Hey whatever they do not put in the movies is most likely gonna be in the MASSIve DVD boxset being released next year so i not worry bout what they left out.
and all this talk bout Merry and Pippin not being serious enough is uncalled for......in the movie they ended before the transformation of their characters....... Pippin gets 'serious' after "the palantir' chapter.......which they did not reach in the movie and for Merry, his character also takes charge of its own about the same time ad pip.
and they were not that comical, u could see a change when they "tricked" treebeard to pass near to Isenguard.
Argh i guess people like to whine and complain enough
AGAIN i say be glad PJ had the balls to make this movie and its a DAMN GREAT one too !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree with you on several points.
*There's a good chance some things will be in the DVD's
*Merry and Pippin's serious transformation has yet to take place
*The Lord of the Rings movies are great the way they are
*Peter jackson did have the guts to make the movie and I respect that
*People like to whine and complain; a universal fact
The most promonant dissapointment in my mind is the lack of the scouring of the shire. as i've said many times before, ever since I read that I have been looking forward to seeing it so much that when I found out they weren't going to have it, I was utterly let down. However, I do agree with Peter Jackson when he said that it just didn't make a good end to the movie, and I respect his decision. However, that still doesn't dismiss my total and utter dissapointment about them not having it. And the fact is, they didn't evenm film it, so they can't put something in an extended version or alternAte ending that they never filmed in the first place, now can they?

Maby someone has wroten this before (I have no time to read so much) but all of you noticed on thing that Elves shouldn't be in Helm's Deep ! I wonder why Peter Jackson did that
Yeah, it wasn't supposed to be like that, but it's not a big issue because people here (including me) liked that.

OMG that bit with the leves was great.....i dont know how PJ knew that audiences would have loved the elves but i think that most people would have found it nearly impossible for the men at Helm's deep to survive till morning ON THEIR OWN.
But since everyone knew elves could kick a$$, putting the elves in Helm's deep made they're chances OF LIVING more beleivable.
AND COMEON WHO DIDN't LOVe the Shower of Arrows the elves let out from behind the wall ???????!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Frodo: I cant do this, Sam.
Sam: I know. Its all wrong. By rights we shouldnt be here...but we are. Its like in the great srories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of Darkness andanger, they were, and sometimes you didnt want to know the end because how could the end be happy. How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad happened... but in the end its only a passing thing. The Shadow even darkness will pass. A new day WILL come. And when the sun shines it will shine out clearer. Those are the stories that stay with you and meant something. Even if you were too small to understand why. But, I think, Mr. Frodo, i do understand... iknow now. Folk in those stories have a lot of chances to turn back, but they didnt. They kept going because they were holding on to something!
FRODO: What are we holding onto, Sam?
Sam: That theres some good in this world, Mr Frodo and its worth fighting for.
Well, I am happy that they made the Lord of the Rings into movies, yes, but it's in people's nature to want more than they have, and I want more than PJ's giving. I know it's more than arrogant than to assume that a movie will be perfectly fitted to your own expectations, but it's not something I can control to want that. Wouldn't you want a movie to be exactly the way you'd like it? Of course I'm not expecting to have it perfect, nor am I expecting my complaints to make it happen, I'm just saying. Isn't this messageboard made for people to talk about The Lord of the Rings movie?

Any portrayals you have gathered from Faramir in the film is going to be cleared up in the Extended Edition. It will show you why he is like he is in the film.
Also as someone has already mentioned, Merry & Pippin's seriousness has only just started to be uncovered - just as it did in the book. I definately know that their roles will be prominent in Return of the King as it is in the book, and I have faith in both Billy & Dominic pulling off a terrific performance.
But let me also say this:
The Battle of Pelennor Fields
This is going to be the single most amazing battle ever to put on screen - I just know it. Think of it:
200,000 Orcs, Nazgul (incl. Witch King), Trolls.
The whole army of men, the army of the dead who are gonna arrive on Ghost Ships - OH YES! It's gonna be so amazing to see it finally come to life.
As for the scouring of the Shire, it definately isn't neccessary for the film or for the audience on a whole. But I have heard they are putting the Grey Havens in there so we are gonna get to see them aged a bit
Well, the grey havens bit is good, but one thing: You said that the army of the dead would be arriving on the ships, but that didn't happen in the book. Aragorn dismissed the army of the dead before getting on the ships in the book, so was this a mistake on your part or is the army of the dead going to come on the ships to Minis Tirith in the movie?
