I've finally had time to watch these and great reactions Liam. I'll always love these films above all others. There is just something magical about how they make me feel every time. Waiting each December for the next one to arrive was torture, but it made those Christmas times special. It's way I tend to rewatch them every Christmas. I do love that having someone like Peter Jackson in charge meant there wasn't a Hollywood heroic end for Frodo and the ring. He's a hero for all he endured, but the fact at the end he doesn't want to destroy it, as it's finally taken full hold of him is great. Were it not for Gollum, he'd have walked away with it. I'm glad they didn't change that for the films. It's impossible to pick a favourite character. I love all of them in different ways! If you ever get chance to see them on a big screen, do it. I think people now forget that this was pre-Game of Thrones etc. so those battles and landscapes were jaw dropping on first release. Also, not for reactions, but if you ever have time to watch the DVD Appendices they remain the best behind the scenes of any film. The insights you get in to that filming experience are so fascinating. I look forward to your Hobbit ones!

2021-10-01 12:10:06 +0000 UTC01:18:00 Sean Astin for Best Supporting Actor for that scene alone, is one of my favorite scenes with Sam. This is one of the best finales ever to a series..and I can never get through it without tearing. I've seen this many many times since I first seen it way back in 2004. This movie was achieved greatly at the Oscars, 11 nominations and made a clean sweep, winning every single one. And you did a great job experiencing this wonderful trilogy. And if you do get to the Hobbit, make sure you see the Extended Cuts to those too, mainly for the 3rd movie as the Extended Cut is far superior to the Theatrical Cut. Good on ya man! ; )

2021-07-31 21:30:42 +0000 UTCSo where to begin. First off love your reactions. You should check out this audio clip of Tolkien himself reading from the passage of the Ride of the Rohirrim, i get chills from it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6jhKEqtLxM&t=17s So the ending of the book is very very VERY different from the movie. The book ending is very different, Sauromon doesn't die at the beginning of ROTK, but not till after Souron is defeated. The Hobbits return to the Shire to find it being ruled by Sauromons henchmen, the Hobbits enslaved basically, the crops and trees burned and the land no longer fit to grow things. Well Merry and Pipin lead the Hobbits in revolt overthrowing Sauromon, frodo spares his life but then wormtongue kills him like in the movie. Then Sam uses magic given to him by Galadriel to restore the health and beauty of the land, and is a hero everyone focuses on along with Merry and Pippin. But Sam makes a comment about how no one talks about the role Frodo played in everything and how it's sad. Here's a video on the Scouring of the Shire https://youtu.be/0YhOXLvPmT4 Third thing is that Tolkien actually started to write a sequel to LOTR set about 100 years after LOTR during the reign of Aragorn's son, but found it too sinister and depressing and scrapped the novel.
