Two Towers!!!

[Geffy]

Liv Tyler (Arwen) just looks like a 12 yr old to me, so I really wouldnt want to see that. She just sits/stands there and looks silly.

I think that Eowyn is better, shes got a bit more fire to her, and there is more of her character involved in the story line. If I remember rightly she does some fighting and stuff, where are Arwen rode though a forest (which she never did in the book, it was someone else).

Saw the movie Christmas day... Damn nice scenery Battle scenes are spectacular. It does drag out in the middle a small amount but the vistas draw you away from the slow up very well and you don't really mind it. I loved what the Tree Guardian Things do, very cool.

to each their own...

she was never in the MAIN story in the books... rather hers and strider's relationship are explained... or mentioned rather in an appendix... thats it...

they extrapolated and created a larger role for her...

in the fellowship... it was her father ELROND who commanded the river to sweet the enemy away... and hence the nazgul's horses were destroyed and they were slowed down.. then they got those cool bird thingers to fly lol...

i saw two towers just before
fantastic movie
was really good, looking forward to seeing the next one at the end of next year!

 

[gonaads]

That's too long to wait though, but... what the hell.

It will be worth it.

you know in two christmas's from now you will be able to have all of the special edition DVDs, and then you can sit there for 9 hours and watch the entire saga.

I wonder if they will use the trilogy of LOTR on long haul plane flights.

Shit I remember when here in "Frisco" at the Coronet Theater they ran the first Star Wars Trillogy back to back to back. All three (3) of them. (Duuuh)

Now that was somethin to see... Man my Butt hurt after that marathon.

 

[Geffy]

they are talkin about releasing the lotr films in i-max format, but they will have an intermission as they think that LOTR imax version will be to much for some people for 3 hours

 

[ReC0iL]

[gonaads]

should be well fun...

/me gets butt warmer ready...

 

[rick_422]

there would only be one bad thing in the movie i thought, and its been pretty harsh...
but in scenes where there was lots of action, sometimes the picture became a bit hard to tell what was happening, like the camera was moving around and that, maybe its cos i was so close, or it was just me....

probably but it will be shortened for the theatrical cut...

makes more business sense to have sub 3hr movies..

both the LOTR movies so far have been sub 3hr's run time.. BARELY....

peter jacksons contract was for movies that were around 2hrs each or 2hrs and a half... but he wrangled his way to the almost 3hr mark... doubt they will go above that for the last installment...
