Return of the King - Spoiler Version

[Jonbo298]

*You have been warned*

The only thing from RotK that confused me was the Eagles when they came and "evened up" the battle at the gates of Mordor. They basically came out of nowhere and as far as I know, they were never talked about in the other 2 movies. I haven't read the books yet, so there is a possibility they were talked more in the books. So can anyone explain the Eagles to me? That's about the only thing in the movie that confused me.

Gandalf befriended an Eagle in the first movie allowing him to escape from Isengard. And I do believe an Eagle came to get him after his fight him the Balrog on the summit of that mountain in the second movie (could be wrong on that one, don't quite remember).

When I get some time, I'll rewatch the other 2 and see if I recognize the Eagle. Probably just something small I overlooked

That ealge dude picked up Gandalf from that big ass tower.

And ya, the eagles came out of nowhere! Lol, and those dragons could have kicked the crap out of the eagles... That was BS, IMO.

And the fact that that chick chopped the dragons head off with only like 2 or 3 chops was ridiculous, lol... And her whole "I am a woman" thing was totally like in Macbeth when Macbeth was killed by that dude (i forget his name, haha).

And yes, Legolas is a ****ing pimp.... He is so bad ass. The way he took down that elephant was phenominal. And the dead army kicks some major ass too.

Great movie. The ending could have been 20 minutes shorter, and the whole laughing scene in the bedroom was quite homosexual.

Golem is a little bitch, but his character is absolutely incredible.

i dug the whole movie, the only thing that bothered me was the fact they were like 10 feet from the lava, normally that'd burn them alive, oh well. they did a much better job of making the emotial aspect stand out in this movie than with the second one. the dragons were awesome, and the scene with pippen singing was done awesomely too. it's absolutely sad there is no more of these movies coming. lets bring the hobbit to the screen with peter jackson directing it.

i dont know if i liked the way all the orcs killed each other in the tower, people who didn't see the extended TWO TOWERS or read the books might be a little confused, but in the books there was always a lot of rivalry between the orcs from isengard and the ones from mordor. cool though, that in the first movie, sam didn't even have the bravery to ask the girl to dance, but when he gets home, he is trully named samwise the brave.

I believe Gandalf knows the large Eagles (Rocs, the seem to be) from "The Hobbit" when he crossed the Misty Mountains.

In The Fellowship, Gandalf communicated with a moth to hitch a ride from the Roc. In this film, the moth was shown right befor the Rocs appeared.

Rocs are very, very powerful. The Dragons that the Nazul fly are most definately menacing and have nice jaws, but they are carrying the Nazgul on their backs. It's like how I feel a wild horse would be able to beat on a horse with a guy on the back (assuming the guy is doing nothing). Also, the dragons are a little smaller, and the Rocs catch them off guard.

Err, Birds of prey are by no means pansies. The Rocs were a little bigger than the dragons, I believe... and anyone here know that birds can take out snakes?

Anywho, I agree about the woman thing. I disliked the fact that she could use a one-handed sword and lop off the dragon's head in one blow... which was AFTER she managed to dodge it's attack despite her heavy gear (shield, helm, sword, and body armor). The little feminist remark was funny too... expected...
I do, however, hold more respect for her after seeing her somehow take out the lord of all Nazgul. *sigh*


The lava thing... yeah, I find that hilarious. They went through freezing mountains but could take the lava with ease.

Oh well.
