Lord of the Rings

It is sad, isn't it? I can't watch certain parts without getting depressed. XD Of LotR overall, I mean.

I know what you mean.

When everything was culminating- final battle beginning, Frodo and Sam climbing Mt. Doom... my heart was beating so fast and I even knew what was going to happen. xD

I think that reading the books first was definitely a good choice, it added such depth to the story when I finally got to see the the movies.

Bringing back this topic because I LOVE LOTR!!!!!! I watched the last one a few weeks ago....by far my favorite. It was AMAZING. I looooove the LOTR series!!! I desperately want to read the books...I will as soon as I get time!!

My favorite characters:
Legolas
Aragorn
Frodo
Sam
Arwen
Eowyn
Legolas
Legolas

Aragorn

Did I mention I like Legolas?

That's AWESOME JC!!!! I LOVE the LOTR trilogy as well! I agree, the third is the best of the trilogy, it's so amazing! The books are just as amazing; the movie's did such a good job bringing the books to life. They are some of my favorite books, I hope you enjoy them when you read them
My favorite characters are - Eowyn, Frodo, Sam, Legolas, Pippin, Merry, Gandalf, Aragorn, Faramir, Gimli, and Boromir.
Yes, a lot of girls I know like Legolas XD.

Yesss, you've seen them all now! So glad you like it, and do read the books soon! They are so awesome.

Yes yes!!! I want to soon!!! They sound/look amazing.
LEGOLASSSS <3333333

So... Has anyone claimed Aragorn? Cuz if not, I do.

Two of my friends own all three extended-edition LotR movies. A week before "The Hobbit" came out, we all watched a week-end long marathon of LotR. I loved it, but it wore me out by the end of RotK. My favorite character would probably be Sam. In my opinion, he's more of a hero than Frodo. Speaking of "The Hobbit", has anyone seen it yet? I did, and it was AWESOME!!!

I just finished the last of the original LotR trilogy- it was AMAZING. I'm so so so happy everyone got a happy ending for the most part. I'm still giggly/fangirly because I'm happy Aragorn (edit: whoops- this whole time i thought his name was "aragon" and it's "aragorn". lol) got to get back to his elf girl and that Sam got married. ^-^ One of my favorite dynamics of the plot/story were the friendships and how they were tested over the course of events and yet came out strong. I didn't actually cry at all, but that's because I don't normally cry while watching movies/shows, though I got a little emotional in some parts.

But yeah, so happy. I want to see "the Hobbit" now! maybe I should go catch it before it's out of the theater

That's awesome, Blue!!! Glad you enjoyed the movies!! I agree, they are wonderful and amazing!!
Yes, you must go see The Hobbit!!! It's so very awesome!!

I for sure will see it eventually, the question is just whether or not I'll be able to catch it in theater

If you can, I'd recommend watching it in the theater but it'll be good no matter what screen you see it on(I watched the LOTR and Star Wars on a regular TV and it turned out fine)
Who are your favorite characters?

Yeah I really think it'd be fun to see it in the theater!

My favorite characters are Frodo, Sam, Pippen, Merry, Legolas, and Aragorn. At times, I also liked Smeagol; I feel bad for him.

Awesome!! Those are my favorite characters too, plus Eowyn, Faramir, Boromir, Gandalf, and Gimli I also felt bad for Smeagol at times

out of all of them though, the hobbits are definitely my favorites. They're just so adorable!

I agree, the Hobbits were wonderful!! They really were the heroes of Middle Earth

There's just something about them (I think it's their size) that makes them so adorable, but yet they've still got what it takes to be heroes. It's different yet I would say nice compared to the tall, strong other warriors (though there's nothing wrong with them! ) I was cheering for Merry and whatever-her-name-is when they were in the battle together! (seriously, what's her name... XD)

I agree, I always like seeing different kinds of heroes(of course, nothing wrong with the tall warriors). Her name was Eowyn

Yeah, her! She had some really great parts

I agree! She was one of my favorite characters!!

Best part with her was when the dark whatever-it-is (XD) that was riding the flying thing said that no man could kill him, and she was all like "I'm no man"!

I love that part!! I remember thinking that was such a cool scene when I first watched it(he was the Witch King).

Oh haha ok yeah that guy. =P I'm terrible at new names, terms, species, spellings, etc. when it comes to being introduced into a new universe xD

I finished the first two movies without having read the books!

They were both really good and epic! They seem unusual to me because they have like 1000000000000 battles throughout and it seems more like a continual narrative instead of a single conflict and resolution throughout.

Also, I get confused. XD In The Two Towers, why does everybody want to attack Rohan? If Rohan is such a giant country, why doesn't it have an army(and why is its capital city like a mountain with 10 houses) Why attack Rohan first?

Where did Arwen go with the cloak and lanterns? Why was it such a big deal that she leave Aragorn and go there? Couldn't she come back and visit? XD
Do elves live for ever and if they live forever and keep having babies how do they not overrun the earth(or middle earth XD0

I'm glad I'm finally getting to see them! My favorite characters are Aragorn and Legolas <3

Bahahaha Amaranthine, you make so many good and valid points- i never thought of any of those and i still loved them.... I also am not informed enough to give any theories to your points XD
