So I saw Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers

[ghettodude]

actually i saw it twice today... cause i work at the theater..

anyhoo... i thought it was amazing... of course there were some little things they added in and alot of stuff they couldnt fit in that were in the book... but it was done great.. i suppose it starts to let you get bored a few times during the movie... but within like 5 minutes something really cool happens and it just grabs you right back into the movie...

let me just say... helms deep was WICKED... and the way that battle ends almost made me cry with happiness.. hehe.. it was wicked... but u know.. it seems like the movie just starts to REALLY get good when it ends... and i guess thats peter jacksons cruel way of making us go insane for another year until The Return of the King....

all i gotta say is that better live up to the expectations... cause this one just leaves you wanting to see more..

[Happydude]

i'm probably gonna go see it this weekend...

and what theatre do you work at? is the Silver City on Yonge in Richmond Hill?

[GameKinG]

Sounds good. Must.see.

[Xantar]

So I saw ghettodude recently...

It's been a long, long while.

Anyway, with any luck, I'll be seeing that movie today. :D

[Angrist]

Tomorrow night...:D

[ghettodude]

if theres one thing about the movie i didnt like.. it was that sense of incompleteness... like after the most amazing things you see in the movie... you still feel like u wanted more... its like satisfying and unsatisfying at the same time....

silvercity yorkdale
hey xantar..

[Dyne]

Sounds good. I'm probably going on my birthday, if we can break away from the game convention. :D

[ominub]

me jonbo and steve are going to see it today

[Professor S]

I got tickets for this last week. Its going to break all single weekend ticket sales I think. Last week 77% of all ticket sales on Fandango.com were for The Two Towers, and thats a record for the site.

Speaking of The Two Towers, is anyone already itching to see the extended DVD???? I loved the Fellowship extended version as they added more to Hobbiton, Lothlorien and just about every fight scene in the movie (Legolas and Gimli kick A$$ in the extended version). From what I understand they have a lot planned for the extended version of The Two Towers. I can't wait!!

[Crono]

I'm going to be seeing it this friday

[Joeiss]

I'll probably see it on Friday... or maybe tomorrow.

Im gonna try and get into LOTR this weekend but its prolly gonna be sold out n stuff tho :unsure:

[DeathsHand]

I saw it today too, and it was quite good! I've heard people say it's better than the first, but I dunno about that... but who the hell cares, it's still a great mov-way (^_^

Then when the movie got out a ton of teenagers and stuff were lined up outside and I was like "HAHAHA I GOT TO SEE IT WHILE YOU WERE IN SCHOOL AND ALL I DID WAS WALTZ IN AND YOU HAVE TO STAND THERE LOOKING LIKE MORONS MUWAHAHAHA"...

Ok I didn't really say that but still...

I don't feel like saying anything else... Just listen to ghettodude...

<3

[Destro]

Yeah, I might have to see that some time. If it's anything like the last one, I'll be bored as hell in the theatre. I'd say that Peter Jackson could've cut a few hours out of Fellowship. What a stinker :fart:

Agreed...

Whats this? Im agreeing with a Newbie?

...

Well, I guess it wasnt THAT bad, but I cant say I enjoyed my 3 hours in the theatre...We shall see about this second one.

[Destro]

I am no "Newbie" (Why you capitalized that, I will never know). I was once the respectable Doctor Zhivago. And besides, what does my supposedly being new to a stupid video game-related web forum have to do with my taste in movies? Are you really that dumb? Ooops, no flamin'! What I meant to say is that I love and you are my main homie. us---> :beerchug:

Bah... I don't need to see a movie with my friends... I like going to the movies by myself... you don't have someone nudging your arm all the time to make a stupid comment... :sneaky:

Besides, with the Fellowship of the Ring, I saw it the day it came out, then that Friday I saw it again with my FRIENDS...

But I won't do that this time since on Friday I'm going to a concert/show thing with my FRIENDS...

And why does it seem like nobody reads the later pages in that topic where I saw screw it I hate you all and I'll torture you further with my presence?

once again, you manage to somehow sneak in info about your personal life with your friends and then pretend that you didn't wanna talk about it

brilliant.

as for me, I'll either go with my lady friend or I might go with my sister who just got back from University for the Holidays

*edit* if you didn't leave then why did you make the attention whore-like 'it's been fun' thread? ;) jk, I still love you DH :roll:

I talked about friends and what I was doing on Friday... that's not a lot... and how did I pretend I didn't want to talk about it?

And I made the bye bye thread because I was a moron and in a very bad mood and then the next day I was like "What was I thinking, I'm a moron"

.... (^_^

Now back to Lord of the Rings -.- GOLLUM IS TEH SEXY!

