Favorite Character?

[BillyBoyd8816]

:elfeek: Exactly who's your favorite Character? Of course by my name and signature I love pippin! But what about you?rofl

[Fatty]

Well mine is not Fatty Bolger. though I like him too. My favourite character is Theoden. Hey he bursts a horn asunder with a blow, what a guy!

[Beregond]

I was going to say Faramir . . . but he's not in the Fellowship . . . Beregond isn't either . . . and neither is Eomer. I guess Boromir. He's not all evil, he just screwed up. And he sort of tried to redeem himself in the end. Also Sean Bean is a cool actor. He was also my favorite character in Goldeneye (The James Bond Movie) He played Alec Trevelyn, 006.:thumbs:

[A! Elbereth]

lol haha screwed up.... I have to say I am obsessed with Frodo (Elijah Wood) and I'm starting to seriously annoy my family ;) Even the smallest person can change the course of the future :smooch:

[AlienFX007]

Well, the characters as portrayed in the movie and the book are different (ever so slightly). So I would have to say that I liked Frodo from the movie and Sam from the book.

::sighs::

Ahh, hobbits...they're so adorable and sweet and cute with their curly hair and big blue eyes. And they're brave and loyal and so much better than elves in so many ways...

[A! Elbereth]

The Reason Frodo is so great in the movie is becuase OF HIS BIG BABY BLUES! Elijah Wood has the bluest eyes I've ever seen.... did you notice Sam was the only hobbit in the movie without blue eyes? It even says in the book.....


(Yes, I am Queen of the Obvious)

[Bonos-Girl]

well...my favourite character in the film is galadriel and in the book it's sam. My favourie actor is orlando bloom (legolas greenleaf -as if you didn't know!!). I love Elijah too, it was him in the trailer that made me think that i HAD to see the film, I was like wow look at his eyes, they're amazing.

[A! Elbereth]

*sigh* cries in joy... In the movie when they first showed a close-up of his face I was like:o !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[AlienFX007]

lol well then I shall start a hobbit worship thread for us...

[Pil]

Fav character...MERRY TO THE GRAVE! OK, so i know i go on about him but...HE ROCKS!!!! :thumbs:

Second, i agree with fatty...theoden's pretty cool.

Third comes legolas...purely for the orlando bloom thing. We don't really get to see his character in the book do we? :p

[Catz]

oh god......drowning in Hobbit induced drool.......again......blub, blub.....
Yes Alien.......be off with you to a drool protected thread with all your sad little Hobbit pervs....;) lol lol *catz fishes out her brolly*
has to be the flaxen haired, eagle eyed elven archer for me....Legolas was always my favourite in the book, and the movie just made him even better....yummy...i do love pointy ears....;)
:catz:

[A! Elbereth]

At least we have enough to drown ppl in :o):evilcool:

[Catz]

lol
thats only because we elf fanciers are far too refined to drool......pfbbt ;)
we simply salivate....in an elegant fashion of course....lol lol
:catz:

[A! Elbereth]

I see.... my mistake :flamer: :fanboy: :battle:

[Catz]

:elfeek: lol lol lol entdraught :catz:

[A! Elbereth]

Hey all who post here plz post some more of the story Alien is trying to make with everyone here! Its pretty funny! I wanna see how it turns out but no one is posting :(

Its in fan Fiction

[PrinceImrahil]

THE BUTTERFLY THAT SAVED GANDALF WAS THE BEST!!!!!

No, seriously folks, i'd have to say Boromir. Sean Bean did a REALLY GOOD job playing him and I thought his character came out perfect.

[Catz]

twas not a butterfly....twas a nocturnal member of the order Lepidoptera....which i cannot type cos the auto censor wont let me!!!!??!!!:huh:
actually the mind boggles as to under what circumstances the word m**h becomes offensive????? :o lol
well....it did have a pivotal role, all the more amazing for being just a m..... small nocturnal member of the order Lepidoptera....:cool: ;)
:catz:

[Illuvatar]

Aye, it shouldn't be censored there Catz.....

Hmmmmm.......let me see.....

****!!

:elfeek: :elfeek: rofl rofl

Now how and the world did I manage that!!pfbbt

One second please.....

[Illuvatar]

Moth!!

There..I fixed it!!!:p

It appears that it was part of a double definate no-no :nono: word! Taking the word Mother to a whole new level!! I assumed that it would treat both words in brackets as one word.

My most sincerest apologies :embarras:

All fixed now!!!

lol lol lol

[Illuvatar]

And now to be back on topic:naughty:

My fave in the movie would be the same as in the book...

I have to stick with my boy SAM!!:thumbs:

[Catz]

thanks Ilu.....dontcha just love how literal computers are??;) lol
and just to stay on topic...*listens to the thuds as people who know her pass out*...my next fave after the edible elf, is Eowyn....such a human character....and so sad.....
:catz:

[Illuvatar]

/me drags himself back to the desk after catching himself on the edge of the table as he fell out:p

Thanks Catz, I'd heard that you have a tendancy to inflict injury, but I thought that was limited to the fan boy!! :shhh: Did I say that?

Anyway, next to Sam's loyalty for his friend, I think Merry and Pippin's humour was very well done. Nothing like a burst of laughter in the middle of Elrond's most serious council!! :jester:

[Catz]

:o whatever gave you that idea???!!!*catz hides the whip behind her back hurriedly* :angel:
'sides....my lil' fanboy's away ....guess you could say im broadening my horizons..;) lol
:catz:

[Sindarin]

My favorite character has to be Arwen.:loveyou:

[Pil]

Arwen? Weeel...ok.... C'mon hun, if your gonna fancy someone, fancy the girl with more brains than boobs...ie Eowyn...not some tart who managed to con PJ into letting her ride around for a few minutes!

Soz, i can't stand liv tyler! Arwen the character in the book...well there's not a lot to say about her really is there?!!

