My list of defending <B>ROTK</B><P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>Theoden's reluctanse to go to the aid of Gondor, didnt make any sense, and this coupled with the amazing army that appears out of no where just got me mad, if they only had 300 men at Helms Deep, they should be riding to gondor with about 15 men...I really hate the excuse of "the other men were far away"...<HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P> It's partially that the other people were to far away (in RotK, they had 3 days to come, in TTT they had less than half a day), but more the shortage of time. Why risk even 10-15 messangers when it's unlikely any men will come in time to help? You've just lost 10-15 men instantly right there...<P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>Denethor was AWFUL absolutly aful, I mean dear god, I dont know if it is the actor of the role that was written for him, but every little thing he did ****ed me off, first with hi s rambling until gandalf hit him, then with his eating, and then the pyre.. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>It wasn't the actor, he played an excellent role, for the script he was given. It was the directors that over-played him a little bit, I wasn't to thrilled with his character on the whole (yes, I know I'm not defending anything here...unless you count me defending John Noble's acting )<P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>The love story and elrond again, I didnt think it was possible , but the flashbacks and the scenes with arwen were worse than in TTT...not to mention Elrond riding all the way into rohan just to deliver a sword just shows that PJ forgot about Anduril for a while and finally remembered he needed to put it in...<HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P> I'll agree that I thought the Arwen sideplot was darn close to a total waste of time in RotK, but you're over-exaggerating with the sword. Elrond rode to give Aragorn his sword because:<P>a. It signified that he was accepting his destiny & taking a major step forward to accepting the throne. -&-<BR>b. Perhaps Elrond knew that Aragorn would need the sword in order to command the Dead?<P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>No Cirdan...now thats just mean, I wanted to see Cirdan...you dont see a bearded elf every day...<HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P> It would've been cool to see him, but hey, if we're going to be talking confusing scenes, here's a prime example of one had it been in the movie (I've heard that people say Cirdan was there, but if so, I could swear he had no beard).<P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>Gollum fighting an invisible Frodo just looked too strange, and not to mention Frodo pushing gollum off the edge got me angry, he just lost of a finger, he was in no condition to fight gollum for the ring...it should of been a shorter struggle and gollum should of fallen off...<HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P> Frodo pushing Gollum off? He didn't push him off, he was fighting madly to get the Ring back, & Gollum (& Frodo, really) fell off the edge in their battle, not because of a pre-meditated push. As to him just having got his finger bitten off...he was fighting to get 'his precious' back, considering how the thing had grown on him, it comes as no suprise to me that he fought as hard as he did. <BR> Hopefully I will not be in trouble with the ops for posting 3 times in a row, but I really didn't want to combine all the posts on the movies in to one endless post...I'll be lucky enough if anyone reads everthing as it is !
