MissMerry Posted December 20, 2003 Share Posted December 20, 2003 Hello. This is my first post. I saw RoTK in Wellington where I live, and cried at the end. It is very sad that the trilogy is finally at an end. I went to the premiere and saw Orlando, Viggo and Peter Jackson, an amazing man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobbit14 Posted December 21, 2003 Share Posted December 21, 2003 Oh my god what a beautiful film the third one is. I had slight tears in my eyes through most of it. But worst was with Frodo and Sam in Mordor. Never laughed so much at Gimli either. I'm soooo going again to see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaramelRose Posted December 21, 2003 Share Posted December 21, 2003 Saw it yesterday... OMG... I almost in tears at: 1) Frodo telling Sam to **** off (My Poor Poor Sam!) 2) Merry and Pippin parting (Billy's face... omg...) 3) Denethor telling Faramir to basically go away and die. 4) Pippin singing 5) Arwen seeing her little boy... *sniff* 6) Every single scene with Frodo and Sam in Morder... 7) When they all reunite at the end, and Pippin and Merry (specially Merry) clambour onto the bed, and then Sam just looks... *awww* Where I did cry: 1) The Frodo and Sam hug right at the end. 2) When Sam returned home 3) All the way through the credits 4) All the way home in the car 5) All afternoon! The film finished at about 2.30... I didn't stop crying til abtou 4ish!!! It was SUCH a good film! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elijahs_ladie Posted December 21, 2003 Share Posted December 21, 2003 There's always one isn't there idiot u mean? I had a group of them behind me...and I dont care if they are older than me and would probably smack me one too, If I would have seen them afterwards, They wouldof got a slap! 'Is this s**t finished yet?' Yeah, I know what you mean, I sat by a big group of kids who were laughing and taking the p**s out of the people in front who were crying. It made me really angry. They obviously weren't there to enjoy the film, just to annoy other people. Luv Jen xxxxxxxxxxxx Oh, I had some of them too. At the beginning, they were like "What film is this again? The Three Kings? The first two films were meant to be crap. Why are we here again? Dunno, there was nothing else on" There were about 10 of them and they must have been about 14 years old. Soooooo annoying. I though, I'm not gonna let them ruin my first ROTK experience! Normally, I'm a really neutral person, you know the one who tries to chill everyone else out, but when they started taking the **** of Andy as Smeagol I just turned round and told them to shut up. Very unlike me! It seemed to work though, not a peep of them for the rest of the film although that was probably cos I was so absorbed I didn't notice anything going on around me. LOL! *applauds* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicxxx thats exactly when i started crying too!!!! it was so upsetting but also so incredibly amazing and wonderful. my heart was pounding the whole way through the film and i was breathing really funny - prolly coz i was so nervous and anxious about wanting to know what happens. i didnt want to know what happens coz i didnt want it to end!!!! then when "the end" came up, i couldnt stop crying and we were the only ones left in the cinema by the end of the credits!! amazing film, amazing cast, amazing crew, amazing director, amazing fans, amazing amazing ok ive sed amazing enuf now but its true!!!! theres neva been a trilogy like it and there neva will be. these films and the story and the characters will stay in our hearts forever and will never leave. Peter Jackson rocks!!!! (has anyone guessed that im crying right now??!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gollum Posted December 21, 2003 Share Posted December 21, 2003 There were times in the film I welled up a bit. Being a huge Gollum/Smeagol fan, I cheered to myself when Frodo told Sam to go home to the Shire. And I did shed a single tear when I saw the shear happiness of Gollum/Smeagol when they had the ring as they headed to a firey end. After all, my boy (s) was happy. He had his precious. I did nearly cry laughter with the Merry and Pippin comedy bits. Those two are pure enjoyment. Oh, and not forgetting the classic line from Gimli to Legolas when he has killed the elephant like monster "That still only counts as one....!"