P.S. your profile is one of the sexiest on this site... use your sorcery to seduce me... :naughty:

[A! Elbereth]

Wow Pil you really let it all out that time

but anyway... I wanna talk about the Hobbits now! I think that what Pippin said at the Council was funnier than he...never mind... but now that i think about it, I dont think there will be too much more of comedy in Lord of the Rings... Things get dead serious in the next movies...I'm sure..

[Catz]

do i detect the scent of rampant hormones????;)
C'mon Pil.....the guys entitled to like whoever he wants.......even if it is a bit sad and predictable......;) lol
just kidding Sindarin....tho you may change your mind when TTT comes out....i get the feeling that Miranda Otto will kick posterier!!!:thumbs: ;)
:catz:

[Beregond]

I can't wait to see Faramir in The Two Towers. I really hope he's as good as Boromir was in the Fellowship of the Ring. Also, I really hope they include Beregond in Return of the King. They'd better not leave him out.

[Sindarin]

Okay, I admit it - Eowyn is certainly one of my favorite characters. She possesses intelligence, strength, and beauty.

I agree that I am definately more attracted to her appeal than I once thought.:thumbs:

P.s. So, you think my profile is sexy, Pil?

Why thank you. :smooch:

[Pil]

I can just imagine this strong elf knight :knight:...

Are you wearing tight trousers like legolas wears? And are your eyes blue... hell i'm sure your eyes are gorgeous whatever colour they are! :naughty:

[Beregond]

You people scare me.

[Catz]

what....all of us???;)
Pil.....do us all a favor and PM Sindarin.....please???...im starting to suffer from oestrogen poisoning here....and all the panting is using up oxygen.......;) lol
:catz:

[Bonos-Girl]

i think that pil should make a new thread on the i love... board. #
so..sindarin isn't in the movie but y'know it would make more sense than to put it here.

[Ilmarë]

*wearing a mask, effective against the rampant oestrogen contamination* Sorry guys....the I Love section is my domain...and only the cast shall be discussed in there:cool:

Catz....get into practice with the whip girlie...and i'll get the long blond wig coiffed and ready ;)

[Illuvatar]

Yes ..please Pil, do use the PM system for things like that. And maybe, just maybe we can get back onto the topic?:cool:

[Mirkgirl]

What about Bill? He looked nice :)

[Elbereth]

I like Legolas and Sam! In the book Sam is so funny and loyal. Legolas is a fun elf. All the others are soooooooo serious. He is also hot!

[A! Elbereth]

whoooooa........ Her name is almost like mine...

[Bonos-Girl]

I think bill was soooo cute, in fact i might go as far as to say he was cuter than any of the characters...at all (ie including frodo and legolas!)

[Pil]

Ok. no-one is going to claim that bill, a mere pony, is hotter than legolas.... it's just not right! verymad

Is is cute for a PONY though! :)

[Bonos-Girl]

what do you mean 'for a PONY'. ponies are soooo cute. Maybe i was exagerating a bit when i said he is cuter than legolas (but not much!!!)

[Pil]

Just a tad hun! I don't see Bill with a 'butt like granite' (from the diaries!) :lol:

[Bonos-Girl]

I don't think any of the characters are into molesting poor, innocent animals.If they were then bill probably wouldn't mind!!!!!

if you want to see a cow (no molesting going on) then visit this site (http:/www.riddleme.com/html/cow.html)

[Pil]

Is that the wierd one that Sarah showed us? If it is then i think you should remove the link! (i can't use your link, my comp won't show me the page...) pfbbt

[Mirkgirl]

any pony is better than any elf

[A! Elbereth]

NOBODY SAYS A DIRY ANIMAL IS CUTER THAN FRODO! waaaaah Does Bill have blue eyes!? I dont think so!

Sorry.... I loose my mind sometimes:embarras:

[Mirkgirl]

I don't know but Bill had real eyes, Frodo could use some blinking

[Catz]

Ahhhhh.....:evilcool: so thats why he was always crying......:flamer: ...theyd glued his eyes open....:elfeek: lol lol
:catz:

[A! Elbereth]

I.... dont understand! Why!?!?!?!:( :boohoo:

[Pil]

Don't listen to them! Those gorgeous peepers are REAL i say, REAL!!! verymad

[Catz]

Actually Bill was a very clean animal....probably cleaner than the Hobbits lol lol
:catz:

[A! Elbereth]

ha ha ha pfbbt

[lotrboarder]

:elfeek: i think Legolas is the best. He has some awesome fight scenes in the movie. So he is definetely my favorite.

[Fatty]

Ah you are in good company there! Welcom eto War of the Ring, hope you have fun!

[Fatty]

But I feel I must jump to Arwen's defence. Although I was not too pleased with som eof her antics. I thought Liv did a great job. Arwen is a more attractive character I think than Eowyn. Although Eowyn is strong and weak, loyal and brave, I think Arwen, in the book anyway, has a much more mysterious appeal. What a woman! Suffers eternal separation from her family to be with Aragorn.

I have to admit to being partial to Liv, I liked her accent in the film, her big eyes, her lips are ace (they get much unwarranted critism!).....I could go on.but I won't. Anyway, yes so favourite characters.

[Catz]

UNWARRENTED?????!!!!:o :o :elfeek: :grin:

oh pllllleeeease.....those lips could swallow Chicago!!!!.....still.....i suppose thats a plus from the male viewpoint.....*:naughty: :elfeek: lol lol
men........*shakes her head*rofl lol lol rofl
:catz::cool:

[Pil]

lol...catz you crack me up!...

Fatty, follow Sindarin's example and stop swooning over Liv. Miranda is sooo much more attractive, and i can saw that cos i'm a girl. Us girlies aren't threatened by female actors when you GUYS obviously are by Orli! :battle:

P.S. MERRY STILL RULES!!!!!!! ;)

~*~I agree with AlienFX007. My favorite is Frodo from the movie and Sam from the book. Hobbits are so adorable. Frodo and Sam are definately my favorite characters.~*~

[Catz]

:grin: Chalk up another addition to the hairy foot brigade :naughty: ;) lol .....jes kiddin' HobbitFriend......:grin:
Welcome HobbitFriend.....(how did i guess youd be a hobbit gal???:rolleyes: lol )
there are plenty of Hobbit fanciers here, Alien being just one among them....have fun and enjoy your time with us.....:grin:
:catz:

[Tinuviel]

eh....my fave character in the movie is Elijah Wood's Frodo, because I have a thing for huge unblinking blue eyes. LOL:naughty:

In the book, its a tie between Gandalf and Sam.

[Pil]

Gandalf!!!? Oooook then! I suppose he's like a really important person to the actual story, but i wouldn't go as far as to say that many people could relate to the guy...but, maybe you can you cool wizard you! :)

HOBBIT FRIEND!!! JOIN THE PERVY HOBBIT FANCIER CLUB!!!!!! :hooray:

[Bonos-Girl]

no-one could ever relate to gandalf (cept tolkein).
ever.

[Tinuviel]

....ummm...actually the whole history of Gandalf and his Order is fascinating, and mysterious. I like that he appears weak, but actually posesse power and knowledge. He is so instrumental in the fates of all that he comes across...Loved his gruff yet affectionate dialogue with Merry and Pippin in the books. Ooh, there are many more bits, but I'll spare the details

(fellow Gandalf fans, help me out here!!! :))
:) I guess, to many younger folks, its kinda hard to identify/relate with him....:p oh well...different strokes for different folks lol

on a lighter note....I can so glomp Frolijah...... and DomMerry. :naughty: Love the movie hobbits.

[Pil]

MERRY IS THE BEST HOBBIT!!!!! Side with me here, before A! Elbereth gets at you with Frodo! lol

I like the way that Gandalf acted to Pippin and Merry too, so sweet! He's like a strict father that you can't help but love. :)

[Catz]

yeah Tinuviel, i think as you get older you can really start to relate to the sense of responsibility that Gandalf feels towards the other characters...possibly something you dont get so easily when younger....
and yeah the hobbits are cute......but the elf is edible!!!:elfeek: ;) lol
:catz:

[Orc]

Ugluk! Greatest of all the Uruk-hia. Through him we get a view into the world of the orcs and Uruk-hai, and the impression that there is a lot more than meets the eye when it concerns Uruk-hia.

[A! Elbereth]

Pil! He's siding with me! He already said Frodo (Played by my lovely Elijah) is his favorite! Finally a true Frodo fan!!!!

[Pil]

Oy...i'm a TRUE Frodo fan...it's just i'm not so fan-like as i am towards Merry... I mean, Merry actually did something pretty cool, he helped Eowyn kill the Nazgul guy... all Frodo did was carry a ring about for a bit and then chickened out at the last minute...

I'm SOOOOOO gonna regret posting this!!!! :(

[A! Elbereth]

OH YES YOU ARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Merry did a brave thing, but at least Frodo was brave enough to hold it! Not even Gandalf would carry it, and Imagine how terrifying... besides... he saved the world... if it wasnt for his bravery Merry would have most likely died and everyone else including him... or even worse.. someone evil could have gotten it. SO *smiles sweetly* ROAR!!!! ......:grin:

[Pil]

OK, ok i see your point! Frodo rules...blah...blah...blah :huh:

[A! Elbereth]

lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol hehehehehehe Pil you give in to quickly! Arent you going to defend Merry? Besides... merry is my second favorite Hobbit! ooooooooo!

:loveyou: lol :naughty:

[Pil]

OK...SO I'LL DEFEND HIM! I was a bit spaced out at the time and i couldn't face the arguing.... :(

Sod it...i have nothing left to say... hearnoevil

[Bonos-Girl]

you always have somethng to say pil...

[Nessa the Dancer]

My favourite character from the film would have to be Pippin. Twas the Scottish accent that did it for me, and he was just so...so...Pippin-like.

Nessa

[Catz]

*groans*...not another hobbit fancier....;) lol :jester:
Just kidding Nessa...tho we do appear to have a preponderance of hairy foot fetishists:elfeek: roflmao
Yeah, Pippin was well done....Billy Boyd did a great job didnt he?:cool: .....and welcome to our little corner of the net...have fun:thumbs:
:catz:

[lotrboarder]

Aragorn was one of my favorite characters. He had a giant sword and a bow you cant get better than that,The actor that played him(I'm not sure who) was very good at the part.:)

[Nessa the Dancer]

Virgo Morrison.
Yea, he was great.
He's one of my favourites as well.

I heard what you said catz. I'm not just a hobbit fancier. I'm rather partial to Elves as well.
Toasted Elf on waybread! Mmmmm.

[Catz]

hobbits toast really well too you know....its just a hassle gettin rid of the hair!!:elfeek: :naughty: lol
BTW Nessa, have you met our resident elf torturer, Alien FX?...i have the strangest feeling you two would get along fine:rolleyes: lol
:catz:
oh and for the record its Viggo Mortensen, guys....and yeah, hes a wonderful actor....so glad we got him instead of Stuart Townsend:cool: :grin:

[Pil]

lol lol lol I agree catz! (Plus, i'm back with more to say :angel: )

What a name...VIGGO MORTENSEN...almost as funny as ORLANDO BLOOM!... :evil:

P.S. JOIN THE PERVY HOBBIT FANCIERS NESSA! :hooray: entdraught

[Nessa the Dancer]

No I don't belive I've had the pleasure of meeting Alien FX yet, though I have a strange feeling we'd get along fine as well.

I might might just do that Pil. The Pervy Hobbit Fanciers Club, who thought up that name then?

[Pil]

Weeeeeel, i'd heard the name PERVY HOBBIT FANCIER elsewhere, but it was my idea to have to club named that!

COME, JOIN!!!!!! :)

[Catz]

ohhhh no not another one....:elfeek: ;) :rolleyes: lol lol heaven help any hobbit wandering thru here :naughty: lol lol
:catz:

[Pil]

Aw catz! It is impossible to resist the temptations of joining! U....u...wanna join too? :)

I think we should join together you and i to make a leggy/elf loving group! Come on! Someone has to stand up for them! :knight:

[Elentari]

While almost all of the actors portrayed their characters very much as I'd always imagined them, I'll say Frodo as my favorite, though it's certainly a toss-up. Elijah portrayed him very well, though they shortchanged Frodo in the film; he should not have been quite so weak and wimpy; he is not really that way; even hurt to the death, he stands up in his stirrups at the Ford, holds up his sword and defies the Nazgul. He's afraid, yes, but is much stronger about it in the book.

