I watched these movies for the first time last week and the week before that and I have to say that they are highly overrated. They are not bad movies... but I don't think they deserve the praise they get. But I think those hobbit movies are better, I mean Frodo is one of the most annoying main characters ever... but I did like Bilbo. Finally some one that agrees... |

He had little personality and the audience was either forced to like him cause he was the main character, or just be annoyed by him. He has some decent scenes, but Sam is MUCH better. Although, like Nam said, Frodo was a lot cooler in the books. (But Sam is still my favorite hobbit besides Bilbo). |

Are there things in the LOTR book series that are not in the movies? I've seen all the movies for LOTR but haven't read the books. I've read the Hobbit, but I cant really compare books to movies for LOTR. I can for the Hobbit though. There are a lot of things I which were in the Hobbit, little and big things that were in the book. I would have liked to see Bilbo talk to the Eagle as he did in the book when he was pinching the eagle to hard. He rode them but didnt talk them. I also pictured the Beorn seen different. The seen overall was pretty decent but I wish they would have done the one by one introduction for the dwarves at Beorns house, to see him get fustrated as in the book. Instead of a chase scene. But more than anything, the Five armies battle, i was hoping it would have been the Goblins attacking not Sauron. There are a few more as well but it was still an enjoyable series none the less. Overall, the LOTR movies stayed fairly true to the book (which is why they were much, much better than The Hobbit films). A few changes include what they did to Frodo's character, and Arwen didn't save Frodo in the book.. oh, and Faramir. One of the best characters in the books who was ruined the same way Frodo was in the films. Also, Beregond wasn't in the films, and he was a nice character... and the Scouring of the Shire, where Saruman takes over the Shire after he loses Isengard. I loved those chapters but they weren't in the film. Yeah, they did pretty good for a book's story being translated to a film trilogy. The Tom Bombadil scenes were absent as well as many of the events that took place in FOTR between leaving the Shire and arriving at Bree. But I'm sorta glad they didn't include that, since I feel it would've been awkward in the movie and most moviegoers that's don't know LOTR as well wouldn't like it or find it to be random. I'm very disappointed the Scouring of the Shire wasn't in there as well. |

Thranduil and Bard didn't need to go to war with Thorin just because they mad at him for breaking his swear. They should have just invited him to a wedding... Maybe a red one...

Fili and Kili look like brothers about as much as Joffrey and Gendry do.

I don't get why they cut any of the extended scenes, but at least they're still out there on the extended editions. Saruman's death scene doesn't bother me too much though since it was inaccurate to the book anyway. |

Do you guys think they could make a film for the similiaron book for the middle earth film series? I think it would be neat but I'm not sure if there would be enough plot really to make a decent profit. I for one would like to see it. With Sauron making the rings and the one ring, with the origins of the plantirs, the origins of where wizards came from, the valar and etc.

It has a lot of cool interesting peices and historic information but that's why I was thinking it might no have enough sustaining plot to it. |

So, if you haven't read the similiarion or read up on various sites or forums about the beginning creation of middle earth, this won't make sense. Gandalf is not a mortal wizard in the form of a man, rather he is a Maiar spirit created from the beginning of time; he chose to take human form, like Saruman, Radaghast and the other 2 Istari wizards. Virtually his existence is pure spirit but he can pose as any physical body or form he chooses but his spirit itself can't die. When Sauron's ring was destroyed his spirit was vanished, in the sense killed, but being he was a Maiar like Gandalf, then technically although his spirit no longer endured in middle earth, then he still must have survived somewhere in the Valar heavens. Even then though he chose to follow Morgoth down the evil path so it wouldn't be in the company of the Valar but where? There was a scene when Gandalf showed his flashback of when he died in the LOTR films. He said "I have been sent back until my tasked is finished". The Valar sent him as part of the Istari company to help middle earth citizens with the Sauron conflict so that makes sense but he was in the heavens and then ordered back by the Vala but where would Sauron go after death? That was a long question but if you understand it then answer this knawing question. I was thinking he would go to Undun but that might be a mortal place in middle earth though, but made by Morgoth as a similar hell to mock the home of the Valar god's,

O and another thing. Sauron used the one ring to control the 9 nine rings given to the Nazgul. Without the one ring in his possession how can he control the Nazgul to his loyalty? I don't know Tolkien, I think you left some gaps someplaces.

It's rumored that Sauron has their rings in possession but without the Nazgul having their rings on how is that possible for them to remain these undead creatures? Okay I'm done with questions for now.
