. not everyone likes LOTR- sadly. I for one, think that the films were done better than anyone could have done them- PJ once said that someone who did LOTR would have to have a very good understanding of special effects- if a directer who did everything special effects-- it would look so fake! I'm happy that everything looked real, things freaked me out, made me cry, and made me happy. 🙂
ps. it IS a big thing to lose immortality. she was giving up her *life's grace* to Aargorn-------for love. thats a huge sacrafice. it doesn't sound like it but she was holding her immortal beauty and her immortal love in both hands, diciding which to give up.
pps. Eowyn did spend most of her time having a crush on Aargorn- but it didn't make her appear stupid or anything- it made her appear---human. like she had feelings, crushes--- she felt a cage, and Aargorn basically said hey, if you feel a cage, break out of it- fight it. that deserves love- even if she overdid it.
Eowyn is such a great character! I hate Arwen.......n everything about her.............Liv is nice but i dont like both of them. In the book Eowyn and Faramir have a huge romance scene but the movie leaves them out. Instead they put a huge part with Aragon and Arwen even though Arwen barely comes out in the book.
Yes, I can't wait till it's in the EE, cause i had to explain to my friends at the end when you see Eyown and Faramir "oh, they get married" it was weird...and Merry doens't go to the last battle, but oh well..SPOILER BELOW
They didn't show Eomer finding Theoden, it's like "oh, he died" and then you totally forget about him!! I dind't like that part....the scene was even in a trailor, grr....oh well, EE!!! "_"
