And welcome to CI, Oakenshield! Your first topic started came as no suprise to me considering your name. :)

My favorite scenes would have to be the Rohirrim's sally from the Hornburg...

Their charge against the besieging Orc army...

and the charge against the Mumakil of Harad.

The film-makers totally ruined the Battle of the Pelennor Fields in the movie by ending it with the Deadmen of Dunharrow pouring out into the field like a tsunami, magically killing the enemy on contact.

They should have kept true to the book and had the allies led by Aragorn flank them from the river.

Oh... The Hobbit was really good, too!! Yeah, I was sorta dissipointed about Arwen's brothers not being in the movies... Guess the producers thought they were paying enough money hiring all those orcs!! :scratchchin:

Welcome Thorin, King under the Mountain :gandalf:

As a purist, I have no liking for the LOTR movies or the recent Hobbit one. The books I know too well for to see them tampered with so. :-)

Tom Bombadil has his place in LOTR. Unfortunately this section is left out in the superior to the movie BBC radio dramatization. Thankfully there is an audio version of Bombadil so I can maintain integrity when I listen to this great story.

So how many of you dwarves and hobbits out there have a churchwarden pipe? :smile:

or The One Ring? :wink:

Actually, I have churchwarden pipes lining the walls of my Great Hall! As for the One Ring... welllll... I'm working on it, but Bilbo is being very mysterious as to where he is hiding it. Any ideas? :scratchchin:
