The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003) | Forum profile

I wish they hadn't made the movie at all.

Yes, Boromir says that when he is trying to persuade the Council to keep the Ring and use it against Sauron. He is exaggerating. Boromir: One does not simply walk into Mordor. It's black gates are guarded by more than just orcs. There is evil there that does not sleep. The great eye is ever watchful. It is a barren wasteland, riddled with fire, ash, and dust. The very air you breathe is a poisonous fume. Not with ten thousand men could...

you were paid to watch it 4 times?

Enlighten me. What is it that I'm not getting? Was your entire post a massive satire? I'm really hoping that is the case. Also... you're calling my post a piece of poo that has "a wavy surface, edge, or markings". You do know that, yes? Witty closing remarks have been replaced by massive head trauma and severe hemorrhaging.

Third-Age-Mage got it - Boromir is kinda exaggerating. However, it is a noxious fume. Sam and Frodo feel awful as they cross Mordor. Sick, and parched and worn out. There were other factors involved too, but the plains of Gorgoroth are very harsh. You should also note that Sauron's minions, though evil, still needed food, water and air. The New World fell not to a sword but to a meme.

"Never thought I'd die fighting side by side with an Elf." "What about side by side with a friend?" "Aye... I could do that." -------------------- God Hates Fangs!

um, lord of the rings is a underrated, undervalued trilogy.

Sam was in his late 30s. Bilbo was 50. Neither were young to warrant "thin-ness". Late 30's in hobbit years would be mid-20's in human years, whereas 50 in hobbit years would be about 32 in human years. That could make a difference. Besides I don't think it's necessary to go by Tolkien's drawing, just so long as, like you said, they're depicted in a way that isn't contradictory to text....

Ooops. Many thanks. Tough when you are your own editor to catch each slip. I think he is surely a villain, just a more complicated on then most.

I'm 17 years old and I couldn't agree more with you. Peter Jackson is my favorite director and there's only one reason: Lord of the Rings