[Jonbo298]

I loved LotR:TT! This is a very minor spoiler*******************


After seeing it, I will never look at trees the same again;):D:errr:

[ominub]

just got done watching it and it is a must see movie

[GameMaster]

Going to see it Friday or Saturday...

How come it's 2 hours and 59 minutes? Wouldn't one more minute of combat packed, heart-wrenching, tear jerking action been okay?

By the way, in the paper here, it got an A-!

[ghettodude]

geez u know what REALLY makes that movie though? the camera work... the angles and the pans and the way they capture the scene so perfectly is where it really shines... you will see when watching helms deep.. that scene was so amazing....

and yea.. deathshand does have friends..

.......

ThInK about it...

[Shiz]

deaths hand u got shot down by stu

[Dragon-Fly]

I find it better than the first. More action, especially the war. I loved the action in this movie.
Out of 10, i give this movie 9.8/10.
The first movie i gave it 9.2/10

Anyway, I saw the movie last night and it is one of the best movies I've ever seen, hands down. I really liked Fellowship, and I can honestly say that the Two Towers is the much better film. The battle of Helm's Deep will go down in history as one of the greatest battles on film, ever. I also loved how this second intallment in the Trilogy has more of everything than the first. More emotion, more humour, more action, more violence (definately NOT overdone, though), and more things took place. I loved some of the new characters such as Gollum and especially the TREES. I also love how characters like Gimli and Legolas were much larger parts of the movie than in Fellowship. I can now truly say that they are great characters. And is there much to say about Aragorn? He's the man. Also, the story progressed so well on the screen that I payed strict attention to the film for the full 2 hours and 59 minutes. That says a lot. The movie is an instant classic, and carries my 'film of the year' honor and runs with it since surpassing Minority Report. And the trees own us. That is all.

[Angrist]

SPOILERS!!!


I saw it too yesterday night. I didn't know what to ecpect from it.
I loved TFotR (seen it 7 times) and I love the book.

I went with a (female) friend that's also Tolkien-fan.
We enjoyed it, it was good. Not better than TFotR, just different.
Gollum was great!! Man he was good! :D Just like in the book!

The worst thing of the movie was the Ents. I mean, they were kinda good, but not half as cool as in the book. Especially the eyes... I mean, YELLOW EYES?? :rolleyes:

Helm's Deep was cool, just too bad that they changed the already perfect story of the book. 10.000 Uruks vs 300 weak old men and boys just isn't cool. And Elves in Helms Deep?? :rolleyes: Come on, the Last Alliance of Elves and Men wasn't called that for nothing! They just needed someone important to die... :unsure:

The movie lacked the story from part one.

And it sucks that Faramir was evil. In the book, he just let's them go from the start. So they don't go into Osgiliath and stuff.

Oh yeah, the Dead Marshes were... not creepy enough. In the book, I was scared to death (hey, I was 15)! Here it was... meh.


I don't say the movie is bad, but I still have to accept some changes from the book. After that it'll be great. :)

The movie was pretty good. I saw it with my friend today.

Words cannot describe how much I agree with your post. From the fact that it's better than the already, more than great Fellowship of the Rings, to the other fact that it eclipses one of the other great films, Minority Reports. If there was only one complaint I could possiby think of (and it can't even be classed as one), is that the film could have been longer :D.

I have a feeling that this trilogy of films will be the best in history.

[DarkMaster]

i just got back from seeing the movie. i thought it was damn good. best movie i've seen all year. not once did i feel bored or uninterested, it was just a joy to watch. the cinematography was absolutely stunning, beautiful lighting and perfect camera angles. computer graphics were some of the best i've ever seen, especially Gollum who was brilliantly acted. not to mention, the Ents were damn crazy! deffinitely worth the 3 hours, i hope they make an extended DVD version. and the final battle at Helms Deep was unbelieveable. never have i seen a battle so big and so amazing, that alone is worth watching the movie.

[Crono]

I saw Two Towers today. The best movie I've seen all year. And I'll be there next december to see Return Of The King. :)

[Jason1]

I saw it today...

My friends, all of Gametavern, and the rest of the world: IT WAS THE UBEREST COOLEST MOVIE EVAH! BEST TRILIOGY IN HISTORAH! I GIVE IT A 9.8! IT SHOULD'VE BEEN LONGER! BEST FIGHT SCENE EVAH!

