Sting What would you as a director have done better?

This is not a PJ bashing topic, just a place where you reckon you could have produced a better scene or shot. Maybe because of better scenery, special effects or other means.<P>I have always thought...

You seem to have a very romanticized idea of elves. They might be a special and gifted race but they nonetheless have to eat and sleep like others and they would have had to grow crops, raise animals...

I can only think it is one of the many scenes from the movie that did not make it through the diting process. To film a movie that lasts three hours, PJ probably had to shoot 4 or 5 hours excluding...

Sting Birth of the Uruk Hai

I personally never pictured the Uruk Hai to be what PJ made them, some monster born in a gigantic placenta from what looks like the earth under Orthanc.<P>I always thought that Saruman's Uruks were...

I think Lurtz is a lovely character. PJ had to create him to give the Uruks a bit more credibility.

I prefered the book version, though it did not protray the scenes in such detail. The film version shows a totally over-dramatised scene that may appeal more to non Tolkien fans as do the other...

Sting Wolf riders

I think that the scenes covering the attack of the wolf riders from Orthanc is one of the best moments of the movie. PJ twisted impression of wolves is very good, he has also proved himself to be a...

I would certainly choose the two blades Legolas carries and plays with in the TT. He must have really enjoyed learning to master the swinging of those two elfic blades.

Slaves of Mordor. Now were not all of the servants, fighters, orcs, ringwraiths, and the mouth of Sauron considered slaves? Surely the definition of slavery would not be far from not having your say,...
