Thank you, Lomelinde and Oandenel! Haldir is <I>not</I> that bad! He can't help his nose; I might as well say something about Merry's nose as well! Hmph.<BR>Who couldn't love this face?!<BR> <P>Oh, and your welcome, avarrogion. I was pretty sure that was Nenya. Wasn't positive, but it's nice to know I'm not the only one who thinks so.<P>[ May 27, 2002: Message edited by: Nevfeniel ]<p>[ May 27, 2002: Message edited by: Nevfeniel ]

I heard that the dvd release somewhere end of this year will be featuring the gift giving part in Lorien and maybe we will get to see the Ring Galadriel was wearing!!

I liked the Galadriel scene. She looked very perilous and evil. <BR>I also heard that about the DVD. Now I need a Dvd palyer...

I think that Cate Blanchet impersonates Galadriel superbly, and her voice in the opening narration is just perfect. Neither did I think that the visual effects in the scene where she is tempted by the ring, are overdone.But they shouldn`t have altered her voice so much there,IMO. <BR>What I missed most in Lothlorien are the scenes where Galadriel, by her kindness and understanding, overcomes Gimlis dislike for elves, and he and Legolas become friends, and the scene where Gimli asks for a strand of Galadriels hair as a parting gift. I feel sorry that Gimli is portrayed much less sympathetic in the film than in the book. Does anyone share my opinion?

Well i believe that Gimli would appear more in the TTT most likely the friendship with Legolas at Helm`s Deep....regarding sympathetic well there`s not much to be said as Gimli was not potrayed that much in the FOTR but i believe we will see the sympathetic side of him in TTT and ROTK!!<P>" Is it nice, my preciousss? Is it juicy? Is it scrumtiously crunchable?"<BR>Gollum <BR>

I also miss the gift giving, especially Gimli's part, which I think is the sweetest part of the book.

I'm SURE we saw Galadriel's ring in the beginning of the movie? remember the 3 freaky people with Galadriel in front and a glowing shiny thing on her finger? That was Nenya. Unless i was just hallucinating at the start of the movie...the 4 times i saw it.<P>I really wish they'd shown the gift giving in slightly more detail - it would only have taken a few minutes and would have contributed to the story. I liked the bit when Gimli asked for a lock of Galadriel's hair, i thought it showed how much his feelings had changed towards elves during his stay in Lorien.<P>On the subject of Lothlorien, i have to agree that Galadriel and the ring thing was a bit overdone. There wasn't any need for her to go green was there? She's like the ruler of Lorien and they don't go around having wee scary fits when they get offered a ring (whether it's THE ring or not). Also, her voice sounded like some kind of robot or machine type thing - and i don't think middle earth had advanced that far in technology! I think the book described it much better than the movie showed. Saying that, I though Cate Blanchett was really good as Galadriel, there were just too many special effects.<P>It's ok, i'm done now<P>By the way, concerning the Haldir thing, he does look a bit weird. Also, why is he in TTT?

I agree...the gifts were more than a little important. I was sad that I suppose we shall not see Sam plant his garden since she gave Sam no gift. As far as Gimli goes...what I find odd, or would if I hadn't read the book, is why does Gimli all the sudden love elves? I assume they are going to show SOME bonding between him and Legolas, but still...not the best for character development. Oh well, it can't all be perfect...hehe; at least not unless they had US make the movies. :P

Yes, I too remember the ring being shown right at the begining of the film.

The gift-giving part was the most wanted part because i wanted to see Gimli asking for a strand of hair from Galadriel.<P>I didn't really catch the rings in the beginning of the movie.<BR>Darn!

I didn't like the Galadriel scene from FOTR - she looked like J-Lo from a bad music video.<P>Nevfenniel - great pic of Haldir, who I thought was a very fine looking elf!

Haldir is not half so elf-looking as Legolas. Then again, even Galadriel is not as elf looking as Legolas.

Really? I wonder if that means Sam can make his garden and Gimli's character develops a bit more on the DVD version...lol. That would be nice.
