![]() I dunno, I thought they did a great job at casting, aside from Arwen and Galadriel.Īnd last thing, TECHNICALLY the difference between SciFi and Fantasy is what Vee said, whereas Science Fiction has to have some semblance of genuine science in it, whereas fantasy involves that which is literally impossible. I was EXTREMELY disappointed with the lack of awesomeness that is Faramir, the movies didn't do half as good of justice as he deserved, though I thought the actor was a good choice. I don't think I'd change much of the cast though, I think almost everyone did a great job. I think they would make great female elves, just not those particular two, who have a VERY high standard when it comes to looks. I do agree that the actresses they chose are decent at best. Though like what someone else said, If you're going to refer to the most beautiful elf that STILL LIVES IN MIDDLE EARTH, then technically it would be Galadriel. So my guess is those elves were added in place of Arwen, just for the sake of adding epicness and letting the audience see elves in action, and wanting Elrond to deliver the sword in ROTK.Īnother note.the most beautiful elf to have ever lived in ME is Luthien. Next.if you want to get technical in comparisons, no contingent of elves even showed up at Helms Deep. Not to mention LOTR came before Star Wars, so if anything Lucas was giving an homage to Tolkien and PJ just did the same. I can make comparisons of that scene to so many other works of literature that have more or less identical scenes. Well since this topic has been revived, I'll give my 2 cents.įirstly, sure, Theodens death is similar to Vaders, but only in the sense that it's a generic archetype in all literature. For one moment, i thought PJ installed "arrow-time" in the movie and that Boromir would dodge the arrows, like a fantasy Neo or something. Boromir was in fact good either, safe for that dying scene. I think only Bilbo, Gandalf and Saruman were decent. In fact, i'd like to change almost the entire LOTR cast coz i think they all stink big time, but maybe that's just because the movies don't follow the books that well. Hey, why wasn't Ioreth in the movies? Maybe Miranda Otto could've played that chick. Eowyn's supposed to be a young woman, 23 years of age. PJ should've picked a hotter actress to play Eowyn. Noticed that "Oh no Frodo, don't give up!!!" - weeping scene in FOTR? what the heck was up with that?! I would've rushed with they dying hobbit-doll to Rivendell, as the doll was about to enter the spirit world.Īnyway, if PJ would've dealt with Arwen like in the books, i wouldn't complain bout Liv Tyler at all. I think Liv Tyler is good-looking enough to play Arwen, the only problem is her annoying voice and crap acting. So why pick a hot actress for 10 minutes? No, just take Fran Walsh, aka Ms PJ, to play Arwen, in that case. If PJ would've followed the books to the letter, there would've been at most 10 minutes of Arwen in the movies. from The Battle of the Pelennor Fields, RotK, Book 5, Chapter Six. Live now in blessedness and when you sit in peace with your pipe, think of me! For never now shall I sit with you in Meduseld, as I promised, or listen to your herb-lore.' He closed his eyes, and Merry bowed beside him. 'Forgive me, lord,' he said at last, 'if I broke your command, and yet have done no more in your service than to weep at our parting.' A grim morn, and a glad day, and a golden sunset!' And even in their mighty company I shall not now go ashamed. Then Merry stooped and lifted his hand and kissed it, and lo! Th’oden opened his eyes, and they were clear, and he spoke in a quiet voice though laboured. For Snowmane in his agony had rolled away from him again yet he was the bane of his master. And there stood Meriadoc the hobbit in the midst of the slain, blinking like an owl in daylight, for tears blinded him and through a mist he looked on ’owyn's fair head, as she lay and did not move and he looked on the face of the king, fallen in the midst of his glory.
