Lord of the Rings
 
I have seen the movie recently, but I still have to read the book.
I want to know if the cinematographic version is loyal to the original or not.

Pu the Owl Feb 9th, 2002 02:42 PM

Obviously there are some differences, because a cinematographic version can't be 100% identical to the book.
But in this case the movie is quite loyal to the original version.

I never read the book because I hate reading, but after I saw the movie I emediatly wanted to find the book so that I could go through the whole thing the way it was originally meant to be.

The movie was awesome. I'm sure the book will be just as good.

The books are very good. I've finished the Hobbit, and am 2 1/2 chapters from the end of the Fellowship of the Ring. VERY good. Must read.

As soon as I heard the movie was coming out I bought the books. I was able to finish all by the movie premier here in NY and the movie is loyal to the book. It changes small things and ommits some characters. I think it was done because of the time, trust me...it was long enough but if they fit in as much detail as Tolkein put in from the jump, theaters would need to hose people down every few hours to keep em awake.
The book is wayyy better than the movie, and I loved the movie. You'll apreciatte the movie ten times over when you finish The Return of The King.:eek: Great Read

Spirit Feb 10th, 2002 12:37 AM

yes I loved the movie, one of the best if not the best I've ever seen. I really want to see the other movies/read the books but I don't have a lot of spare time on my hands. Recently I want to find images of the movie/book but I just can't find any really good ones (such as the intro images :( )

Hylas Feb 10th, 2002 04:05 AM

I think the movie is very loyal to the book. They had to cut some aspects and details, but the book was long and detailed, so they couldn't put every sinlge thing in the movie.
Anyway, a must read! You should get your copy now!!!!

Pearl Feb 10th, 2002 06:22 AM

I have the books but I've only read the first part of the trilogy.
I must read the other ones before the movies come out!

Soul Angel Feb 10th, 2002 06:21 PM

I've watched the movie and thought it was pretty good :)
But I've never bothered reading the books though

Spirit Feb 10th, 2002 11:46 PM

yea that's true, b/c we don't have time we miss out on the great books out there, gosh I wish we had to read them in class or something :P

jenova_jeb Feb 11th, 2002 01:09 AM

I love it when I have to read awesome books for school. It's so great. Awesome stories, great entertainment, and I'm accomplishing something at the same time. YAHOO!:D

I had to bring this Thread back up as i have just finished reading LOTR the two towers (the 2nd one :D)
And i think its better than the 1st one, the book is huge, took me ages to read had to finish it off on my Holiday i was that addicted to it.
Anybody that likes LOTR ..... BUY THE BOOK!!
Cant wait for the film :)

jenova_jeb Feb 22nd, 2002 02:19 PM

Yeah, I'm reading the Two Towers right now. I agree, it's better than the first. I love this series! Kudos to J.R.R. Tolkein!!

Smokey Mcpot Feb 22nd, 2002 02:29 PM

Yea the intro was awesome, with the battle seen at mordor. I downloaded the movie but i didnt watch the whole thing. It had crappy quality, so i'm waitin' for the dvd to come out.:p
I definitely think this movie is better than gladiator was,**** easily.:D

jenova_jeb Feb 22nd, 2002 02:32 PM

Whoah! Where can you download the movie?:confused:
