w00t!!! It comes out wednesday! :D I'm pre-ordering the tickets today. muahaha!

Although I'm really excited... I'm kind of dissapointed. They are leaving out a chapter or two at the end of the book. Saruman has been cut out of the last movie entirely too. So I'm wondering if it will stay true to the book. But even if it don't, it'll still make an awesome movie! :D

Anywho, is anyone else going to see it on the first day?

Not me, but I really do want to :(

i looooove lotr. i'm so excited to see the last one. gollum is my favorite :P

I made my dad stop talking for a minute while the ad was playing, hehe. I've been trying to convince my mum to let me go to the first screening, but she won't since it's a school night. I am seeing it the day it comes out, but not the minute it comes out. My friend got to see the first screening or the Two Towers last year. Lucky..

I've got bball after school everyday, then I have homework and dinner and everything. I'll probably see it this weekend because my sister's coming home from college :)

Considering how much they left out of the second one, they'd almost have to or else it would be much too long of a movie :P Not that many people would mind, of course.

Does anyone know how long this one is supposed to be? I've heard just over three hours to almost four, so I'm curious which is more true.

I'm not sure if I'll be going on Wednesday night or not. Most likely not, though I would like to. It all depends on if the local theatre will actually have it or not, and if my mum will allow me to stay up 'that late' on a school night :P I'll have to find out what other people are doing.

I'm seeing it midnight on Tuesday :D

I want to see it *points to siggy* but...in a way, I don't want to see it...like I don't want it to end. Do you know what I mean?

Theres a theatre near my school, so as soon as schools out, Im going to try to see it. I dont mind the lines, I was in a huge line for the Two Towers last year...as long as I get to see the movie, Ill be happy.

Not me, but I really do want to :(

really?? :( oh wow, Saruman completely cut out?? Ugh, i have to finish reading the last few chapters now:D

I have a choir concert. Yipee! I'm not that big of a fan to see the first screening. Even my dad and brother(who have read the books and are much bigger fans) think it is kinda rediculous to see it at that time. Eh.

:lol:

I doubt I'll ever see it then

A nice 3 hours and 50 minutes. :lol: This would probably be a 4 and a half hour movie with saruman in it. And my mom didn't like the idea of seeing it at midnight and getting home at 4. So I'll see it in the afternoon, I think.

I tried getting tickets for wednesday afternoon (we were plotting to skip classes) but the tickets were long sold out. I'm going to get weekend tickets tomorrow though, so I'm super excited :D

A bunch of people in orchestra wanted to skip school to see it, but we have an orchestra concert tomorrow, and they won't let them play if they skip. So I'm afraid poor Jeff will have to sit through the day ringless. :lol:

I have no intentions of seeing it (didn't see any of the others, nor have I read the books), but I just felt like mentioning this :P

apparently a local radio station is doing something rather cool (I think, and that's even though I won't be participating :P) tomorrow: show up at the movie theatre tomorrow morning at 8:00 with a canned good to be donated to a local food bank, and you get in to see the movie for free :P

o_0 ...I wish they'd do that here....donate canned food and get in free...

I dunno when i am going to see it cause i dunno when it comes out in the cinema near me but i soooooo wanna see it gollum and aragorn are soooooo kool i soooooo don't want it to be over :(

I saw it last niiiiiiiight, nyah nyah!

It was amazing. You won't be disappointed :D

Now that ain't fair! :P

My mom didn't wanna stay up 'till 4:00 a.m and no one else I know that has a car would either. :( So I shall see it like everyone else.. lol

Is it sad that I knew most of the people in the theatre? :P

Don't worry, last year I had people walk up to me in school and ask me if I was the person they had seen in the theatre, and I remembered seeing them too. (We go to a really small theatre)

Just got back from seeing it-and although I wish it had followed the book more, I really liked it.

My brother's going to see it again on Saturday..haha, geekdom owns.

Cutting class...heh...almost half of my school's population was strangely absent today...and there were only 4 people (including me) at my swim practice....hmm....at least it wasn't as bad as when the first LOTRs came out. On that day, only 15 seniors out of 300 were in school that day, and about 2/3 of each of the grades was absent as well...boy the school was empty, and it wasn't even a snow day! :lol:

However, I'm cursed not to see it until after Christmas!!! :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying:
Appearently my family is too busy to return to Middle Earth...
*wails loudly*
I wanna see it soooo badly...

We wanted an excuse to see it, so we were thinking of pleading with the fencing club coach to make it into a fencing club outing. :D

heh this morning the DJ on the radio station that did the get in free with a can thing came to the conclusion that all Lord of the Rings fans are stupid (or that they were all looking too far into it), because loads of people were e-mailing and calling him asking how it worked :P

I'd be asking about the canned thing too, that deal's a bit too good to be true.. there would have to be some sort of a catch lol

I got my tickets for Sunday afternoon, and then I'm going again on Tuesday. This is a movie that I will definitely be seeing multiple times.

