I just saw fellowship on video and thought it was fantastic.
You are no uber dork... there are LOTS of normal people who have booked out the gold class cinema's here for weeks after christmas to watch this movie.

I <font color=green>ENVY</font color=green> you man.

Well...I've easily seen it over 20 times. I am getting the extended version for hubby for Christmas. Our theatres in town do NOT have a midnight showing (grrrr)...so we have to wait until 3:00pm tomorrow.

LOVE this movie!! Oh..and we've got the trailer for the Two Towers on the desktop of our pc and have watched it multiple times!!!

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee....I can't WAIT!!!

No your not a dork unless you wear camouflage..please see <A HREF="http://forumz.tomshardware.com/community/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&p=25889#25889" target="_new">here</A>. I wish I was going tonight but I have to work tomorrow and I don't want to be up till 3am. So I'm going tomorrow night at 10:45pm and I'm drooling to go. I wish I got throught the book in time but I only got to the part where Gandalf and everyone is confronting Saruman at Isengard. I saw the first film 3 times the first 2 days it was out and I've watched it about 6 more times since then. I just love the Balrog scene. I heard that The Two Towers opens with Gandalf falling and explaining what happened to him. Scammy I also have the regular DVD and the extended...I just can't get enough of all things Lord of the Rings!!! Bless J.R.R.T for writing it!!!

Well I'm going to try and read some more tomorrow at work. Hopefully we won't be busy. Even if I don't finish I'm still going to read it after I see the movie and I will definitely finish The Return of the King before next year.

No I don't wear camo. Actually, the only time in my life (besides maybe when I was 6 wearing GI Joe clothers) I actually wore camoflauge was when I went paintballing. Friend did military surplus auctions so there was plenty to go around. Swiss camo is kinda cool though... Anyways...

Ya the trailers been getting my knickers in a bunch too bad to have to wait. Really, the reason I'm seeing it at midnight is because I want to see it with friends, but tomorrow none can do it and won't be able to until like Friday, and that's just way too late to see it.

About the trailer... Does anyone get reminded of Warcraft III from some of the stuff it shows? Huntresses, treants, doom guards? Maybe that's what makes me the uber-dork... HAHA

I would, but looming exams and horrifying crowds at the cinema tend to put me off going. Besides, I read the books years ago so I can't exactly find out any spoilers by waiting to go see it. Good luck to you, though.

I only saw it two times... but I want to buy the DVD or video.

Well I do envy you for having seen it already. I think we have to wait for one month before it comes to theatres here. Maybe I'll get it dvd ripped before, but still I'm going to the movies.

IMHO, on the contrary, the bridge of Khazad-dum and the secret council at rivendell really looked crappy and They should have invested more in perfecting them like other parts of the movie.

btw, can anyone explain to me why dwarves hate elves? "Gimli: I will be dead before I see the ring in the hands of an elf".

On dwarves and elves, I'm not a big Tokein historian but I know both of 'em have hated eachother for looong time, the dwarves are greedy live underground, the elves are the opposite. Also, I think the dwarves brought down alot of elven kingdoms b/c they wanted wealth.

Reading all three of those books took like a year for me. And sometimes it seems like this: "Lord Kallorhan of Bloderon lead the Riders of Dragangaon to the Kingdom of Kurk'hai in the Valley of Tellederon with his Blade of Xalegon." If i hadn't read the books I'd be so confused I'd start crying.

So far critics say it's great, better than first, and Gollum is very well rendered, and there are some differences from the book. I'm seeing it Fri. Too many hardcore Tolkein nerds are probably crowding the theatures today.

No thanks my fellow North American, I can relate!

Wusy. I'm gonna come to New Zealand and stomp your ass.

Well...I guess I'm in the minority.
I was very disappointed. But I'm a huge fan of the books, and have read all three twice in the last year.

There are some MAJOR departures from the book that just puzzled me. It was hard for me to appreciate all the good stuff in the movie though (and there WAS plenty of great action, and Gollum was really good), because I was so perplexed as to why they would change the story the way they did.

Just my opinion...maybe after more of you have seen it we can start a new thread about it...

was anyone else pissed that they put that god damned elve chick in there? she wasn't even mentioned in the second book and she was only in one paragraph of the first book, in the movie she takes over the part of another elve and what pissed me off the most about the first movie was there was no tombombadil... just being a dedicated fan I suppose

Yes...that surprised me. On the way home from the theatre, my husband and I were wondering how long it would take for the outcry of the diehard community to hit the fan. But, when I got home and checked the internet, it was mostly either good reviews or non-committal statements about the departure from the book.

I was disappointed in a way, didn't get any validation!

We'll still buy it when it comes out of course, but it sure makes me wonder how they're going to fit certain things into the 3rd movie...and wonder how they're going to end it.

Well I only read the first book yet (will read the second after the movie) but if I'm right the dwarves caused all the bad things around Moria that caused major problems for the elves too.

It was a great movie but to me the biggest disappointment was that they tarnished Faramir's character. He is supposed to be someone from the race of men that doesn't fall for the desire for the ring. I was also disappointed they didn't put Shebol's lair in the movie, I was really looking forward to that, oh well, another year and I'll see what they did with it.

<b>Just because I like AMD or Intel more at a time because of one product compared to another, does not make me a fan boy, it makes me a person who is able to make a descision for myself.</b>

LOL... well atleast you where awake during the movie. I can't wait till I see it Monday.
