ROTK Empire Review

[smilodon]

I have just seen ROTK at the mighty Odeon Leicester Square with Chimpy.

And to be honest I'm rather annoyed. I seem to have developed dry spots on my tongue !

That's what happens when you spend three and a half hours in a cinema with your mouth wide open.

Gay hobbits?  Maybe there's a Tolkenian sub-text that we're all missing. Or maybe we should accept that platonic love between two hobbits is something unremarkable and common-place in Middle Earth.

I was actually hoping Arwen and Eowyn would fight for the heart of Aragorn........naked.....in the mud..............sorry

Just seen it was very good but like when i read the books i enjoyed 2 the most.

The ending was drawn out but so was the book, what was very nearly lengthened was the bloke's jaw behind me who got bored and started whistling....which a swift Shut the F**k up kinda sorted him out.....

I saw it on wednesday really enjoyed it very good special effects dont want to say too much will spoil it for others on a vote Arwen or Eowyn? Im going with Eowyn what a sweet body  :dribble: . Made me laugh in a few places like mirah tirah think thats how u spell it when those huge orges came through the door stand your ground men yeah right>>>runnnnnn. Very enjoyable film didnt look at my watch once. Was expecting a 15 min break in the middle so glad there wasnt one. Cant wait for the extended version to come out.

Actually this has been discussed in some length for years, far before the films.  I remember reading one of those "revision" books when I was doing A Level Eng Lit, and bought the guide to LOTR on a whim (beats the crap out of reading the guide to "Mansfield Park" and "An Inspector Calls" )

If I remember rightly there was a lot of discussion about it being based somewhere around Tolkiens days at Oxford - his time at the university there forms the basis for a lot of the work in the LOTR and the Hobbitt.  For example the trees in the wood outside of the Shire, cut from the 1st film, and the fact they can move and are alive is based on him thinking this up while watching a similar grove of trees from a window when he was taking an exam at Oxford once.  My brother went to Oxford and actually had a friend who stayed in the same room as Tolkien and if you peeled back the wallpaper in the room you could see his "elvish" scribblings as he doodled the language.

I'm a mine of useless knowledge.......

Where, in your imagination, is Middle-earth?

Welcome to the Lord of the Rings research project â€" the largest international audiences project ever undertaken. We want to find out how film-goers across the world are responding to the final part of the trilogy.

It is very rare for film viewers to be listened to. We are researchers in universities across the world who are trying to remedy this. In particular we are very interested in the issue of ‘fantasy’. Politicians, moralists, critics often try to tell us whether this is good for us. We want your views on this. We want to know how it matters to you. There are no gimmicks, no prizes for completing our questionnaire. But by completing it, you will be adding to everyone’s understanding. What did The Lord of the Rings do for you? Why do films like this matter to you? What do you hope for in them?

This is not commercial research. We have met with New Line Cinema and explained what we are doing, but we are completely independent of them. Eventually we will publish all our findings. This is the biggest project like this there has ever been â€" so it will take some time to analyse all the materials we are gathering. But everything we learn will become your property when we have finished.

It will take you just a few minutes to fill in the questionnaire. Thanks! And if you point some other people to it, we will be very grateful!! We are hoping for more than 100,000 responses.

If you would like to read more about the research before completing the questionnaire, please click here …

Top film but having left out the Shire and Saruman ending from the book, the film should have finished once frodo had finished writing the book. Shut the book, ba-dum all finito. Then I would have had time to go for a pint before having to run for the last train as well!
No excellent film tho, top stuff. If you could combine Arwen's face with Eowyn's body, wayheyhey! I'd actually give both my legs just to....

Stop there I think.

Good film
