Re: OT - Return of the King trailer

I'm still a bit miffed at how they mangled Faramir's character in Two Towers. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon8.gif All I can say is that Pete Jackson had better have done a stupendous job with ROTK.

Re: OT - Return of the King trailer

I agree with you on Faramir, GW. They have also taken a lot of liberty with Arwen's part in the story.

Still, they are doing a better job than anyone else has managed. I'm looking forward to the release, and I'm sure I'll buy the super duper director's extra special collectors complete DVD set when it comes out (along with a few other copies along the way). I'm usually immune to the marketing tricks that get you to buy multiple copies of the same movie, but I suspect that I will play the sucker for these movies.

Re: OT - Return of the King trailer

mangled how? he always struck me as being only a notch or two less tempted than his brother. Faramir, i mean.

Re: OT - Return of the King trailer

He never took Frodo and Sam to Osgiliath. He agreed to help them when they asked back at the secret hideout. The movie portrays Faramir as an entirely different person than he was in the books.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">I'll certainly grant him that - no more bad animations ever again! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif And most of the changes PJ has made (not having Bombadil, super-Arwen, etc) I could easily live with. But something about the Faramir sequence really stuck in my craw. And the Ent episode...

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">I had a few reservations about the first movie - seeing the extended Version removed them entirely. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif I too will be getting the extended Version of TTT when it comes out, but I'm less expectant that the things I had problems with in the theatrical release can be cured with additional footage. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

Re: OT - Return of the King trailer

You can now find locations for, and buy tickets for the extended movie showings and the back-to-back showings in December: link

Re: OT - Return of the King trailer

The one thing I didn't like about TTT was that they stopped about a chapter or two too soon. They stopped at the battles, and never showed Frodo, Sam and Gollum's journey past the gate. Can't wait for ROTK to come out. And I"m also waiting for the super-duper DVD to come out next month.