OMG...I just saw it and it's GrEAT!!! :D

I havent finished reading the book:P

yay! i just saw it too last night.
It was great, the first hour was a bit of a drag but the rest was brill!

i just saw it over the weekend...it was sooo good!! i'm kind of sad though because the whole thing is over, and i have no big movie to look forward to next year :(

me and my best friend saw it last.. fri and it was good :) the end dragged.. but... yeah.

i was more interested in the elf (orlando!!) then the ring. lol, everytime any part of orlando bloom was on the screen i was like elbowing my best friend and laughing. she later said it was like i was saying "look! look! what beautiful leg of legolas! dont worry about the ring! look at his nice calves!!" lol

later i got the LotR poster :) mwahhaa and no i'm not obsessed. he's just sooo much better looking then the guys at school. lol, fresh air! j/k

but my best friend thinks Dominic (Merry, is it?) looks good. i dont see WHAT she's lookin at, but i like orlando bloom! and he's talented! lol okay this post is gonna end..

A bunch of people in orchestra wanted to skip school to see it, but we have an orchestra concert tomorrow, and they won't let them play if they skip. So I'm afraid poor Jeff will have to sit through the day ringless. :lol:

alot of people in my school DID skip school... it was crazy... they were so lucky!

I want to see it.I can't wait til' its out on video.I hate going to the movie to many long lines

*sigh* I still havent seen it....:crying:

I saw it on sunday. I spent the last hour and a half on the verge of tears (my friend spent the last hour crying), and through much of it, I was going "Aww, poor Faramir." (Won't give anything away though, for those who haven't read the book or seen the movie already.)

Wow...this keyboard sucks...

I've been horribly sick all weekend, so I haven't gotten a chance to see it yet :(

I promise I'll see it soon- my sister's a big LoTR fan so I'll go with her.. maybe tomorrow.

I haven't gotten a chance to see it either :(

I've seen it twice so far! :lol: The first time I saw it, I thought it was pretty good, but not as good as Fellowship. Then when I saw it with my Dad two days later, I completely fell in love with it! It's my favorite in the series now! :D

I AM BUYING the soundtrack, when I actually have some money.

I AM BUYING the soundtrack, when I actually have some money.Isn't it gorgeous?? I'm completely in love with it! I love the end theme song! *starts to sing*

What can you see on the horizon?
Why do the white gulls call?
Across the sea a pale moon rises-
The ships have come to carry you home.

It came out a couple days ago and I think I'm the only one who hasn't seen it :( . I'll see it sometime this Christmas holiday... I have LOTS of time ;) .

I just saw it.

I didn't even come close to crying and I cry easily! I cried for a half hour when a sheep died in a game I was playing. Then I cried more whenever someone brought up the topic. And, yet, I didn't shead a single tear during the RofK. I cried more during the Matrix: Revolutions.

None the less, it was a good movie.

ohhh. the movie that makes me cry the most is a walk to remember... ohhhh it is so sad *starts crying* :crying:

The only time I ever cried over LotR was when I was reading the Two Towers, and I thought Frodo was dead because of Shelob. Then I realized he was alive, and I stopped crying, heh.

I cried more during the Matrix: Revolutions.
I really hate how they drag out death scenes so that the character can have their final say. I was ready to at least be mildly upset (as I am when I break the chain of my favourite necklace) but then it was dragged out for something like 4 minutes..I think I was one of many people in the theatre thinking, "Shut up and die!"

Yeah. I was to busy trying not to cry and then I notced she wasn't dead yet. Yup. They dragged her death out waaaaaay to long. I also cried during the end when Neo was taken away on the big machine thing.

I should probably say something about LotR....I also thought Frodo died when the big spider thing(whatever you call it). I didn't seem to have much of and effect by it. Not even with Sam's little speech.

the only time I have ever cried during Lotr is in the movie the Fellowship Of The Rings and Aragon is talking to that man (I can not remember his name, is was one of the men from Gondor (sp?) and it starts with a B) who just got shot by the arrows and he was about to die :crying: so sad.

That was Boromir. :D (I cried, sort of)

I went to see it again yesterday! (Twice within a week) And now I'm more hooked on LOTR than ever! (YAY!!!)

My sister saw it last night, and she said it was really REALLY gorry.. she also said that the battle scenes were dragged out longer and there was less time in between each battle scene. My sister and I have really different tastes in movies though, so I still want to see it :P

I didn't think it was all that gory. Not a whole lot of blood, just people dying everywhere. I just thought it was kind of abrupt in its switching between Frodo and Sam, Rohan, and Gondor. There should have been a bit more time between the battle scenes, though.

