I like two towers the best,gotta love that battle scene

Toast

I love em all but TTT is slightly better than the ohthers, Fellowship I think is too character based, and ROTK has too many highs and lows story and character wise, TTT is a good balance

The Two Towers.

The Battle at Helm's Deep is the single greatest battle scene in any movie ever.

The two towers was boring for me.

The best in my opinion:

1. Fellowship..
2. ROTK
3. 2 towers

i like return of the king the best but i think the best one is the fellowship of the ring..

I'm not sure of the names of the battles, other than the "Battle of Helm's Deep" in 'The Two Towers', but wasn't the "Siege of Gondor" the fight scene with all the green goblin ghost things (excuse the spider-man liason)? I think that part was, although well done, too easy of a win for the good side. A swarm of green ghosts over a large group of Orcs (?) made it pretty anticlimatic. Even though RotK was pretty good. The "Battle of Helm's Deep" was awesome because it was just people killing other people with swords and arrows. No ghosts.

'The Two Towers' is my fave, followed by 'Return of the King', then followed by the first LotR movie.

Well in the book the Seige of Gondor, also known as the Battle of the Pellennor Fields, the ghosts did appear, but the battle was longer than that. The theatrical version of RotK majorly cut down on battle scenes, the Extended Edition has much more.

They were all filmed at the exact same time... the only thing your voicing you opinion on, is what third of the story was your personal favorite. i liked the siege alot, but nothing beats elves slaying uruk-hai in the middle of the night, in style, helms deep gets my vote for the battles. Movies though, you gotta love ROTK, everything gets resolved, the whole big tradegy comes to an end. (Know what stinks? Elves barely made an appearence in helms deep until the end of the battle, atleast in the book.)

lpassailant
12-26-2004, 02:52 PM
okay, i'll try one last time... It's not much of a vote because the original lord of the rings was one big book... the way he filmed it, it was also one big movie, then cut into thirds... I think it's unfair to vote on which of the thirds is your favorite because that vote is only asking which section of lord of the rings did you like? I personally like the lord of the rings as is, not a particular third of it. However, this wasn't meant to start an argument, so to get you all to shut it, my favorite was the return of the king. are we done yet?

Frodo leaves because he cant find happiness in Middle Earth anymore after all hes seen. He goes to the Grey Havens and across the sea to find a new, innocent world.

Because he was put through so much in that world that he couldnt regain his old life. He liked how his life was before the journey, so he figured if he goes to a new place, he might finally be happy, finally at peace.




Plus its a metaphor for death.

From the appendices, this what I got:

Frodo, Gandalf, Bilbo, Elrond, Galadriel and Celeborn: Last to leave from the Grey Havens.
Sam: Marries Rosie and has 13 (!) kids, he named some Frodo, Merry, Pippin, Bilbo just to name a few. He becomes mayor of Hobbiton 7 times. When really old, he goes to the Grey Havens and passes over the sea. (Because he carried the ring for a short period of time, he's included with the Ringbearers)
Merry: Becomes the Master of Buckland. I don't think he marries. When he's really old he and Pippin go to Edoras just before Eomer dies. After he dies, they go to Minas Tirith and die there.
Pippin: Gets married and has one kid named Faramir. He becomes a "Thain" (don't know what that is, though it's a high honour or something). Goes with Merry when really old.
Aragon: Becomes king (obiviously) marries Arwen (obiviously), has a son and three daughters. When he dies, Arwen goes to the abandoned forests of Lorien and whithers away there.
Legolas and Gimli: After Aragon dies Legolas builds a boat and takes Gimli with him to sail over the sea where the other elves are. This was allowed only because of the great friendship him and Legolas had.
Eomer: Becomes King of Rohan and marries someone.
Eowyn and Faramir: Really don't know what happened to them. All I know is that they became Gardeners or something...

Note: When I say that the Hobbits were old I mean they were like, 102.

EDIT: Right, well, I typed that out and remembered I didn't answer the question. I'll go with the Fellowship, because Hobbiton is amazing.
