The book are just a small part of Tolkien's work. They are, however, much deeper than the movie. They are also a review of industrialization and standardization. The way how the ring is destroyed in the book is also indicative of Tolkien's spirit, and it is better than in the movie. Read one of Tolkien's book is not listening to a particular story, it is travelling in a complete new world.
@theseekersring ya for the close up shots of the actors lol there were rlly 20 somethin' but a few had to leave because it was harvest season and bc it just got too hot
@AmoTodaLaMusica not in the trilogy. there are many more lotr books, (hobbit, silmarilion, etc) but those aren't part of the series that was made into movies.
They shouldn't make The Hobbit.. instead they should make The Silmarillion, which is about the first age... its battles are the most epic ones that middle earth has ever seen!
@joemck74 I make her win, don't worry =) But it does help that the oldest of her brothers commands an army =)
And she starts innocent enough, but after her father, a friend of hers and the younger of the adoptive brother are killed, she goes around killing enemy foot soldiers. And what to make of the girl who will (a lot later) become her (double) sister-in-law? She's 12, and yet accompanies her brother into battle - and she's effective as well. Enough agression to make them antiheroes? =)
@Aornal well the heroes in my stories are either women or dark, brooding men (don't know why I make them dark...hrrm...). They (both sexes) always tend to be gaunt, intellectual, slightly mad, full of love and passion...but also have to fight eternal demons. Nothing to do with my personal psychology: I live in a happy small farming town!
@Aornal all the main characters i make are women....uhm just throwing that out there no reason i guess just to let u know ur not the only one who likes female heroes
@Aornal How are you writing a novel and not know the gender of your main protagonist? And why are you leaving it to youtubers to decide? And definately make it a girl. Make her kick ass.
@Zxceelxuz Its not just the length of time though... I tried reading it, not good. I dont think a movie could ever do well. I think some of the other books he wrote might... but i personally don't think they should or will. Th fanbase for the other isnt large enough.
@iFraser92 The Hobbit is the prequel to The Lord Of The Rings and it is being made into a two part film at the moment and the first part is due to come out in 2012.
@templar01100 Tolkein has been deceased for quite some time, the books that keep coming out are all based on his notes. he wrote pretty much the whole history of middle earth up to the end of LotR.
Great line of movies, but a whole better line of books. I recommend the LOTR books to everyone, if u seen the movies already and u didnt read the books (which is most probable) u will se how much of the LOTR is missing in the movies.
they are making that movie now or actually its going to be three and it will be about bilbo baggins so yes they will make a movie about the book ''the little hobbit'' (btw the first book of the LOTR saga, and the first book J.R.R tolkien wrote) actually i am kinda excited :D
@iFraser92 Yes it was ,it was the best movie ever, I bought the videos of the trilogy so now I can watch LOTR whenever I need to see it again. Cant wait to see the Hobbit when it comes out though, how about you?
@iFraser92 if it went any further....i would of been depressed, the book series was amazing and LOTR is the gold standard for Fantasy novels and movies, but the ending was final and a really good ending at that.
@iFraser92 If the books' battle descriptions are anything to go by, the battles of the First Age against Melkor were far more epic than those of the Third Age as depicted in Jackson's LOTR movies
@boonw WHAT! Get your facts straight kid. Tolkien HAD THE ENTIRE WORLD. Lord of the Rings was ALL made in one mind. Tolkien MADE UP AN ENTIRELY NEW LANGUAGE. Get a better fucking education on what a good and bad writer is. As for the director. HE WOULD NOT HAVE DONE THIS if not for Tolkien's MIND.
"Tolkien HAD THE ENTIRE WORLD. Lord of the Rings was ALL made in one mind"
That doesnt mean the books didnt suck. A lot of books do that.
"Tolkien MADE UP AN ENTIRELY NEW LANGUAGE"
Again, it doesnt mean that the books didnt suck. Not unique.
"Get a better fucking education on what a good and bad writer is"
A good writer advances the plot and focuses on character development. A bad one deviates from both of those for long tedious off topic stories that have no significance.
"HE WOULD NOT HAVE DONE THIS if not for Tolkien's MIND."
Which was the point I made in the original comment. The books suck, the movies are good. Its like the original fallout games, they suck to the high heavens, but then a company with talent bought the rights and made something awesome out of it. The quality of the movies and books are not correlated.
Hell, the only reason the books are remembered is because there was nothing else like them at the time.
@boonw So says he who has probably never read them from front to back. Your comment suggests that you like your entertainment in bite-size chunks which doesn't require you to sit through the bits that you find boring. The books are far more detailed and richer than the films which, albeit entertaining, do not convey the reasons for which Tolkien wrote the book. The film and radio adaptations that were made of it in his day rarely got his approval because they missed the point, as you have.
"So says he who has probably never read them from front to back"
I read halfway through the trilogy before I said "fuck this, I am watching the movies and then reading harry potter"
"The books are far more detailed and richer than the films"
No, they just went off topic on random stories with no significance to the plot of characters. Just because Jackson realized that nobody wants to see Tom Bombadil, doesnt mean the films were lesser than the books.
@boonw No offense, but how would you know how significant these "random stories" are to the plot of the characters if you only read through half the trilogy?
Because these random stories that were mentioned out of nowhere and went on for several pages were never mentioned again in the book,or were specific for something in the region. example:I recall one time they were talking about some ruin they spent the night at.Instead of skipping to the important events,they went on for several pages about its history,the guy who built it,what he did there,and then sang a song about it.
Besides,I also asked someone who read the whole thing.
@boonw But IMHO, these stories are what form the backbone of the world that Tolkein envisioned. Without them, it is just another fantasy series. However, to me, and to I'm sure to many others, these stories make the series so much better than other fantasy series. In response to your comment about the movies selling more than the book, I think that happened because it requires much less effort of will and imagination to watch a movie than to read a book.
@boonw But of course I respect and understand your opinion about the books - I myself had a hard time occasionally reading them because of how incredibly detailed and long-winded they were, even though I enjoyed reading them immensely.
@boonw And no, I'm not getting into pointless arguments either. Just because you think the books suck doesn't mean that they do. You see, your own logic can work both ways. The book has sold in its millions - and did so long before the movies. Oh dear, seems that all those mere mortals who bought the book got it wrong. Yeah right! Still, there are those who think that Mozart was crap, that pavarotti couldn't sing, or that Laurence Olivier couldn't act - all based on personal opinion, not fact.
"Just because you think the books suck doesn't mean that they do"
I am going to mostly agree with you here. Quality in literature is subjective, so no matter what you believe regarding if it is good or not, you are technically right..
"The book has sold in its millions - and did so long before the movies"
The movies sold more tickets and copies in months than the books sold in decades. RoK made 377 million and has a 94% on rotten tomatoes.
@itsaki24 corection. made it. its called the serch for gollem. it was made after the movies with the same cast i think. but if your talking about the origional hobbit then ya u are corect
Im sorry, I hate to do this, but by youtube law Im forced to assume you recorded this with some sort of fruit or vegatable, or any other item not normally associated with filmography.

