Man, I sure didn't expect Frodo to...
[edit]Until an admin changes the thread title, the title of the thread is meant to be sarcastic. You know, kinda like what they did in that one Simpsons episode.
Seriously though, what did everyone else think of Return of the King? Personally, I can't really find anything wrong with it. Some of the people I saw it with this evening thought the ending was drawn out. Yeah, it was, but when you're closing such an indepth trilogy, I personally think its better to end all the stories right than to leave the viewer saying, "but what happened to so-and-so...?" What do you guys think? Last edited by DanL : 17-12-2003 at 23:49.

Re: Man, I sure didn't expect Frodo to die and Gollum to actually be Sarumon!
It would've been nice to have Sharkey and his goons at the end, but seeing as I was one of the ones that thought it was a bit drawn out, I guess I see why it was cut
 .Overall, someone please kill me now, because there will never be another movie that is so amazing. Just the scenes set around Minas Tirith, wow. So amazing! Plus, gotta love all the random commentary from Ben... Sam sure needs to get a livejournal...

[edit] Well, the new vB still doesn't allow thread starters to change the name of the thread, and I tried to delete this but only came up with a bug in the forum. Perhaps an admin can help me out and rename this thread to something like, "Man, I sure didn't expect Frodo to..." Last edited by DanL : 17-12-2003 at 23:42.

Re: Man, I sure didn't expect Frodo to die and Gollum to actually be Sarumon!
I read the trilogy two years ago, and my favorite aspect was that the story had that kind of drawn-out ending (that it concluded the 'what happened to them next?' idea)
I haven't seen the third movie yet, but I'm glad to hear that they kept that ending and didn't abruptly end the movie right after the climax (I HATE it when writers do that!) I'll probably go see it this weekend.

I loved the cameo by Sloth.
  No, but seriously, great movie. It made having to stay up for 32 hours worth it.

Re: Man, I sure didn't expect Frodo to ... **POSSIBLE SPOILERS**
I thought the RotK was a terrific trailer for the director's cut!
Seriously, I feel Jackson has defined the criteria for an A+ movie rating with this one. The charge of the Rohirrim gave me chills, not for the special effects, great as they are, but for the way Jackson captured the grim determination of Theoden, Eomer and the other live characters. I am continually amazed at how closely Jackson's view of Middle Earth landmarks match my mental images I developed reading (and re-reading) the trilogy.
