OMG LOTR: The Return of the King is a ridiculous movie!

[lupi]

lol, complaining about the army of the dead and why it didn't do more is laughable..not only was it in the book, but as I recall in the book they only assisted in taking the boats and the docks so the rest of the human reinforcements could attack from the docks (more important the evil humans who would have been on the ships are gone) and you are complaining he didn't do enough with the dead when he actually took it further than the books.

If you don't understand the film, it's clear that you haven't read The Lord of the Rings. Do so.

 

[BudAshes]

They did pretty well without the army. Naysayer.

now that's a hell of a lurker account.

yea considering there are no other options. I still randomly find myself thinking "there's nuttin but mutton to eat" when I notice my fridge is empty. However I don't have any tasty hobbits to roast.

You just totally wasted a post. Now you have 3.

 

[IronWing]

interesting. never thought of this.

Really? I thought of it when I first read the book, about the time they got to Rivendell. All sorts of plot deviations could have been avoided with sufficient application of air power.

the books suck. no need to read them to get what's going on.

I foresee a short life for section8.

is there ever a reason given in the books? Like how the Dwarves can't help because they are busy fighting goblins and more of Sauron's forces in the North, which is never really talked about in the movie.

One does not simply fly on eagles into Mordor.

Really, they would have been seen far too easily if they tried that.

Also, the eagles are not as concerned with the doings of men, elves, hobbits or dwarves. They happened to help out mainly due to Gandalf and probably some favor owed or something, but they were not a giving bunch that would just do anything for them at any time.

The book is one of the best literary works ever.

 

[zinfamous]

The book is one of the best literary works ever.

uh...if you're 12. the characters are flat and pointless. Not a single literary scholar of any merit considers them great literature. The language is dated, dry, and frankly laughable.

The only worthwhile contribution Tolkien had to literature was the Silmarillon. That was pretty good.

lol, great literature.

For fucks sake--are so many of us this fucking illiterate?

I agree. Enough for one night. Time to move on.