Me: Meh...it was alright...like the first one...just alright...nothing more, nothing less

*sees everyone coming at him with swords*

*runs away*

[Null]

so far, 2 of the best movies i ever seen.

the 2nd i liked better then the first overall. but there were parts from both i liked better.

from what i hear. the 3rd is going to be spectacular......... the dood who plays Frodo was on Regis last week (hey, im at work, tv was on. :D) He said it all comes to an end in the third.... In dramatic Fashion. Said he's seen parts of it. and cant help but cry when he sees them.

mesa cant wait for next december. =)

[ghettodude]

i nearly cried in this movie...

at the end of that battle.. JESUS CHRIST.. *spoiler* just seeing gandalf arrive there... with... BAH and as they rode down that mountain .... the music is just so.. amazingly fitting... and the visuals just ... it all comes together..

and ive read the third book and im just saying that if this was helms deep... and this was THAT amazing.. then the battles in the final book will be COMPLETELY OUT OF THIS WORLD.... like... helms deep is nothing compared to what goes on in the third book..

as to what that guy said about the ents being gay was wrong.. the ents were wicked.. and what he said about helms deep was wrong too... it was a wicked battle and when the elves arrived i thought it was amazing... all those arrows... if anything the elves are the coolest characters in the story... IMO at least..

but yea we all know it was awesome and we all know we are gonna die waiting a year for the next one...

oh well..

[Null]

gollem owns you. :P


and yea. i agree with you. There very few movies like this these days..... the movies that get you so into them. that......


*spoiler*


When you see gandalf at the top of the hill. and riding down with all the men. or when the elves arrive at hellms deep to fight along side the men..... you feel your self rooting for them. like, "Hell yea! kick some orc ass you guys!!!!"


.......


i wish there were more movies that give you such feelings.

Wow, this Me character is alright. I'd have to agree. I saw the movie today and I wasn't all that impressed. Like I've said before, Dead Alive is, like, so much better. And Jason1, the next time you see me running at you with a sword, don't be frightened, I'm only doing it cause BLueFire told me to.

[Angrist]

Yeah I'm sure that TRotK will be the best of the 3. I mean it has the ending, and the endig is uber. The battles are even bigger (MUCH bigger) with not just one fort under siege but a whole city. There are also a lot more different races in those wars so that should be very heftig.

After 2 days thinking about it, I really like TTT better than when I just saw it. Like I said, I had to get used to it.

But still Ghettodude, I think the Ents could have been so much cooler if they were pictured like in the book. Like ancient powers, wise, slow to anger... but WHEN they're angry... :eek: :D
Yellow eyes suck. :p

I really liked how Legolas jumped on the horse! :D:D:D GO LEGOLAS!!! :roll:

Gollum to Sam: "Nice Hobbit :)" GREAT! :D

[DarkMaster]

Gollum to Sam: "fat stupid hobbit" :)

[Null]

was better when gollum was singing his song and smashing the fish head on the rock. was halarious

[Shiz]

i think they called they called it the last alliance of elves and men because it was pretty significant; pretty much a aname. if an elf was a friend of a man and they did something, it would be an alliance right?or...legolas helping aragorn, an alliance?

see what i mean

[Angrist]

Yeah ok.... I guess it was kinda cool. And I enjoyed it when I saw it, I knew it was gonna happen (one of the few spoilers I read).

Wanna see it again! :D:D

[Joeiss]

I am going to go see it today at one hour past noon.


I cannot wait.

[Joeiss]

Sorry for the double post... But I saw the movie yesterday! It was really good. The battles, the graphics, the character development, the everything was outstanding.

However.... I do not know if I liked it better than the Fellowship... I don't know... I'll have to see Two Towers again to make a better opinion, because I have watched Fellowship several times.

It was a great movie, though. But I found it almost boring until the end. In Fellowship, there was fighting often... Not only at the end.

you make it sound as though a movie is boring unless it has 'fighting' in it constantly :unsure:

and there was waaaay more action in the Two Towers than in Fellowship

[Destro]

Man, people are so easily impressed. I bet if some of you guys saw a truly great film you would crap your pants.

i saw a truly great film last friday, it was called Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers

i wonder if people are impressed over this movie because....oh, i dont know, maybe IT IS IMPRESSIVE! i think you are easily unimpressed, because TT was a damn good movie

[Shadow_Link]

Er, may I ask you what your idea of a great film is, because i can think of many, and not only does The Fellowship of the Ring rank up their, but so does The Two Towers.

These two films easily rank up their with the likes of The Shawshank Redemption, Good Fellas, The Shining, Terminator 1 & 2, Pulp Fiction, Minority Report, Scar Face, Manhunter etc.

[GameMaster]

You're an arrogant, worthless opinion.

I don't really like the hole build up... But whatever. I think that we are just lucky that the acting was good, because if it was like Star Wars II, it would have been pitiful.
