<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>I actually didn't like the extended version of Fellowship. It didn't flow half as well, and I especially felt that the beginning where we lingered in Hobbiton much longer bogged it down.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> I don't feel the same. I actually didn't mind the extended beginings surrounding the definition of Hobbits, because it helps those who haven't read the books yet; & it's not THAT bad to have to watch .<P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>They would have gotten bored.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> That's not been the case in my expierence.<P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>I mean, they are cool, but one of their endearing features is how long it takes them to do everything. Yikes.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE><BR>I do agree with that. They move sooo sloooow. I can deal with it for a while, but then it just takes forever for their segment to end, & they rarely accomplish anything, really. I think Merry, Pippin, & the Ents segment are pretty close to boring. <P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>I wasn't so offended by Gimli's comic role.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> I wasn't at first, but then it went on & on. Practically everything he said was supposed to be funny, I quickly figured out the true meaning of the phrase 'to much of a good thing'.<P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>And maybe Gandalf did need to play the exorcist just to show that as Gandalf the White, he is Saruman's equal, and not about to be slung helplessly around Orthanc a second time.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> The 'exorcism' wasn't as bad as the lameness surrounding the exorsism, which I've already discussed in the thread called (odly enough)'Theoden's Exorcism' (or something like that); so I won't recount them here (lucky for you guys ).<p>[ August 30, 2003: Message edited by: The Only Real Estel ]