NINE DAYS!!! Posted December 21, 2003 Share Posted December 21, 2003 I went to see it for the second time last night. It was just as good. In my school there are only two lotr buffs, one of them being me and the other being one of my good friends who was seeing it for the first time last night. Now i never cried this time (that much) but my friend she blubbered like a big baby. It was such a shame, it was the exact same way i was when i watched it for the first time. Seriously she was whimpering and then wailing because she was crying that much. All u could hear echoing through the cinema was the sniffs of about 30 people crying. Its such an emotional rollercoaster. aww and its at the very very end when Sam has shut his door and it comes up "The End". *whimper*, aww, it really is the end. But no!! Technically it's not the end until november next year!! *sigh* It's just so good. And it's like what jonathon ross said to Ian Mckellan; "what are we going to do next year? LOTR is like tradition." -- very good point. I mean...what are we all going to do next december?? aww. anyhoo, we've all still got a fair while until ROTK goes out of the cinema....(nooo, i don't want it to leave the cinema!)

elijahs_ladie Posted December 21, 2003 Share Posted December 21, 2003 the shear happiness of Gollum/Smeagol when they had the ring as they headed to a firey end. He had his precious. wow. i thought that bit was brilliant. it kinda scared me too, coz it showed just how powerful the ring was and what it can do to a person, also shown by the opening scenes which were also fantastic!! it scared me too to think that, if frodo decided to not throw the ring in, that he might become a creature like gollum. *has a shiver down her spine* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gollum Posted December 21, 2003 Share Posted December 21, 2003 If Peter Jackson/JRR Tolkien had gone that route it would not have worked with Frodo. In the opening scenes Smeagol already seemed to have a dark side fighting to get out. He seemed to kill for the One Ring so easily. I was glued to the screen everytime Smeagol/Gollum had a conversation. The scene where Smeagol was talking to Gollum in the water reflection was superb. I know the SFX are great with Gollum & Smeagol but the passion Andy Serkis puts into both characters is superb. When I met Andy at C4 I was behind a few people and a girl asked if he could say words to a few friends of hers from NZ who could not attend, and turning it on like a tap he spoke as Gollum & Smeagol into the video camera. I truly hope Andy Serkis gets alot of recognition/work from the industry as he has a rare talent that so many actors/actresses fail to show in their work PASSION...

Gollum Posted December 21, 2003 Share Posted December 21, 2003 Don't get me started on the "weirdos". I was not best pleased when my frined told me after the film that he had seen in the paper that day that "so called fans" had gone to the film to pin point errors.

NINE DAYS!!! Posted December 21, 2003 Share Posted December 21, 2003 Hey. I noticed this last night and I'm just wondering if I'm the only one who has noticed it or if anyone else saw it?! aww, it's at a really sad bit aswell, anyway. When Gandalf is talking to Pippen about death and Pippen says "I never thought it would end this way." and thats when Gandalf starts talking about how death is not the end. All through that scene, look at the bottom of Pippens neck; it's pulsing!! Puts a literal meaning to the phrase "my heart was in my throat". aww, wee Pippen, he looked so scared at that bit. Billy Boyd did so well in that film. I especially liked the bit with him and the palantir. lol, Gandalf sleeps with his eyes open?! Anyway, did anyone else notice that with Pippen?

Gollum Posted December 21, 2003 Share Posted December 21, 2003 I saw a different side to Merry & Pippin in this film. Their true friendship shone through when they were seperated and when Pippin found Merry and said he would look after him it was priceless. And seperating them allowed their characters to grow. I think they over shadowed the Frodo/Sam partnership by far. The only time they were outshone by Frodo/Sam is then Frodo/Sam were with Gollum/Smeagol. I found that the Frodo/Sam characters did not appeal to me as the Merry/Pippin characters did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NINE DAYS!!! Posted December 21, 2003 Share Posted December 21, 2003 Have u read the books? if so, did u feel the same way about merry and pippen when u were reading about their characters. I can't wait till the 4 disc set. I really hope it goes into more depth especially on Merry's part. There seemed to be alot more of Pippen than there was of Merry.