I also loved Sean Bean's Boromir, and wished he hadn't died so soon!

[Algamesh]

I'm glad you brought that point up! That was my biggest problem with the film ... How did Frodo become basically a supporting actor? I really think they robbed the character of his personality in the script. I think Wood did an excellent job with the lines that were given him but it isn't Frodo as we know him from the literature.

I remember Frodo as being headstrong, valiant, scholarly, and defiant. The cinematic Frodo had little of these qualities ...

[Bonos-Girl]

yeh....frodo in the film is all sad and boring compared to the book...mecry mecry

[HobbitFriend]

I like Pippin too :) Aragorn is the serious one, Gandalf is the smart one, and the Hobbits are there are the funny ones - there to add some extra excitement......

[A! Elbereth]

You are right! Elijah did do a great job! Becuase that was how the script was made... I'm sure if Frodo was like in the book, Elijah would absolutely still be able to portray Frodo even better... I just hope they portray Frodo well when he meets Gollum... I love the part where he's being so... uh..."In control"... even sam was surprised...... I hope they make Frodo a little more interesting then

[Pil]

I know i have already said this, but frodo is SOOOOO boring in the film! I mean, come on, GET A PERSONALITY! :evil:

[A! Elbereth]

This upsets me.... not because I feel Frodo/Elijah is being insulted.. but well, I just feel that they made the character right. In the book they dont describe Frodo's emotions as happy and talkitive during the journey. If this was you, I'm sure you would be a deadbeat too, afraid of every corner you turned. Sam didnt have much of a personality unless frodo was in danger some way and Pippin just didnt know what he was getting into. Pippin and Merry were the ones with the personality yes.... but dont insult Elijah's acting because Frodo turned out boring - insult the one who made the movie that way, because Elijah was just doing his job. And while he was at it - he made Frodo perfect the way Peter Jackson obviously expected him to be.:mmmm:

[Pil]

Sorry u misunderstood! I WASN'T insulting Elijah, i thought he did a great job, it was just the frodo that he was required to act i think lacked the bit of personality we are able to see in FOTR. In TTT and ROTK, sure, the ring will become more over powering and if we go by eli's performance the sort of acting required of him will be fantastic! I just think that we should see a little more of the REAL frodo befor he becomes all weird! :p

[Nessa]

Not to disagree, Pil, but I think some of the "real" Frodo (who to me is real before he begins the quest) is well represented by his meeting of Gadalf and Bilbo's birthday party (laughing and so on). If by real you mean brave, I know what you mean. But once again I'll say Its the fault of mostly neccasary plot changes. I think his bravery will be seen in TT before he gets all wierded out. To stay on topic, Yes, Frodo is definately my favorate. :)

[Bonos-Girl]

i really hope that wasn;'t the *real* frodo....i hope that most of it was :beer:....coz otherwise he is a really bad dancer!!!!

[Ronin]

Before topic breaching, Sam is my fave.

other than that, I have to agree with Nessa, in part. I thought we saw a perfect glimpse into the "normal" Frodo...relaxed, thoughtful, happy and at time mischevious. And obviously a guy who knew who to throw down a few, with Sam included. considering his bravery, we've seen perfect shots of it...in the Council of Rivendell for instance, nomatter how blind that bravery may have been. But what we would normal consider brave and courageous, we won't see it from Frodo until early in TTT and late in ROTK because its not at the surface yet...buried deep within him, waiting for the right provocation. i mean, look at Merry and Pippin, the true characters of the fellowship. their bravery seen at the end of ROTK is not that born of "common stock" yet of loyalty and the desire to protect a friend, family. we've got to remember, the bravery within LOTR is not what we see every day...its born from something deeper and more meaningful, friends and family meant a lot to Tolkien and we should take that to mind.

and hey, Frodo danced quite well thank u :grin:

[Catz]

gotta agree with Nessa and Ronin here....i think we got a wonderful view of the "real" Frodo.....just contrast the laughing young man of the first view, with our last view of him in FOTR, and see how much hes changed...and yes, i feel he showed a great deal of bravery....taking on the ring at all was incredibly brave.....unlike the others, he knew a great deal more of what he was getting into, tho obviously not all of it....Merry and Pip were just on a lark, at least at first...and Sam was motivated first out of duty to Frodo, and then by friendship, tho he had only the sketchiest idea of what was actually happening...
and less said about hobbit boogie the better:elfeek: lol
:grin: and just for my nominally on topic justification, leggsy is still my fave....but then everyone else comes a close second ;) lol
:catz:

[A! Elbereth]

yes, thank you.

- and by the way, are you referring to imagination, or did you see Frodo dance? lol lol

[Pil]

How could you miss it?! :elfeek: roflmao

seems i'm out voted with the frodo thing...lets get on to leggy! :naughty:

:catz: i am glad to see somebody having leggy as their fav character, mine is merry, but he's A CLOSE SECOND! :loveyou:

[Melkor]

Legolas, then Elrond! (man, i am slacking, i need to get posting! i think i have 12 by this point, any good tips????)

