There's a nice touch in the book, where the 'sword' Merry stabs the Witch-king with was particularly effective against him because it was a magical dagger which had been used by his enemies when the Witch-king was still a king in the north - just north of the barrow where the Hobbits got those swords. Distracted by that injury, he was open for Eowyn to kill him, though as you say, both stabs caused enormous injury to the stabbing parties too. Of course, the origin of the dagger was lost when Tom Bombadil was cut from the movie. Impossible to get everything into a movie (or even a trilogy of ridiculously long movies!), so it was inevitable that stuff like that was left out.

Of course. It's one advantage of books over movies

Like hell i will

No way at all anybody can talk me into watching something like that.

The only reason which made me watch this movie was because it was not american. And yes, I liked it.

Speaking of Pan's Labyrinth, the soundtrack was probably one the bests I've heard recently.

That is sweet, indeed.

Why?

Because i just can't take something like that seriously. Guess its all about personal taste.

Oh so that's why I'm feeling so lost looking at the last page of this thread.



I read that on wikipedia just after watching the movie

I was waiting for a hell of a battle to be happened between the fellowship of the ring and the army of Angmar to be then following by a duel between Aragorn and the witch king of Angmar.



Yea and that Eowyn finally realizes that her love for Aragorn was actually a kinda of hero-worship but in the movie we just see her beside Faramir. I really need to read the books.

You didn't read the books

You are missing out

For LOTR too

State of Play - Enjoyed it a lot, good movie. Great acting all around, intriguing plot. Movie should have been a little longer though, since some plot lines are not developed enough.
Anyone happen to catch the BBC series on which this one was based, and if so, is it worth checking out (after seeing the movie)?

I watched the first LOTR movie and naturally it was one of my worst movie experiences.

Now this is a good movie.

Yeah! Finally I have received Fred's seal of aproval


LOTR didn't really do it for me either. Sure, it's perfectly well made & it looks truly amazing (probably the best looking movies I've ever seen), but I didn't really care for any of the characters & found the storytelling a bit too clichéd.

LOTR book was awesome. Movie was good but not upto the books standard

If they had made the whole thing into a film, all 6 books (and yes i mean 6 (7if you include the appendicies)) it would last about 18 hours if not more. I think Jackson did a great job.

I watched The Big Lebowski last night again for the 2nd time this week. Great movie and i love the soundtrack.

Because i've seen movies of that genre before. I hate these kind of movies.

Thus the getting high part. I watched 2012 like that and actually had a pretty trippy experience.
