What was the best new scene in the three EE's? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I think that the best scene was the addition of the Mouth of Sauron. I think that that was very important, and that the last battle would not have had exactly the same feeling without it.

I agree with Ninja91, the Mouth of Sauron was a welcome addition, I also liked the Death of Saruman, no matter how big the hobbit was that shot Wormtongue?................ha.

In fact I like more of the EEs than I dislike, And I dislike more of the EEs than they deserve.........................

Although they were both pretty incorrect as far as the books were concerned, I truly loved both the Mouth of Sauron scene and Saruman's death scene. Christopher Lee truly at his masterful best!

I enjoyed the extended battle scenes in the siege of Minas Tirith. With the battle on the siege towers and the ring wraiths strafing the battlements. Especially the one where the orc horde sends the battalion of orcs charging the gate with their puny battering ram, only to be completely pasted by the Gondorian Archers. It gets to the point where the bodies are piled so high against the door that they can't ram the door.

Finally Gothmog decides to bring up "Grond" (aka Giant Troll Powered Battering Ram), like duh, why didnt he do that in the first place

.

The scene from FOTR I liked the most is when Aragorn and Boromir are talking the night before they reach the Falls or Rauros and Boromir pleads with him to bring the ring to Minas Tirith. Aragorn rejects it by saying that he "Would not bring it within a hundred leagues of the white city." It sets up the divide between Aragorn and Boromir nicely which flows well into the next scenes where Boromir tries to take the ring by himself.

Maybe it's just me. I hated that scene. *rambles on about how Aragorn shouldn't have killed the messenger*

Hating to betray TTT EE Boromir and Faramir, I give my best-altogether-new-scene-vote to the Houses of Healing. Short and wanting as it is (Aragorn never gets near Merry or Faramir, and only just barely helps out Eowyn) at least we FINALLY get some Faramir-on-Eowyn action and the blue starry cloak.

I hated it too, gave the wrong view of Aragorn.

I think my favourite new scenes were the ones that showed the relationship between Boromir and Faramir. It was nice to see them just as brothers, with Faramir obviously so proud of Boromir, and Boromir protective of his kid brother.

The scene in ROTK with Denethor : " Why do the fools fly ? " .

Bang on portrayal by John Noble of the madness of Denethor .

Oh yeah, and it would not have been complete if they had not shown Saruman and what happened to him at Orthanc (even though it happened in the Shire in the books)
