but unless he had always sounded like the creepy freak that the other River Folk were never allowed to play with, I think the voice was too much too soon.
*giggles hysterically* Very good point.
Why does Arwen throw off her cloak as she runs up the steps to yell at her dad? It looks very dramatic, but sheesh, Arwen, someone's going to have to pick that up, you know, and I think the servants have sailed off by now.
Hee! Another good point, and I was thinking the exact same thing. It reminded me of my sister, who is always dropping clothes wherever, and all I could think was "Hey! Don't be such a slob for the sake of dramatic flair!"
"without Tom Bombadil there is no point to this movie and Peter Jackson might just as well have seduced goats on Tolkien's grave" "Éomer Son of Éomund's House of Steaks."
*dies* You are in fine form with this review, m'dear :)
Speaking of which (well, not really, but...), the whole Legolas vs. the oliphaunt thing was goofy and unnecessary (and not as cool as the leaping on the horse thing in TTT), but I do like his expression after he leaps off and lands in front of Gimli. He does this little head-toss thing and barely raises an eyebrow, like, "So what did you think of that?" Aw, he wants Gimli to be impressed. Yay OTP!
Hee! Yes! All their showing off is so foreplay.
"I see you!"- Sauron, at least once in all three movies. Cha, dude, you're an eyeball.
This line made me giggle like a mad, mad thing. Even more so because now that I've watched JoA, I know where you picked up the "Cha" thing *g*
There's Aragorn (and is it me, or does his accent sound odd in that scene?)
Yes! I was going to comment on that, and I'm glad it's not just me. He sounded so...um, southern almost? He was drawing out his vowels so much, and it really sounded odd and jarring.
Hope your arm is feeling better now. Odd how we get these little injuries without knowing where or how we got them. I'm that way with bruises.