Gollum Posted December 21, 2003 Share Posted December 21, 2003 I have never read the books as I have a chemical inbalance in the brain which makes it run alot faster than normal brains. I cannot settle on a book after the first few pages. A bit of a gutter but it has it's advantages. After watching FOTR and TTT Extended versions I saw so much more. The bit at the end of TTT where Merry & Pippin find the food and Pipe Weed. Classic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NINE DAYS!!! Posted December 21, 2003 Share Posted December 21, 2003 awww, i love that bit!!! It's like after all they've been through they have this moment to get back into being Hobbits again. It's fantastic. Billy Boyd has such an infectious laugh and it's just so happy the fact that they can get back to their old ways at that moment. Awww. Fantastic. xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Narago Posted December 21, 2003 Share Posted December 21, 2003 Hi all I have just got back from my second screening of ROTK, and yep I cried again!!! (I have never cried at a film before this). Just thinking about it makes me cry. I was telling my mum how good it was and how sad and that was it I was off again!!! OMG its really over, I cant believe it. Mr Peter Jackson what can I say but thank you and to all the cast and crew, what a journey it has been for all of us. Oh god gonna start blubbing again if I dont shut up, just wanted to say my bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merry Madam Posted December 22, 2003 Share Posted December 22, 2003 (edited) Loads of parts of the film made me cry, but the soundtrack does too! Listening to Into the West sets me off big time, the words are just so meaningful & appropriate! Have I got a problem?

Hobbit14 Posted December 22, 2003 Share Posted December 22, 2003 I've never read the books either. Well like one chapter of Fellowship of the Ring. Then I realised how much they'd missed out and thought "Bloody hell". But for some reason, I find the books hard to read and get into:( Our whole cinema was in stitches at Gimli's "It still only counts as one" Class Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frodos_Girl Posted December 22, 2003 Share Posted December 22, 2003 (edited) I'm crying sooo much thinking about it!! Aaaaah, well i suppose it doesn't help listening to the ROTK soundtrack at the bit when Aragorn sees Arwen *cries* I absoloutely adore ROTK i think it's the best! I'm gonna be sooo depressed this time next year! It's all ended *Sniffle* well we got the hobbit in 2006. But that doesn't compare to LOTR. Ooooooh no, im at the bit when everyone bows to the hobbits. That bit made me cry sooooo much! Just think of LOTR without the music, it would be sooo less emotional so a very big thanks to Howard. When i listened to the soundtrack before i saw the movie it wasn't as emotional! the scenes that made me cry are 1) When Frodo tells Sam to go home 2) When Sam offers to carry Frodo 3) When Frodo leaves to the Grey Havens *thinks of the looks of the sad hobbits* :'( 4) When Frodo&Sam are at Mount Doom 5) When Aragorn and everyone else fighting know that the ring has been destroyed and Merry shouts out "FROOOOOOODOOOOOOOO!" 6) When the eagles get Frodo&Sam, then Frodo looks up and sees Gandalf 7) When Frodo is in bed and sees the fellowship again. 8) When Theoden dies 9) When Pippin looks for Merry 10) When Pippin sings 11) When Denethor tells Faramir to go to Osgiliath and fight 12) When Aragorn sees Arwen 13) When Arwen sees her son 14) When Pippin&Gandalf leave Merry 15) When Gandalf talks to Pippin about dying 16) The End!!! I think that's about it I cried sooo hard though, like so i could hardly breathe! *gasp* I had a cut on my lip from where i was biting it to stop from crying out louder then i was!LoL! I really do have to not listen to the soundtrack while talking about it! Aaaaaaaaaaaaah!!! I can't wait to see it for the 3rd time this week! 'N' Merry Maddam if you have a problem so do i!!!

Gollum Posted December 23, 2003 Share Posted December 23, 2003 It has been bugging me the bit I found saddest and I finally decided on when Merry and Pippin are seperated. As someone who is not too high on the Frodo/Sam relationship (don't dislike but don't like) I saw the Merry/Pippin relationship spell binding at times with both HUMOUR and SADDNESS. Billy Boyd has a wonderful voice. However, the only other part that made me feel sad, but it also made me feel happy was when Gollum/Smeagol died in the lava. He died happy with his precious. The look on his face was superb. I know alot of it was SFX but then based it on Andy Serkis's facial expressions. I have a feeling we will be disecting this film for many weeks and months to come. I came into this trilogy only a film fan who felt compelled to check it out. By The Two Towers and the introduction of Smeagol/Gollum I was hooked and by THE END I was a fully fledged RINGITE. Roll on Peter Jackson making THE HOBBIT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigFan Posted December 23, 2003 Share Posted December 23, 2003 1. Frodo telling Sam to go home. 2. Merry and Pippin being parted. 3. Theoden's death. 4. When Pippin finds Merry. 5. When the Fellowship are reunited 6. When Frodo goes to the Grey Havens. I silently cried so much during the film. Those are the scenes I can remember but there's probably more!!
