Post by: dtango on December 13, 2003, 12:23:02 AM: Man I am so stoked about this movie! Being a hardcore Tolkien fan (yes yes, Filmamir bugged me a little, thought Theoden was a little too wimpy in TTT etc.) I've been trying to temper my anticipation and haven't been paying attention to most reviews about it though I understand it appears many are glowing.

I had the lid on it until I read the following posts from someone attending the Berlin premiere - 99% spoiler free except for one teeny eency mention that he forewarns you about so you can skip it (link provided below)!

Post by: AKIron on December 13, 2003, 01:07:27 AM: I'm anxious to see this movie and almost willing to sit in a theatre crowded with elves and dwarves. A long wait and/or line nixes it for me though. Think I'll be doing the same as MT.

Faramir.......And I liked his 'Time for Faramir to show his Quality'...just wait for the 3rd movie.....he should be in there more.

Post by: AVRO1 on December 14, 2003, 06:46:38 AM: I am also a big Tolkien fan.
I was pissed when I got out of TTT because of Faramir.

If Faramir had let them go then they would have been out of the rest of the movie.
And it would also have made the ring look weak to people who did not read the books.
It is suppose to be really powerfull, so it should affect him.

Love this quote from Faramir:
"I would not ensnare even an orc in falsehood."

In Tolkien's books, people who lie are easier to deceive.

Peter Jackson had to take into consideration all the people who have not read the books for is movies.

It was a necessary compromise.

Post by: Ghosth on December 14, 2003, 10:43:02 AM: I'll wait a week or 2, then catch it on a early sunday showing.

Be fun to belt on "sting" & go in costume but its probably not worth it.