[Catz]

hey....Ilm and I were the original Fangirls, and Legolas droolers lol roflmao lol ....and lets be honest.....;) what is there not to love???
eyes you could drown in, buns of STEEL.....the hair......and of course those gorgeous ears....yummmmmm
and when he fights *catz fans herself*.....double yummmmm!!!
:catz:

[Arwen]

hey I'm a Legolas fan too! :naughty: :loveyou:

[A! Elbereth]

101st post on this thread hehe lol

[Catz]

so ok, what did everyone think of Orli's performance as Legolas? and lets try to keep it on performance and not looks....tho i cant argue with a certain amount of side drooling ;) lol
Personally i think he did a wonderful job.....Legolas has always been my favourite and Orli just brought him to life....an amazing job...and a difficult one, what with having to be constantly aware of how you are moving, concentrating on keeping your moves fluid and graceful, while at the same time remembering your choreographed moves....a very assured performance from a very young actor.....and i cant resist...those ears are gorgeous :loveyou: lol
:catz:

[A! Elbereth]

yes, though I am reluctant to jump up and down for Orli, but I must say that yes, he did a good job. He made elves look very, i dont know, "elf-like" (if you know what I mean) unlike Haldir...... lol lol He portrayed Legolas just like the book! I like how he glances at Gimli at the very end of FOTR when Aragorn says,"Lets hunt some Orcs!" And Gimli says, "YESSSS!" The glances they give (including Gimli) shows that their friendship is growing

[Nessa]

I thought Orlando was brilliant. He and Blanchett were the only elves I was entirely happy with. I was very impressed with his gracefullness. Ear fetish, huh? Hobbits have those too....;)

[Catz]

Whoops!!!:embarras: sprung, hunh?;) lol
well, i never said i didnt like cute lil' pointy hobbit ears, just that i really like those slender elegant elf ears.....we need a drool smilie
:catz:

[Arwen]

I thought Orlando's performance as Legolas was wonderful, which was what (along with looks and pointy ears ;)) drew me to him in the first place.

[Algamesh]

Really Nessa? I agree with you on Orlando's performance but I was a bit disappointed by parts of Galadriel's portrayal. Sounded like she was on too much medication at times to me. Oh wait, silly me ... that's just the intoxicating effects of Lothlorien ... my bad ;).

[Nessa]

lol

I really did like Blanchett, I thik she acted the part very well, a few things hurt her charactor, though. I don't hate the glowing green thing, mostly because it contains dialog from the book, but I'm not fond of it, either. Cate Blanchett is a terrific actess in my opinion, and I think that scene would have worked better if they would just have let her act without all the cgi.

[A! Elbereth]

Yeah, the glowing thing is weird..... but otherwise Cate did a great job! Actually, it wasnt even her fault, it was the director who decided to make her glow green hehe lol

[Pil]

I didn't understand that AT ALL! Is it just me or did anyone else TOTALLY imagine that part of the book completely differently? I had NO glowing and NO scary man voice... :huh: :read: :(

[A! Elbereth]

LOL! Yes pil me too.... but what happened in the Hobbits vs. Elves thread!?!?!?!?! :nono: pfbbt :flamer: verymad

[Nessa]

I told you you'd get it, Pil ;) lol

I didn't imagine the cgi stuff, either. I picture something intense, but not scary.

[legolaslover]

Mine is Legolas (duh)! Besides being soooooooo hot, he is super cool too.

[Catz]

i think Galadriel had to be a bit scary....i mean look at the power of the woman.....shes gonna be scary, just because of that....i liked the performance and the direction......just not overly keen on their choice of effects...and i agree, Cate did a wonderful job...and i think thatll be reinforced when we get to see the whole of the Lorien sequence, since there will then be more of Galadriel as kindly, to balance Galadriel as scary.....
:catz:

[Pil]

Yeah...we kinda get the impression that the fellowship get sent away after the talk and that Frodo doesn't see her again until the mirror incient...where she becomes all scary. I think that any affection showed by Gimili or any others of the fellowship towards Galadriel later on in the film, hasn't been very well backed up. :p

[Aragorn Isildur]

She openly defied the Valar, you gotta be damn scary to do that!

Aragorn:king:

[Catz]

yeah...i liked the fact that they played up the fact that shes one tough broad!!;) but i do think that the extra Lorien footage will round out the on screen character.....
:catz:

[Pil]

If we hadn't read the book, what sort of caharcter do you think people give her? :huh: :p

[Stormrider]

I have to admit that when I first saw Orlando Bloom as Legolas, I was quite taken with his looks. I think that he is a very good casting choice to portray an Elf. The makeup and hair length and color used really made him look Elfish. His slender build was also a good casting call!

However, my favorite character was Ian McKlellan as Gandalf. He really made Gandalf come to life with his warm, friendly, humorous, and threatening (against Balrog) demeanor, and strong commanding performance.

The second favorite of mine was Elijah Wood. He really looked the way I pictured Frodo to look (even though he is a younger version of what I pictured in the book considering he was 50 years old!) But his acting was very good. I think his expressions and the emotions he portrayed were right on.

Stormrider

[Catz]

welcome Stormrider....d'you mind if i call you Stormy?lol we have many Lij/Frodo fans here, youre in good if somewhat fanatical company:elfeek: :o :o :elfeek:
did i say that??? :angel: ;) lol lol
.......and youre so right about McKellens Gandalf....he looks like he stepped out of a LOTR illustration doesnt he? and he has the character down pat...its going to be great to see the changes in the character, as the White.

[Pil]

Even if he DOES end up looking like a second Saruman! lol

[Catz]

ooooh Pil....thats cold.....:o
but actually, hes supposed to look like Saruman....remember in the book when Aragorn and Gimli and Legolas find him, they think hes Saruman.....i just hope he has a better manicurist.... lol
:catz:

[Aragorn Isildur]

In his MC Hammer pants :)

[Catz]

wheres that trout ???......*catz advances on Aragorn, weilding a large trout*....hammer time!lol roflmao roflmao
well...i guess it follows.....after all, we had the Wizards breakdance *sighs*
:catz:

[Pil]

WHAT? WHEN? :huh:

[Nessa]

You know, Pil! When Gandalf and Saruman "fought" in Orthanc and Gandalf was spinning on the ground and so on.....it was rather funny.....;)

Hello Stormrider! Gandalf was in my opinion the most flawlessly portrayed, although I have a tendency to rant about Frodo as well... that expression....

