Return of the King - Spoiler Version

[Crash]

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.

They're not "Rocs." They're Eagles. Whatever any other fantasy author chooses to name giant birds of prey, Tolkien used "Eagles" thus your use of "Rocs" is incorrect.

Sorry, but that just kind of annoyed me...

Anyway...

Yeah, the Eagles are from The Hobbit originally. I remember there was something in The Hobbit that made the Eagles being in the battle outside Mordor pretty neat, but I can't remember what it was...

Damn sweet. Just plain great.

I cried 4 times:
"DEATH! DEATH!!" from the Rohirrim,
"The Eagles are coming!!" just because that was such a great prhase in the book,
Aragorn and everybody bowing for the Hobbits. BEST SCENE!!!!!!!
Frodo and stuff leaving. Basicly the whole ending scene.

Blast this movie is great!

At first it kinda annoyed me how they changed this from the book, for example the whole Osgiliath thing (in the book it was already taken months ago and you don't hear anything about it).
But the second half of the movie made up for everything.

The army of the dead was cool, but I thought it was a bit over the top. They way they saved the day... oh well.

Legolas was great. How much damage can one person do?

The scene with Éowyn and the Witch King could have been better if you'd ask me. Why didn't they give her her original words?
-"Thou fool! No mortal man may hinder me!"
-"But no mortal man am I" and then perhaps "I'm a woman", don't remember if that's in the book...

Sam going to Rosie was GREAT! We were all like 'Go Sam! Go Sam!'

Haha did you see Peter Jackson??? I think I did. He's on one of the ships, a fat man with long black hair.
And when I saw his kids, I was really like 'Oh no! It's them again! "


I'll stop now, or else nobody will read my long post.

Can someone tell me how Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli, and the Army of the Dead got onto those ships which were suppose to be carrying enemies?

[Canyarion]

Yeah I'll tell you.... ehm you find that out when Aragorn tells it... so it´s not really detailed. They basicly scared the *peep* out of the Orc armies with their undead army and then they took their ships... I think the whole army drowned or something, I'm not sure. That's basicly it.

Great movie. I thought the whole Eagle part needed to be explained more fully to the movie audience who were not familiar with the mythos.

A lot of people criticized the length of the end, but I thought it was fitting. This was an epic movie series that deserved an epic ending that tied all the loose strings.

So, after 3 years of waiting this entire series more than filled my expectations, but I am left depressed. Depressed because this was the end. There will be no more Lord of the Rings movies. There is no more anticipation. It is the December 26th of the movie world. I only hope someone has the brains to pay for the rights to The Hobbit.
