What really riles me is that the movie was "supposed" to be taken from the book. With this TTT you could write a whole new book with much different description and a changed plot. I can forgive PJ for a lot of things. I can agree that his interpretations will be different from mine. They wasy he portrayed Gollum was not my own, but I can respect it. Some things though went overboard. Now to respond to some of the stuff thats been happening.<P>Grounds-Keeper-Willie: Right on brother. I could not agree more to your post. My posts do seem quite angry, and I am. But more sad for what PJ and Fran Wlash lost then what they did. They missed making a wonderfull movie. But still quite agree with your argument regarding our emotional views of the movie.<P>Rosie Cotton:<BR> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> All of Rohan went past my expitations. It was set up with a brilliant background of a wonderfull Rohan musical theme. All the new Rohan charicters (Eowyn, Eomer, Theoden) were wonderfully introduce. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>Now I canr espect that you enjoyed the movie a lot more then I did and that several of the points you outline weren't in all that actuality that bad. However, we we come to Rohan I really disagree. They are undiputably my FAVORITE part of the whole series. I am a rider myself, and i've always loved their beutiful portrayl in TTT and the feel that they give me when i'm reading the book. PJ sadly and to my disgust changed them for the worse. First he made the Rohirrim people look like a bunch of rabble, instead of the proud people that they are. They made it look like they had no army at all (one of my big grievances). The Rohirrim one the battle without any help from the elves. PJ by bringing the elves to the battle furthur degraded what the Rohirrim are. He made it seem like the only defense they had were old men and little kids. In the movie all you saw was elves fighting the orcs, again, and again, and again. It angered my so much I wanted to scream. It was Rohan won the battle not the elves. <P>Yes I do agree that the characters were introduced well but, in the case of Eomer they really dropped the ball. As I have said before he is my favorite character. They introduced him and then he....he....dissapears. He was supposed to be fighting at Helms Deep whooping arse with Aragorn. He and Aragorn drew swords together and got down to buisness. BU tin PJ movie he just isn't their and Haldir takes some of his whoopage. Maybe PJ didn't want Eomer there cause it might show that the Rohirrim realy are powerfull and not the wimps they showed them for. True Eomer showed up at the very end peeping beneath Gandalfs robe. I soo looking foward to him fighting. I kept thinking through all of Faramirs scene and the elves, Eomer's going to come back.....he....he's just getting rested for his moment of glory. Nope never came. Instead Arwen had more screen time.<P>Sorry about that Rosie Cotton, I was just using your post as a springboard for my rant. Other then a few certin parts the movie wasn't THAT bad. But still I have my reasons for being dissapointed.<P>Anywho, mark12_30, The Silver-shod Muse, Iarwain, and GreyIstar I agree with all of you. Right one. Especially GreyIstar. I agree that PJ has really changed almost every chracter (except for Eomer cause hen wasn;t there enough to change).<P>Iatwain:<BR> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> For those who call this abominable film an "interpretation" by Peter Jackson, I would really like to hear what was written in your copy of LotR. When Frodo gets dragged by an ally-gone-bad about forty miles in the wrong direction to a place where he should never have been, to do things that he would never even considered doing in his greatest ring-fit, I believe that the term "interpretation" can no longer be sensibly used.<BR> <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><BR>Right on my friend, right on. <P>piosenniel: yah, I know it was Tolkienesk. But I was hoping for the real deal and not some Fanfic version. But I am hard to please. I'm a tolkein vampire, I devoure all of his books . So i'm a little critical mind you.<P>Oh and Rhudladion, I too Expected to see TTT". Unfortunatley, that wasn't what I got.<BR> Whats this!! I thought as I was waching.<P>Mister Underhill, if any of my posts are over the edge i apologize. I'll keep this debate civilized.<p>[ December 19, 2002: Message edited by: Túroch ]
