Story is so enormous it’s really hard for any movie to cover it all? But all the speeches moved to the wrong people was confusing? Rohirrim didn’t cry death as they went into battle( though they did apparently sing) crying death only happened after Eomer found his sister he thought dead on the battle field after fight with Nazgûl captain.

The movie downgraded many characters. It is 2 tenths worthy. There is still a production to be made that truly honors this magnificent tale. And that's an opportunity. Hooray!

I enjoyed the movie. Did it t|ell the whole story? No. Are three 3+ hour movies sufficient to tell; the tale of The Lord of the Rings? Not by a long shot! I would hazard a guess that a script that includes everything that people want would require at least 12 films of nearly 3+ hours each. Perhaps a television miniseries would be a more appropriate venue through which to present Tolkien's tale of Middle Earth and the Golden Ring.

Great idea about a series - I found the films disappointing mainly because they didn’t have the time to unfold the story and the characters. I thought Peter Jackson did a great job in terms of production and characters (except Farimir, miscast as a dope) but even with three films they were always going to be short. A series would be brilliant 😊

The movie was already too long.

I still thought the movie did a decent job portraying it. There just simply was not enough time to have all of these discussions including people like bilbo's. Gandalf basically explains the whole back story in the film himself to frodo at bag end. And galadriel does a voice over at the start. There was simply too much. We didnt REALLLY need to hear all about gollum at the council and his part. They were able to do it much quicker in the film. But I still love the book better!!

If you havent listened to the fall of gondolin yet on here....do it. Its great. Its the ages before the ring...the first elves on middle earth, the valar, and morgoth who makes sauron sound like a puppy.

@@skillsmachine9164if you haven’t listened to it yet you’ve gotta listen to the lotr audiobooks by Phil Dragash.. he uses music and sound effects from the movies, it’s really the most cinematic audiobook experience I’ve ever had by far, they are absolutely amazing

Complaining about a free thing. Go buy it then

@@guybrushthreepwood8174 What are you, capitalism's guardian angel? Saying you are glad to have such recordings and politely pointing out that because of the way they are arranged does not seem to me to be a major crime of any sort. But I see no reason anyway why a person shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth. I hope you at least refrain from listening to these recordings since the person who loses out on a sale here is not the one who gave it as a gift after all.

Sorry, but that's been done, masterfully by the Harvard Lampoon (fore-rumner of National Lampoon) in "Bored of the Ring" novel The boggie Frito Bugger of the Sty, nephew of Dildo Bugger. With his accomplice Spam Gangree and the idiot twins Moxie and Pepsi. The wizard Goodgulf, and Stomper aka Arrowroot, son of Arrowshrt. Gimlet son of Groin, and Legolam the elf. Racing against the Nozdrul of dark Lord Sorehead and their legions of Narcs.

Try moving the red dot to the end for a replay.....it sometimes work to end the ads. May need to do it a few times. Hopefully it will work.

@@raziamohamed4585 thanks for your tips, godbless.

They do at times; and then they suddenly become gentle and high-pitched. Elves aren´t just strong. They´re multi-faceted beings, as they´re so old. Merry, light-hearted, wise, brave, tough, serene, kind and gentle, outspoken, artistic, grieving the lost past... Perhaps that´s why Rob Inglis made their voices change their pitch so often.

10 times at least

I have actually read the books 4 rimes. Including the Hobbit. Listened to audio several times

I’ve read it at least 6 times and listened to various audios countless times. I always enjoy it and am never tired of any part of it.

​@lukethomas216 same once I found this audiobook I just keep playing it before bed. I love this chapter and the ones that follow with the ring going south. Then the stairs of cirith ungol!

I've read a one volume edition and a three volume edition to tatters. I stopped counting how many times that took 🫢
