Well i saw it again on Monday and still i feel flat. What is wrong with me? It's so unfair! But one highlight was when, at the most inappropriate time, i laughed hysterically and had to conceal my fits of giggles. This was when Frodo was stabbed by Shelob and he looked completly constipated. I had to shrink in the chair and cover my mouth so as to not disturb the others in the cinima who thought it absolutely thrilling. (And to all those thinking..."What a rude person, i would have thumped her"....Dont worry i succeded in my task at not disturbing them, But sometimes you just cant help yourself)

In the movie Sam was a ringbearer, he still had the ring for the brief period of time between Shelob's lair and Minas Ungol. The movie also stayed true to the books in that Sam did not leave with Frodo for Valinor, but stayed in Middle-Earth with his family before finally leaving. The only difference between the book and movie is that nothing is mentioned of Sam's decision to stay in Middle-Earth
Good point
Sam does carry the ring, but i thought that you had to wear it to becom a 'bearer'...oh well.
Anyway, i suppose that in the film they needed to conclude every emotion, not every plot point (like Saruman), so there is a bit of humour, a bit of joy, heartbreak and sadness. but the problem with LOTRs is that it was so long, that Jackson had to be slightly unconventional in the closure - and after being wiened on labotomised holywood emotional drivel, mot ppl in the audience (who havnt read the book) got pissed off with it.
their loss i suppose cos they wont be able apriciate truely unconventional films because they will be wineging: "wtf was with the stupid ending"

Interesting that you don't think RotK ends with emotional drivel, really. It's consistent with the book though so I guess you can't really criticize it for thatOriginally posted by Adaran

The Twins were in ROTK!!! woo hoo!! I saw Elladan and Elrohir!! I was so excited. People thought I was crazy. But yes.
And Glorfindel!! I didnt like Arwen because she stole my sexy Glorfindel of Gondolin from me!! I have no idea why I like him, but I do. That whole coming back from the Halls of Mandos just made me fanciated with him. And there he was, next to Elrond at Aragorns (Elessar, Telcontar whatever hes calling himself these days) corination. And I can pretend Thranduil was the little blonde elf at the begining of FOTR when Isilduir cuts Sarouns finger off. The one without a helmet on. That always made me laugh. Elrond wore no head guard thing. Gil Galad only had his crown. I'd say Thranduil was the blondie without any head gear. Was lookin for him behind Legolas at the corination too. Couldnt see him. Cant even remember if he went... oh well. He rocked my socks. In the hobbit anyway. Glorfindel is a legand. I love him.
Gollum rocked!! 'up, up uo the stairs we goes!' I love him.
Legolas and Aragorn were hot. The mumakil (or Oliphant. They cant decide what it was..) thing was awsome. I love Merry and Pippin!!
But yes, as usual, my favorites had small roles. had their roles stolen from elf crumpets. meh.
