i must admit that all of the scenes that stared Aragorn (Viggo Mortensen) were the absolute best and have been worn out by my dvd player Having said that, the entire movie was "bloody brilliant" (as quoted in Harry Potter) and i cannot wait until i have a day where i can watch all three together Cheerio now

ah! I know what you mean there, mate! It's mostly Orlando Bloom (The famous British star that I oh so love!) is where I wear out my vcr and dvd. Viggo Mortenson is as wonderful too. Cherrio mate and hugs to you!

Hmm best scenes, worst scenes. I liked the fight with the balrog and the cave troll. those were cool, and I also loved Lothlorien and Rivendell, the way the sets were built were totally magnificent!
As for worst scenes, that's hard. I don't really know. Aw yes, when Aragorn kissed Boromir, ew, I hated it.

i think my most favoritest scene in FOTR was the Aragorn's Dream scene. i absolutely love Arwen's dress in that one. another one of my favoritest scene is the CoE and Legolas' first line. actually, i think that any scene with Orly Bloom (my lover), Viggo, and Liv, are my favoritest scenes.

I'd have to say that (one) of my favorite scenes is our first glimpse of Rivendell. I have to say that that is probably when I fell in love with the movie. It was just so beautiful!!
I honestly can't say that I think that any part of the movie was the "worst". To me everything seemed to mold together, helping create the main plot, introduce the characters, and establish friends and foes.
Nope, no complaints here! ;D

I'd have to say that (one) of my favorite scenes is our first glimpse of Rivendell. I have to say that that is probably when I fell in love with the movie. It was just so beautiful!! Couldn't get enough of the elves actually. The set designs were so elaborate. Lorien was also incredible. Before this film I didnt think much of elves, but then i had visualizing them like what Tolkien did. Been too influenced into thinking of them as the stereotype like the in the film Elf. I had read the Hobbit before but couldnt quite picture them as tall warriors. FOTR was a revelation in this respect. It showed them as the amazing ageless beings who benefit from the strength and wisdom they draw from the rings. Their culture is beyond anything that man or dwarf could achieve. It was good that a bit of the last alliance was shown at the start of the film, because the elves see much action in the book. The part in TTT where Haldir and men show up at helms is interesting for the sake of showing the archers, but ultimately not accurate to the book. I like the way the shire is depicted, a lot of ppl would like to live there. However, i didnt like so much the way the dvd extended version had so much added footage of hobbits and little more on elves and men. I thought with 30 added minutes, he could have put some more scenes of rivendell and lorien so that we can appreciate more of the artwork that went into them. The scenes with Arwen seem a bit tacked on, even more so in ROTK where they seem to interrupt the flow of the story. She looks fine and all and her costumes are nice but the lines are a little sugary. Legolas is a great character. His lines get more contrived as the saga progresses but he is always great to watch in action. Wish they had shown more of him using the knives. Apparently he did a lot of practise with them but they are hardly seen in the film. Overall, ths is my favorite instalment as more time is given to the characters in the fellowship before all the big battle set pieces take over.

Aredhel is right, I think PJ makes Frodo look like a little whimp, but in the book, Frodo is quite strong in his desicion making and he absolutely loves mushrooms. Though, sometimes , and I might have misinterpreted the book, but Frodo seems kind of mean sometimes with little things here and there that he says. The movie makes him look really sweet (which i guess he is). For example, Frodo goes (in the book) "THOSE ARE MY MUSHROOMS I FOUND THEM AND THEY ARE ONLY MINE DON'T TOUCH THEM!" And I'm like... WHOA..... settle down there, lad. LOL Mabey I'm just no good at interpreting books! Lady Larien Tinuviel

Yeah, about the whole Frodo thing, I agree partly. For the book he was much more sure of himself, but as much as I hate to say it, I kinda agree with PJ on one account. Sometimes when you are making a book into a movie, you can't do the same things in the movie that were done in the book. It's hard to explain, but it's just like that. I'm actually writing a bit of a story myself, and one thing I've discovered is that you have to give certain characters personalities that will make the reader either sympathetic of them, learn to hate them, etc. I think what PJ was trying to do for Frodo is make him even more unlikely of being a hero (which I think is exactly what Tolkien was trying to do in the first place), and so that's why he wasn't so strong in the beginning of the trilogy. But as he learned from all the experiences that he had (like dealing with the Uruk-hai, Boromir and Gandalf's deaths (or his supposed death), he grew and matured. For a time I really believe that he blamed himself for both of their deaths. That's probably why he wanted to go to Mordor by himself. Good thing that Sam was there to change his mind about that!! ~ Nienna

Nienna, Yah I think you are right. I am not saying that Frodo is all mean and everything, LOL, I just suck at interpreting books! ;)I have a question...at school my speeches are coming up. What should I do the topic on? Do I hear LoTR? Yeah I would love to only problem is that I wrote a speech already on them because I already love it so much. Okay everyone...I need some serious advice....what should I do my speech on? Thanks for your help.... Lady Larien Tinuviel

wow, best scene worst scene... for FotR, I'd have to say my fave scene was the whole arwen riding experience. I know that she was not doing that in the book, but I actually think that that experience would have fit her personality.
