It was epic!

Or was it epic-er?

byujacob

It contains fewer heinous story changes

Paths of the Dead, no Entmoot, Sam in Minas Ithil, Scouring of the Shire

Why do you mention the Scouring of the Shire when it was cut?

byujacob

3/30/15 3:16pm

Never said it was movie-only anywhere. I prefer the books.

GuitarGuy

You're right. My bad. I assumed since people saw me linking the previous thread

Agree with GuitarGuy. Are you referring to the eagles specifically?

No I'm referring to the Battle at Pelennor Fields and the Dead Men of Dunharrow.

byujacob

3/30/15 3:15pm

I can agree with that.

flavordave

3/30/15 3:16pm

No, no, no, no, no

CoopDizz

I'll agree to disagree with you there.

byujacob

From a storytelling standpoint, it's better to have contrasts and foils

CoopDizz

3/30/15 3:30pm

Calm down. No one said anything about knowing more than anyone else.

byujacob

3/30/15 3:36pm

I'm fine. When you're an author making a general statement about writing . . .

CoopDizz

3/30/15 3:46pm

That's fair enough, but I am not a film maker, and I was referring to the film

byujacob

'preciate the clarification

CoopDizz

Yeah I don't like how Faramir tries to take them to Gondor. It cracks me up when

That's a good point about the ghosts, never thought of that

Never underestimate Tolkien purist rage

True. See my response to flavordave.

Would've been nice to have a scene with Tauriel and Fili/Kili? holding hands and

byujacob

. . . until Jack and Sawyer show up, putting Tauriel in a dilemma spanning 110

They had enough of elf/dwarf love triangle in Hobbit *rolls eyes*

Because the TT was a bridge movie. A very good one, but still a bridge.

3/30/15 4:31pm

Interesting thoughts.

Yeah, but Empire Strikes Back.

Are you claiming Temple of Doom wasn't the best Indiana Jones movie?

Shimmy

touche.

I don't know...but I liked RotK the best. Maybe had more emotions I could relate