I finally saw it! yay... I hated the ending though... the screen would fade out and you would think the movie was over but it would fade back in... then back out... then back in... they dragged in on to long... but I still love it!

I'd wait in long long lines at the movie store to buy it if I have to..:D

It is sad that it is over :( but they might come out with the Hobbit! *crosses fingers*

*sniff* I still havent seen it.....
Theres an animated version of The Hobbit. Anyone seen it?

:eek: I do not like that one

I liked it. Theres also an animated version of Lotr, but I thought it was a bit cheesy. The orcs were just a bunch shadows and stuff. >_>

we watched it on a free day in my L.A. clase.. (he is actually a cool teacher) I feel asleep it was so boring :eek: people started throwing pencils at me to wake me up... it was sort of funny :)

ANIMATED LORD OF THE RINGS IS A NO-NO! They tried to make us watch it in 5th grade. It was awful!

ANIMATED LORD OF THE RINGS IS A NO-NO! They tried to make us watch it in 5th grade. It was awful!

I know... I hate it... it was just blah... NOTE TO ALL PEOPLE! NEVER WATCH THE ANIMATED VERSIONS!

I agree with the LOTR animated one, but The Hobbit wasnt that bad...0_0

well both are a lot worse than the ones with real actors... I think every one will agree with that.

Yes...we agree with that.

I've never seen the animated versions... ok, I'm gathering I don't want to. But scarily, I've seen the theater version of return of the king 3 times now. It's good. But then... if nothing else, forgo the movies for some good ol' tolkien time!

All the LOTR copies in my house are dead :crying:. Except for my dad's special edition...but he won't let me anywhere near that.

i got to watch the return of the king with friends, and it was totally awesome! it's so cool how legolas killed the elephant... but they really didn't stick to the book...

Well, the book doesn't suit a movie plot. There's a whole lot of long, drawn out goodbyes that they got rid of...otherwise it would have been four hours long.

I think the best part was the part where Eowyn hacks the Nazgul's creature's head off. Then at some later point, the Nazgul says "No man can kill me." and Eowyn takes off her helmet, says "I am no man," and stabs him. :D

Mwuhahahahahahaha. It came out here a week or 2 ago as they had the premier here and all. I ahven't seen it yet but I'm planning on going to see it at the Embassy theatre soon which will be awesome as it has just had a 15 million dollar make over for the premier so I can't wait.

Then at some later point, the Nazgul says "No man can kill me." and Eowyn takes off her helmet, says "I am no man," and stabs him. :DFunny, yes, but you do realize that "man" in this context meant "member of the race of men" or "mankind".

*grunts*

that is not the point... it was just symbolic!

*wink* (that was my favorite part also :D)

...i just saw the very first lord of the rings movie today lol.

woa... you have been missing out!

*shoves the rest of the movies in Ayosu_ling hands*

you have to see the rest! And read the books!

They didn't show the twins * kills movie people* No twinnies :( Where is my 'Dan and 'Ro ????

I've never actually read the books as the first one is quite hard to get into because it's introducing everyone and stuff and all drawn out. I'm not sure whether I will now that I've seen the movies but who knows, I might just pick it up one day and like it.

Funny, yes, but you do realize that "man" in this context meant "member of the race of men" or "mankind".

It was also kinda ambiguous, so Eowyn was just letting the Nazgrul know that it was mistaken in one context of the word...

Don't be too picky, just enjoy the movie!

I did though. I love it and I would go see it again if I can.

I bought the soundtrack yesterday :D And it's the nice, convenient version, because the front cover-thing has Aragorn on one side and Legolas on the other :lol: The soundtrack itself is good, but I don't think it lives up to that of the Fellowship. But I like Billy Boyd (Pippin)'s song :)

But I like Billy Boyd (Pippin)'s song :)
Pippin sings beautifully.

....I'll have to get the soundtrack. :D

Seen it - I LOVE IT! Beats Harry Potter anyday!

Seen it - I LOVE IT! Beats Harry Potter anyday!

I second that notion. :D

I read the books a few years ago, but should read them again. Haven't seen ROTK yet.

I loved Pippin's song too! from now on I support Pippin and Merry!!!
I already watched the film twice! first time in german, second time the trible feature in english... I could have died... IT WAS PERFECT... but I haven't finished the book, so I can't say something about saruman... I didn't even noticed he was cut out... but I knew it since over 6 month...

:hug:
Sinem

They left out a LOT of stuff. It's been ages since I read the book (I read it in 6th grade...) so I forgot the specifics. But they left out Saruman getting chopped up in the Shire, I remember that much,