[A! Elbereth]

roflmao *<----serisouly* lol lol roflmao

My friend did find that funny, laughing and pointing at the breakdancing... :nono:

[Catz]

mmmm unfortunately a lot of people did....i actually found it got funnier the more times you saw it:rolleyes: lol oooh and ive found my trout....:trout: lol lol cool hunh? :cool:
:catz:

[Nessa]

lol roflmao

Is that a new one? Bit graphic, isnt it? Oh! Thats not blood, its a trout mark! Very nice, :catz:

Breakdancing definately one of the low points in the film. But as it has nothing to do with character...it inhibits my liking to Gandalf none at all. :)

[Catz]

well, Illu found it for me notworthy notworthy lol
and no...youre right...not even the breakdancing could take away from Gandalf....a wonderful performance by a great actor:thumbs:
:catz:

[Pil]

:trout: :trout: Oh FABULOUS!!!!! :thumbs: :hooray: veryhappy

Breakdancing.....NOW i see...i agree.... tres amusante! lol

Ian Mckellen did one of the best interpretations of the lotr characters that i saw...of course...he is beaten by sean bean as boromir...but it's a tough call... :read: :p

[Nessa]

If we're talking specifically about character portryal, I think McKellen easily bested Sean Bean. Bean's acting was brilliant, but he had less of a set up carachter to portray, if you understand me.

[Pil]

But didn't you think that the way he portrayed the kind of issues that both gondor and himself were going through at the time was brilliant? 'Nothing but a useless heirloom' (?) as he replaces Narsil...it clatters to the ground...he turns around to look into the eyes of aragorn...eyes that may throw down his father...priceless... :loveyou: plus sean beans quite yum!

[Nessa]

Yes, his acting was moving and flawless, but the character of Boromir in the book was less spelled out than that of Gandalf, I'm not saying this makes him better or worse than McKellen, just .... different. Don't worry, I rarely make sense. ;)

[legolaslover]

I LOVE LEGOLAS!!
:elfqueen:

[Lurtz]

mine is sam from the movie and the book...though, gimli is close...when i play paintball and someone captures the flag and is running back to the base, but is being shot at, i like to jump out of my hiding spot shooting paintballs everywhere like a madman yelling "mr. frodo! mr. frodo! i'll save you mr. frodo!" in like an imitation british accent...of course, then i usually come home with bruises in more shades of black, blue and red than you have ever seen...lol roflmao lol mecry

[Catz]

that is in fact understandable.....:rolleyes: ;) lol roflmao lol
so how come your fave character is Sam, but your handle is Lurtz? :huh:
:catz:

[Stormrider]

Catz: Sure you can call me "Stormy." Although Storm is the name of my horse, I will answer to "Stormy"!:grin:

I am looking forward to McKellan's portrayal of Gandalf the White, too. I am sure he will do it justice.

Back again, bg? :)

Personally I don't LOVE Legolas, I suppose I like him.

[A! Elbereth]

Same here - actually I have no feelings towards Legolas - no love, no like, no hate..... To me he's just there. Sorry, I will try to find more feelings towards 'em - I guess I should look at more of Orli than staring at Lij pics all day.... Its not like staring at them will get him any closer. mecry

[Kwijibo]

My fave from the book is Aragorn, closely followed by Smeagol (note: SMEAGOL not GOLLUM) and then Gandalf. From the film I really liked Sam and Gandalf, I thought Ian McKellen did that brilliantly! VM (Aragorn) was the hottest actor, though. Sorry, everyone, but I thought that EW and OB were a bit too cute ...
:knight: *gets ready to fight off hundreds of EW and OB fans*:knight:

[A! Elbereth]

Its ok Kwiji, at least you said that they were in some way attractive *starts getting second thoughts and reaches for a trout* :trout: at least theres only one trout unlike some people....*glances at Catz*

[Pil]

Oooooo...dodgy post Kwiji! :knight:

We will fight to the end! lol :battle:

aaaaaaanyways...i am interested in your smeagol choice...not many people mention him...elaborate on your decision for us! :read:

P.S. WELCOME HOME BONOS-GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!! :wave: entdraught :beer: :cuddles: veryhappy

[A! Elbereth]

we Pil? So now you dare to fight against a Member of your own club? Who knew that it would take us so far apart mecry :boohoo:

[Stormrider]

I always pictured Sam as a more gruff and rugged, gnarly kind of guy. I was surprised to see that the casting team chose Sean Astin for the role. He is much cuter and cuddlier than I had ever pictured Sam.

Sean did convey the concern and love for Frodo that the Sam in the book did; however, I just thought he was not rough-around-the-edges enough from my mind's view of Sam.

[A! Elbereth]

Frodo and Sam were best of friends, and If you noticed, Elijah and Sean (Billy and Dom. too) Are all wonderful friends now. Its qutie funny lol

I read something Sean said commenting on Elijah. He said once Elijah was standing on an unsturdy chair or summut (not sure what) and sean got worried about Elijah gettin hurt, just like Sam. Its soooo cute.

[Kwijibo]

Gladly! I was wondering if anyone would ask! I like Smeagol coz I can't stand Gollum :grin: I imagine them as two different people, like the bit in the Dead Marshes where he was arguing with his other self. Not only is he essential to the story but I think he's a really fascinating character. When I first found him in the Hobbit, I was scared by him coz I was about 6 years old and my Mum was reading it to me :grin: But even though he was freaky, I really liked him. I feel really sorry for him too, after all - just think what he's been through! Being tortured by Sauron *shudder*...

Also ...
we likes the way he talkes, doesn't we, my preciousss, yesss, and we likes FISHESES, yesss ...

[HobbitFriend]

lol i agree... i liked the Smeagol better than the Gollum part of him and when he had that argument with himself... i hope they show that in TTT.

[A! Elbereth]

yes that was interesting. I also hope its in TTT....

[Catz]

i would think it will be.....its very important to that character....in fact the struggle between the two sides of himself, you could say, defines Gollums character....and leads to the part that he will play in the Rings destruction....sides, its an excellent scene and really drives home in an overt way, just how torn he is....
interesting observations on Gollum/Smeagol, there, Kwijibo;) :thumbs:
:catz:

[Nessa]

I've always been convinced that Smeagol was a good guy before the ring came in. He came close to repenting that one moment in Cirith Ungol....its amazing that he could be under the ring's influence for that long and still have some good in him. Really an interesting character, its a shame there isn't more background information about him around.

