God I loved the movie but I didn't like having to sit all the way through it in the second row looking straight up at the screen cause we got thier late.. However since I was mostly aware of what happend in the books( I have read the Hobbit, Fellowship, and Two Towers all the way through.. I couldn't finish the whole seige of Gondor thing in Return of the King, I was kinda puttering along and I just put down the book and never got back to it. Though I sitll knew the basics of what happend even after I left off in the book.) I knew I was in for a long haul and so when the ending came near I was kinda hoping that they would go all Hollywood and cut out a lot of the ending part (Though I knew that would probably not be the case as they had treated the books with such respect so far.)
However the last scene of the movie was absoulutly unneeded, the movie should have ended when Frodo left on the ship. And when your staring up at a huge movie screen with a crik in your neck and a dire need to go to the bathroom those seconds really start to count lol.
And if some of those scenes weren't pandering to the slashers in the audience, I just don't know what the hell the hell else they were thinking they were doing lol..
Personally I think it would be really great if they went back and did the Hobbit, It was my favorite of the Tolkien books that I had read. As long as they have the great production values that they had for the Trilogy it would rock..
I had good seats so neck cricks weren't a problem. But my knees fell asleep, so I had to limp out of the theater.
Even the books can be very slashy, though the movie didn't have to change anything to pander to slashers. It's not like I'm complaining....
Several friends have mentioned a desire to see The Hobbit go the movie route. Since Holloywood tends to respond to movies making a lot of money by pushing a lot of similar product out afterward, I think it's possible that we'll get it sometime.
Don't get me wrong I am totally not complaining about the pandering to the slashers as I am one... lol I just meant that there were scenes in the movie that if they weren't pandering I just don't know what the hell else they were actually thinking about when they filmed and put together the scenes lol..
