Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring

Recommended Posts

Kind of a tangent here, but did anyone else here find the part of the movie where Bilbo sees the ring the least bit creepy? Yikes.

wow this just makes me whana see it more,

my 2 favorite movies matrix(dosint everybody) and ff movie


No, everybody dosint Matrix. That movie sucked, it was just as pointless as Mortal Kombat, only longer and with guns instead of ninjas. Really can't understand why everyone pissed their pants at it. Oh, well, after the Power Rangers, everything may seem like a work of art.

Now, seriously, the Matrix didn't suck. It was an OK movie, but absolutely nothing special. Everyone seemed to think, from some reason, that the idea of this fake world inside a real world was somewhat revolutionary... It was definitely done before, but even if it didn't, there wasn't anything particularly worthy in it.

Now, here's a good matrix:

(1 2 3)
(4 5 6)
(7 8 9)

It can be shown that it's determinant:

|1 2 3|
|4 5 6| = 0
|7 8 9|

These are the same people who make boy bands and shows like Sabrina the Teenage Witch top hits.

I didn't care much for the matrix, it was allright, but definetely over rated. I was interested in final fantasy, but then I saw the preview and all I could think was "man, that looks really stupid". Lord of the Rings was a pretty kick ass movie though, I've read the books about 3 times and it's surely one of the best series ever, and I was kind of nervous when I heard they were making a movie out of it. I just hoped they weren't going to screw it up, but they didn't screw it up, not by a long shot. All the characters were played by actors who really played the parts well. Frodo seemed like I always figured he would, Gandalf was pretty much exactly as I imagined him. The only part that angered me was when they didn't go through the barrow downs and they didn't meet tom bombadillo. Oh well, the rest of the movie was pretty close to the book, I was surprised at how much they fit into three hours. Admittedly some parts did seem a little hurried, but all in all it's a very good recreation of the book. I can hardly wait til the Two Towers comes out, that was always my favorite of the series.

I didn't catch the vibe of The Matrix. But I thought it was a decent movie.

:-):-):-)½ Set in mythic pre-historic times, a young hobbit named Frodo Baggins inherits a magic ring from his elderly cousin Bilbo. Wise to the powers that the magic ring holds, the dark Lord Sauron wants it, knowing it will enable him to enslave the people of Middle Earth. In his effort to thwart Sauron, Frodo recruits the fellowship of a wizard, an elf, a dwarf and others on a mission to destroy the ring by casting it into the volcanic fires in the Crack of Doom. However, the ring unleashes its own power as a result of the struggle....

I don't remember there being an Episode II trailor. But I do remember an Austin Powers 3 trailor. Damn, WTF is up with this midget fetish?

LotR was an awesome movie. I gotta go see it again. I don't know what you guys have against the Martix. Its not the best movie, but its one of the few action movies I like. Finaly Fantasy was crappy. I was gonna see it with some friends who are FF fans, but they ditch me and I had to see it alone. Damn it was boring. Oh well, after the movie I went down to the mall and found an awesome NIN patch, so it wasn't a total loss.

I'm thinking of maybe going to see that LotR again with a girl I know, if she Kind of as an apology for not getting her a ticket for when I saw it on the first night.

Well Elrond IS a bit arrogant anyway. But Tom? heh, he's just a little joke. He has no real place in the books, he was there just because Tolkien liked the character very much.

Elrond is arrogant because he's really an agent from the matrix! :)

Tom was actually created before Middle-Earth. He was a fairy tale Tolkien made up to tell his children about. More on Tom.

And as for all of you who think the movie sucks, no-one cares about YOUR opinion. :p

This is copied from rottentomatoes.com message board.

When Galadriel was talking to Frodo, it reminded me of a recurring dream I used to have during my childhod which petrified me. When Galadriel goes freaky on Frodo I was barely able to keep watching because I was so tweaked out. I used to have this dream where I was at the ocean and there would be this "powerful queen" with a pale face (I might as well have been dreaming about Galadriel from this scene); and she would just be lying in the curl of a wave staring at me, much how Galadriel stared at Frodo in that scene. When staring back at Galadriel in the theatre I felt like her eyes were piercing right through me. I've always wondered what the hell that dream meant or why I used to have it. Seeing this movie has only got me more interested in understanding this dream and why it scared me so much.

The same scene: Frodo looks into the well and sees the Shire being raped. I thought this scene was done perfectly - the windmill and the hobbits walking single file chained... and Bilbo's home nestled in the hillside beneath a rapidly changing sky; I felt like it was my own home being destroyed, and so I was struggling to hold back tears and my chest felt extremely heavy. This scene made me feel like I was being forced to recollect some ancient piece of history that I had attempted to forget and buried deep in my subconscious. And when Frodo leaves Lothlorien after his chat with Galadriel, I wanted to be Frodo and bear the burden of being ring bearer.