[A! Elbereth]

The fact that Gollum was more bad than good was alreayd known to me beofre I even read TTT.... my damn friend told me that Frodo's finger got bit off by Gollum and I almost flipped... I almost slapped her for giving it away! I was sooooo ****ed. I just didnt know when... it sucked that i knew already. verymad :angry: verymad pfbbt :flamer::batty:

MY FRIEND:archer: :evil:

[Kwijibo]

It'll be really fascinating to see what they do with Gollum in TTT. I wonder how many people here have heard the BBC's radio version of LotR that was done aaggeess ago? That was why they chose Ian Holm to play Bilbo, because he was Frodo on the radio. Anyway, their Gollum was BRILLIANT. I was walking around the house for weeks after (I still do now) making hissing noises! :grin:

[A! Elbereth]

When my friend went with me to the movies, (different friend: isnt interested in LOTR) and we saw the TTT trailer, she thought gollum was so damn scary that she vowed she'd never see it in theatres because she would be to scared!?!?!? I think thats kinda funny...

she was sitting there covering her eyes and I'm leaning forward with a big *** grin on my face ahaha roflmao

[Nessa]

Me and Gollum (Gollum, not Smeagol) go waaay back. I saw the animated versions of both The Hobbit and The Return of the King when I was very young, before I read the books, and Gollum more than terrified me. I think while I read the books the first time those old images kept coming back to haunt me, and it really got in the way of how I felt about the character. I was too scared by him to feel bad for him, you know?

[legolaslover]

I like them all!! But if I had to pick one it would be Legolas Greenleaf!!

[HobbitFriend]

lol i can tell.... legolas lover ;) i liked Legolas too... and Frodo, and Sam, and Pippin, and.... okay so i like pretty much all the "good guys" :embarras: but if i have to choose ONE.......... no, too hard!.... Frodo and Sam - wait, that's 2! oh well! :grin:

[A! Elbereth]

Go HF, Go HF! :gofatty:

[TheRingBearer]

:grin:

[Bonos-Girl]

my brother's fave is aragorn because "he is perfect at everything...he's just class"...well there you have the expert opinion of my brothre!!!

[Little Devil]

Kinda surprised that nobodys fav charecter wos Gimli,:elfeek: Owell my fave charecter has 2 b..........mmmmmmmmmm LEGOLAS, damn he's soooo hot :loveyou:

Yeh I like the Hobbits 2, they're sweet!

[Ringwraith]

From the books, my favorites are the Ringwraiths.
From the movie, Boromir.

Why? We don't know anything about the guy, he doesn't really do much....and he's not really what i would call one lush lad...

He seems a bit dumb at times in the book too...didn't like gimli... :angry:

You know what? I 've had a kinda....renewed admiration for the lovely sean bean and boromir...he was portrayed SOOOOO well...i could really sense the troubles and confusion within the character. TOP ACTING! :thumbs: notworthy

I like the bit when elrond says "you have but one choice...the ring must be destroyed..." and boromir's face is distraught and pained...very nice. The key to acting is RE-ACTING (to other people's lines). :read:

[TheRingBearer]

Been doing your homework then Pil ;) :)

[Pil]

:huh: Have i done something stupid or was that serious? (i can never tell) :duh:

[Ringwraith]

Nah, your post was ok Pil. There's nothing wrong with it.

[TheRingBearer]

Yeah I was only joking :)

[Galadriel]

I don't really know who my favorite character is. There are so many to choose from. i mean I really like Pippin becasue he is really funny and cute in the movie but then I also like Aragon becasue he is very noble and cute. I also like Legolas becasue I just do. I mean I guess I would have to say the elves were my favorite but I am really not sure.
:elfqueen:

[Alkarie]

Most definitely fave character in book and film is Sam. He is the bravest, most loyal, and most optimistic character of them all.

Some other favourites are Boromir (he's not messed up, he's only HUMAN), Galadriel (just because she is so powerful and, ultimately, a bit dangerous), and Gandalf (sooooo cool book and awesomely portrayed in the movie)

[Gowpon]

:loveyou: Legolas!!!!:archer:
I don't think I have to explain why...everyone knows it!! lol

[Eowyn]

My favourite character is either legolas (he's hot) or Merry. I tried to think of a reason for merry but I can't, he just IS one of my fave characters.

I like Sam in the books but he is not as good in the film. And I agree that Sean Bean portrayed Boromir very well.

[Pil]

I AGREE WITH EVERYTHING YOU'VE JUST SAID EOWYN!!!!!! :cuddles:

1. A FELLOW MERRY FAN! WOO HOO! :hooray: :loveyou:
2. Legolas IS hot, i agree! :naughty:
3. I also preferred the sam in the books. :read:
4. I REALLY liked sean bean as boromir! :thumbs:

veryhappy

[Eowyn]

thank you! seems like we share similar opinions.

[Gowpon]

I still don't understand why my brother doesn't like Boromir...:(
He's brave, strong, cute (to his fans, he is :naughty: ), and the most important is---he represents humanity! He let people know that not everyone in the Fellowship is a super hero; everyone has his weakness! :thumbs:
LOTR isn't just an epic with magic and immortals running around killing orcs! It's also a story about friendship and honor! :thumbs: Even though Boromir's weakness makes him do the wrong thing, he was himself at the end...:) And that's what I like about him! :p

BTW...the reason why my brother doesn't like him is very very stupid...he said, "I don't like him because he dies."
---____--- :duh:

[Eowyn]

yes your brother is very stupid. That is such a pathetic excuse.