Again, it doesnt mean that the books didnt suck. Not unique.
"Get a better fucking education on what a good and bad writer is"
A good writer advances the plot and focuses on character development. A bad one deviates from both of those for long tedious off topic stories that have no significance.

"HE WOULD NOT HAVE DONE THIS if not for Tolkien's MIND."
Which was the point I made in the original comment. The books suck, the movies are good. Its like the original fallout games, they suck to the high heavens, but then a company with talent bought the rights and made something awesome out of it. The quality of the movies and books are not correlated.
Hell, the only reason the books are remembered is because there was nothing else like them at the time.

@boonw So says he who has probably never read them from front to back. Your comment suggests that you like your entertainment in bite-size chunks which doesn't require you to sit through the bits that you find boring. The books are far more detailed and richer than the films which, albeit entertaining, do not convey the reasons for which Tolkien wrote the book. The film and radio adaptations that were made of it in his day rarely got his approval because they missed the point, as you have.

"So says he who has probably never read them from front to back"
I read halfway through the trilogy before I said "fuck this, I am watching the movies and then reading harry potter"
"The books are far more detailed and richer than the films"
No, they just went off topic on random stories with no significance to the plot of characters. Just because Jackson realized that nobody wants to see Tom Bombadil, doesnt mean the films were lesser than the books.
Btw: did you see the extended?

@boonw No offense, but how would you know how significant these "random stories" are to the plot of the characters if you only read through half the trilogy?

Because these random stories that were mentioned out of nowhere and went on for several pages were never mentioned again in the book,or were specific for something in the region. example:I recall one time they were talking about some ruin they spent the night at.Instead of skipping to the important events,they went on for several pages about its history,the guy who built it,what he did there,and then sang a song about it.
Besides,I also asked someone who read the whole thing.

@boonw But IMHO, these stories are what form the backbone of the world that Tolkein envisioned. Without them, it is just another fantasy series. However, to me, and to I'm sure to many others, these stories make the series so much better than other fantasy series. In response to your comment about the movies selling more than the book, I think that happened because it requires much less effort of will and imagination to watch a movie than to read a book.

@boonw But of course I respect and understand your opinion about the books - I myself had a hard time occasionally reading them because of how incredibly detailed and long-winded they were, even though I enjoyed reading them immensely.

@boonw And no, I'm not getting into pointless arguments either. Just because you think the books suck doesn't mean that they do. You see, your own logic can work both ways. The book has sold in its millions - and did so long before the movies. Oh dear, seems that all those mere mortals who bought the book got it wrong. Yeah right! Still, there are those who think that Mozart was crap, that pavarotti couldn't sing, or that Laurence Olivier couldn't act - all based on personal opinion, not fact.

"Just because you think the books suck doesn't mean that they do"
I am going to mostly agree with you here. Quality in literature is subjective, so no matter what you believe regarding if it is good or not, you are technically right..
"The book has sold in its millions - and did so long before the movies"
The movies sold more tickets and copies in months than the books sold in decades. RoK made 377 million and has a 94% on rotten tomatoes.