Hmm... this scene sorta reminds me of another recurring dream I used to have. I'd be in this dark, opressed place. And I'd be waiting in line to be burned in a red burning fire. Another very short dream, but which scared the devil out of me.

Never has a movie had such a profound effect on me. And never have I been so unable to pinpoint why. I thought the scenes when Frodo puts on the ring were done perfectly. They reminded me of bad experiences I used to have smoking pot: What Frodo experiences the first time he puts on the ring is how I felt the first time I got high: [put here what you think the experience for Frodo was like when he wore the ring for the first time]. Unfortunately I didn't have the liberty to just yank the ring off when I had had enough....

Man, this movie really managed to tweak with all the bad head trips I've ever had. Although there is another recurring nightmare I used to have that the movie didn't seem to be "aware" of. I would be on a river going to a waterfall, and I'd feel like it was inevitable that I would arrive at the waterfall and was petrified of arriving. And I'd be able to see where the river ended not far off.

Another scene that I'm surprised no one mentioned in this thread was when Bilbo goes for the ring around Frodo's neck: "I'd very much like to hold it again". Peter Jackson does evil extremely well throughout this movie.

Viggo Mortensen was awesome as Strider. Towards the end of the movie there is a scene where the camera goes slow and Strider emerges onto that rocky area and glances around at the orcs before he proceeds to kick their asses.

And, yes, Frodo does an excellent job when he's wounded. Such a classic scene was it when Frodo got stabbed by the Cave Troll and is looking up in desperation.

My screen saver is a password protected "YOU CANNOT PASS". I wanted it to be "YOU SHALL NOT PASS" but it wouldn't allow that many characters... yes, Gandalf deserves the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor.

The scene in the beginning of the movie where the road gets stretched/squished by cool camera tricks and Frodo yells: "get off the road!" reminded me of a road/path in the woods where I live. Plus, it was just a cool ass scene 'cause I really was hoping they would get off the road.

And, of course, after Gandalf dies when it goes into slow mo and the voices are muted so the awesome Howard Shore soundtrack can do a better job of getting us misty eyed. I loved how the arrows bounced off the rocks around Strider just before he turns to leave.

And the very last scene of the movie: when Sam Gamgee reassures Frodo: "we may yet, Mr. Frodo, we may yet...."

Sauron the Deceiver stood abreast the craggy crest at Weathertop, his true face unknown to the
foe that now faced him, for a shield of iron concealed his entire head but for a slit below the
forehead in his helmet. Deep set was this arpeture, that shadow fell on the dark Lord’s black
eyes. On his shoulders were fastened great plates of armor with long fangs that of ancient
dragons. His forearms with smaller plates of iron had thickly set teeth of slain cave trolls. His
knees and upper legs were enarmored with the long impish teeth of orcs. On his right shin were
more daggers taken from the jaws of dragons. From his right hand hung a mace made of skulls
of infant elves once enslaved and tortured. Clasped in his left hand he held a long sword with
jagged teeth below the menacing tip. The skull of a forest goblin with outstretched, pointed
horns aimed slightly downward made place for a chest plate.

The little hobbit now stood before the hideous Sauron protected only with the round wooden
shield with copper core that he had received from Tom Bombadil. The large dagger with the red
adder embossed in the handle he now held drawn in front of him. He stepped tentatively
backward until he came abrupt against the mountain wall behind him.

Sauron took a giant step forward. Dust kicked up from his heel as his foot came thundering
down. Winding up the mace of skulls above his head and raising his hefty sword he towered
above the trembling hobbit. Frodo’s eyes froze on the cold iron mask that now bent down
toward him. At that moment he thought of what Gandalf had said. “Whatever you do, don’t use
the ring, for the agents of the dark Lord will be drawn to its power.” Frodo was now not faced
with the agents of evil, but with evil itself. He was swept with a sudden and overwhelming fear
that if the ring should be slipped on his finger it would mean immediate death. He withdrew his
hand from his pocket where it had, unbeknownst to him, been fingering the ring. He threw his
dagger up at Sauron’s face and dove between his legs. Confused by this sudden and unexpected
action, Sauron’s sword came crashing into the ground misguided and irresolute. But Frodo’s
sweater snagged on the orcish armor protruding from Sauron’s leg. Seeing an opportunity to
make up for his error, Sauron desperately flung the mace between his legs. Struggling to free
himself of the armor, Frodo fell flat on his stomach. A waif of air pressed against the back of his
head. The trio of skulls had missed. Given this moment to escape, he ripped his sweater free,
leapt to his feet and fled down the steep slope. Sauron’s sword came round a moment too late.
As Frodo scrambled down the treacherous mountain side he could hear the piercing shriek of
Sauron echo off the hilltop wall.
