what does everyone think about the gimli in the movies? I am a bit dissapointed because he mostly just used as the comedic relief instead of the dwarf warrior. Yeah I know he fights a lot but If he were serious he would be so much cooler

I like the comic relief bit!! I know Gimli isn't as funny in hthe books, but he does have a sense of humor...I think PJ just wanted to add that so the movie would have some breathing gaps...and it wouldn't feel so intense all the time...Gimli does do some ass whoopin' though! I think we still have yet to see many interesting things from mr.Gimli!! (please log in to view the image)

yea...its the same concept as w/merry + pippin. they were kinda funny in the books, but in the movies they're like hilarious!!! i think PJ also made gimli funny to enhance his character. it also helps bring to life the ever growing bond between legolas + gimli

what about gollum? How do you think he looked? I had mixed opinions mainly because he looked too cartoonish for me, I liked how he looked in The Fellowship of the ring because his head was long and skinny not fat and wide. Nevertheless his acting was done PERFECTLY and he remains one of the best characters in book and movie history but I think if they had gone with the first version of gollum it could have turned out better.

Well, supposedly they did him different in TTT to give him a little more of a similar look to Andy Serkis, bcuz of the scenes we'r e going to be seeing also of Smeagol..... He was all just CG w out Andy when they created Gollum for FOTR....

The only thing I would have liked to see was Tom Bombadil! And Goldberry! That dude is crazy! I liked the fact that PJ went and threw out most of the Council of Elrond. In the book, that lasted like 40 pages!

Yeah...the council was sorta long!! Regarding Tom Bombadil, even tho he was cool.......PJ clarified his story still was irrelevant concerning the journey of the Ring...it really didn't mean anything.....just that he was immune to it's power I guess!!

Back to the books, what do you think is the best book? Personally I think the Hobbit is the best book because it is unbelievably well written 2nd book goes to FOTR, 3rd ROTK and 4th Tow Towers. Don't get me wrong about two towers I liked the movie a lot better than fellowship but as a book I like Fellowship better. I really love all of them and they go on the list of top ten books of all time... at least the story does.

I can’t really vote on any of the LoTR books, as Tolkien originally wrote them as one book. His publisher just thought that one book was too long, and asked Tolkien to break it up into three pieces. That’s why the endings of FoTR and TT are so abrupt.
I never really liked “The Hobbit” that much.

well if your editions are like mine each of the 3 books is split into 2 books themselves. my editions cut it off at the ford, lorien, just after helms deep, after sam realizes frodo is alive, then again somewhere in the middle of ROTK. but as far as how they were published, well i cant choose i love them all.

Yea we got the same books, I dunno I always think of it as one big book too but it helps to have them shorter I guess