[Gowpon]

Eowyn...unfortunately that IS not an excuse...
It's the reason...and that's why it's soooo strange...lol

[Pil]

my brother is convinced that someone is going to die. I have told him a THOUSAND times... "NOBODY ELSE FROM THE FELLOWSHIP DIES!!!" :angry:

I agree that there was a need for that weakness...a human figure that we can relate to more than elves...dwarves...and men that are perfect (aragorn)... :)

[Tillia_hobbitlass]

FRODO!!!! I LOVE FRODO!!!!!!!
Frodo: Oh No here is comes.....
ME: *Gives a Frodo a SUPER Big Bear hug*
Frodo:@_@
ME: Look what you made me do!!! Are you okay Frodo?
Frodo: I....will....be...when....I...get...my ....breath.....back......
Sam: Poor Mister Frodo!!!

Yes I love Frodo. I really like his eyes. SO BIG and so Blue.....
*Grins* Well I got to go help frodo.
Sam: NO you Don't miz Tilly!
ME: Sam......

Tilly(Who is now in a nig fight with Sammie)

[Eowyn]

ok Gowpon. but tell your brother that there has to be a better reason than that.

We have really got off the point. wasn't this topic favourite characters and not least favourite characters? oh well.

[Eowyn]

wow tillia you really do like frodo!

[Bonos-Girl]

tillia...are you Sian???

[Pil]

Ignore that! lol :nono: lol

Don't you think it is so easy to like frodo? :huh: :(

[A! Elbereth]

She may have a very strong liking for Frodo..... but not as much as some people.....hehe :loveyou:

*Whistles innocently* ;) lol

[Eowyn]

haha! wow! I never realised. :p

Personally I prefer Merry to Frodo. :loveyou:

[Bonos-Girl]

mery is cool.....frodo's really fragile.....hmmmm....

[TheRingBearer]

Yeah but he's still cool :)

[Pil]

:cool:

[Akiba]

ok I have to say Legolas is my favorite character his just so hot!! I basically like every main character(based on the movie cause I haven't read the book) I dn't care much for Gandalf or Frodo(sorry aboutthat) also love lord elrod and arwen basically all the elves and I find pippin so comedy(is tis too long) yeah I'm new by the way ^_^

[Catz]

welcome Akiba......have you posted in the Welcome forum yet? it just gives everyone a chance to say Hi...
and youre a brave soul saying that in front of the Pervy Hobbit Fanciers:elfeek: ;) lol lol
:catz:

[Akiba]

yeah myapologies to all Frodo fans hope I didn't make any enemies so quickly

[Legolas' Angel]

When most people prefer Frodo (Elijah Wood) or any of the Hobbits my favvourite would have to be Legolas, even though my name gives it away.

Legolas is soooooooooooo cute and so is Orlando Bloom!!! =)

[TheRingBearer]

I like Frodo and Legolas but for their characters not for their looks as I'm a guy (let me just make that clear lol) But even I must admit they really do look the part.

And welcome Legolas Angel. Hope you feel at home :grin:

[Akiba]

I watched the movie right now again and I love that little dance frodo does I think that's te only secne I really pay attention to him in all before he leaves hobbiton I also realized how nice Gandaf was in the beginning and made me like him a little still not close to one of my fav character Legolas will always Rule! Oh yeah

[A! Elbereth]

Thank you akiba! Its nice to hear someone appreciating Frodo's will to dance, instead of making fun! :flamer:

*glances with an evil expression at those who made fun of dear Frodo*

[Akiba]

I find it pretty cute in a funny way and I would never ever dream of making fun of frodo -_^
*akiba cackles evilly to herself then goes completely mad*

[Bonos-Girl]

it is pretty amusing.......frodo dancing....fine

frodo dancing like a demented chicken......heeellll no!!!!

[Little Devil]

Demented chicken dance!!!!!! That's hilairious!!! lol lol roflmao

[Akiba]

Demented chicken.... never looked at it as demented and now it is completely hilarious

[The Conjuror]

My fave in the book is Tom Bombadil however is absent in the film. Why was this? Gollum is also pretty cool.

[Akiba]

I find Gollum kinda creepy and I kinda feel sorry for hm and don't ask me why cause I really have no clue

[Gowpon]

Same here, I feel really sorry for him.
I think it's because the ring changed him and made him become who he is--Gollum. Pretty sad, huh?
And I think that's also why Frodo pity him. It's not a wonder that the little wretched gets himself killed at the end...

[Pil]

My brother asked me to explain why when 'gollum' (which we know is deagol, but MEANT to be smeagol) picks up the ring from the water it is a normal hand, and how it changes into gollum's horrible hand. I tried to explain how the ring changed and tortured his existence into the wretched from he becomes...and i suddenly felt an overwhelming sadness and pity for him. mecry

[Eowyn]

I feel sorry for him too!

[A! Elbereth]

Originally posted by akiba

pfbbt Never upset Elbereth! It is NOT pretty!!!! lol ;)

I used step by step play on my computer when Frodo's dancing, and it looks like he's the center of attention...:elfeek: :cool: and some girl hobbit is flirting with him!!!! GRRRRRRRRRRR verymad :elfeek: :angry:

:flamer: :flamer: :flamer:

....erm... yeah :blush: :blush:

[Little Devil]

Really? :o I've never noticed it.

[A! Elbereth]

yeah! Just pause it before he dances and play it slow motion, or step by step, and the girl is flirting while dancing with him, and everyone is in a circle around him clapping

Apparently, the 'chicken dance' is quite popular in Hobbiton pfbbt

[Akiba]

hey blame bonos-girl for the dmented chicken idea no way would want to get A!Elberth mad (crazy pervy hobbit fanciers) just kiddinglol there are way too many of you to really say and mean that ( akiba decides to stop before she starts to get stuff thrown at her by hobbit fanciers)

[Pil]

:trout: comin' your way! Only joking mate! :cuddles:

I KNOW A! Elbereth! Get ur hands off him! we shout to those tarts that call themselves hobbits...ok...i know they're not tarts...at all...but who KNOWS who they might have picked up in hobbiton! :( Even my dear merry may have been evily seduced by one of them! mecry

[Bonos-Girl]

ummmm....yes....i guess.....although there wasn't much chance of that during the 'mission....quest....thing' was there??!!!!
