So many mixed feelings about this movie. On the one hand, it has songs like this and It's So Easy Not to Try. On the other hand, it really abbreviates the story, has some weird voice-acting, and doesn't bother to explain much of what's needed.
Then there's Where There's a Whip. It's so much fun, but doesn't belong in a Lord of the Rings movie.
I don't care what anybody else says, I really like this movie. I think it actually captures the spirit of the books better than Jackson's version. :) Thanks for posting this!
East is West Now? or does Gandalf have a hard time with maps, he just went on a fishing trip and ended up on middlearth because he thought he was going west back to Aman
@timenyart no, cirith ungol and cirith gorgol both lay to the west, but aragorn had to march north and THEN back west to meet that pass, gaurded by the towers.
@LordComma East dude , East, pay attention to the map, alright, Gandalf, in this movie got it completely wrong, Mordor is to the East along with Cirith Ungol and Gorgor, and the Sea, Gondor and Valinor all ly to the East
There must be an orc band and choir sitting right behind the wall in order to produce mood music and singing at exactly the right moments. An orc on the wall gives them cues.
Also, what strong voices, they can be heard almost as far away as Gondor in the march sequence.
There are really only a couple problems with this film, mostly centered around the weird narration Gandalf gives... I like the songs a lot, but the Orcs singing is kinda silly, and the weird thing about hobbits "becoming" more like humans makes no sense... IDK if they were trying to say hobbits and men become one species somehow... anyway... it's weird... I appreciate that this movie really uses a lot of Tolkien's dialogue, though. It is mostly very true to Tolkien's feel.
Win the battle, lose the war, Choice of evils lie before your feet, Retreat, Retreat, Retreat! If you win then you will lose, Choice of evils yours to choose, Retreat... Retreat, retreat, retreat! You are standing in the eye of the storm, Move an inch, and you'll be dead, You are standing underneath, the towers of the Teeth, and the Eye...blazes red!
Because the movie is based entirely on the third book, The Return of the King, and Aragorn didn't appear very much in that one. They could have added more Aragorn scenes, of course, but you can only fit so much into an 80-minute movie, and he wasn't the main character, so the new scenes went to the Hobbits.
@beamerball666 Sort of. Sauron was one of the Maiar, the Balrogs were also a sub-group of Maiar but Sauron was not a Balrog. Aragorn was just stating The Mouth of Sauron was better suited than the Nazgul for speaking on Sauron's behalf rather than just attacking them right away.
This movie' all right. My main issue with it is that it doesn't give enough time to properly develop its characters. Aragorn's the title character and he has approximately 9 lines.
Not so much directed at you as inspired by you, 67nairb.
Also, you focus on "Gorugoroth" while ignoring "See-rith Ungol"? I can't decide whether that shows misplaced priorities, or a spirit that I should commend for not being pedantic and fanboyish enough to point out that it's pronounced "Kee-rith Oongol."
I can point out an error in Gandalf's directions. He says go north and then west, but that would take them to Rohan. The right direction would've been east. I always joke that he drank a bit too much ale after the battle. :)
(Seriously, though, that's pretty cool, even if it does make me imagine a scene in which the Towers of the Teeth have a hallway full of doors, and Aragorn and company lead the forces of darkness on a merry chase to the tune of "Yakety Sax"... which has naturally been mashed up with "Where There's a Whip.")
You know, I like a lot of things about this version of The Return of the King - some ironically, some not - but seriously, this version of the mouth of Sauron looks like he should be saying "And the Dark Lord would have gotten away with it if it weren't for you meddling kids!"
0:02-0:08-the man flanking Aragorn on the right is Eomer. Gimli & Legolas could've made an appearance in this ROTK tv special as extras and not say anything.
@OmarioMufc Of course who else could it be his regular conductor got killed at the Battle of Minas Tirith Sauron himself had to step sorry if I mispelled anything it's almost 3 in the morning&i'm tired
@LordGodsServant Indeed. And this Mouth fits the book's description WAY better than the live action one. He's a human sellout, not a Lovecraft reject portrayed by CGI that looks less convincing than the movie version of the Ninja Megafalconzord.
@ZeldaTheSwordsman I thought that the Peter Jackson version was a bit overplayed but still fit the theme. But oh well, to each his own. Thanks for the reply :)
@LordGodsServant Indeed. And this Mouth fits the book's description WAY better than the live action one. He's a human sellout, not a Lovecraft reject whose mouth was done with CGI that looks less convincing than the movie version of the Ninja Megafalconzord.
Sauron personally hired the Haradrim's best Band and Choir directors to direct bands to make mood music. They're sitting behind the gates in this case some soldiers on the top are giving them cues on when to stop and start playing.
(seriously, the Orcs have the best singing voices in these movies, they must have formed several big brass bands :D )
listen to Aragorn say "We shall see" at 3:32, OMG, I couldn't stop laughing, that is youtube poop material on the level of: "...NO", and "what the F...auuaahhh!!!", and "Its over 9 THOUSAND!!!"
So much more like the Aragorn of the books than in the live-action film, in this regard, at least---Aragorn wouldn't randomly lose his temper and behead an unarmed emissary.
@brownqs The only problem here is that, in the beginning, it seems to be more that Aragorn's arrogant, and actually believes he has a chance to fight through the forces arrayed at the Black Gate. Peter Jackson did get the part that the battle was a diversion right; Handling of the Mouth part? No, but it still decrees a badass move. What better way to make someone want to attack you than to cut down one of your lieutenants? Anyways, both versions were awesome to me.
@dujl Indeed. The only reason I said he was arrogant was that he didn't seem to be as respectful of Gandalf, just calling him 'wizard' when they were good friends in the book, and he makes no mention about helping Frodo like in the book. The book does the scene much better, in that Aragorn know's he's likely leading these men to their deaths but is willing to do it to save all of Middle Earth. This scene just doesn't seem to catch that part to me. Anyways, You broughtup a great point. Thanks.
@LSKennedy78 The book definitely does it better, but to me it merely sounded like Aragon was being a bit light-hearted, and jokingly spurring his friend to show hope in light of what was to come. That's my take on it, anyway. :)
@brownqs Yes it sure does, why making Aragorn an arrogant prick is the right way to go! Seriously this isn't Aragorn, in the book, Aragorn was more respectful to Gandalf since they were friends and this scene makes it look like Aragorn cares nothing for his men nor mentions it would be a diversion to draw Sauron's attention, allowing Frodo and Sam to make their way to Mt. Doom. Also horrible voice acting at 3:31 It sounds like a robot is saying that line.
Bentheman11 is correct - the whole purpose of this military campaign is to divert Sauron's attention so Frodo and Sam can get to Mount Doom. If it really came down to a pitched battle, the forces of Mordor would obliterate Aragorn and company; their intention was to camp and wait out a battle in the hopes Frodo could destroy the ring before Sauron sent his army to crush them.
@BENTHEMAN11 I don't know why the film fails to mention this, but the whole purpose of marching on the gate is to buy time for Frodo, not to achieve any sort of military victory. They certainly were not equipped for anything but a suicide mission.
wait a minute.aragorn says'' the king of gondor demand the black lord to come forth'' aragorn is not king yet.he won't be crowned till the end of the movie.
As poorly done as these films were, I still love them for introducing me to Tolkien's fantastic world. At the time I was maybe 10, and reading LOTR was a monumental task that i didn't accomplish until I was 14. I owe a lot to these films.
@DranGore3 Spelling doesn't have anything to do with it. If you're going to read from Tolkien should at least know how to pronounce the word properly. Peter Jackson's film trilogy had Tolkien scholars working on it to make sure of that.
True fact: the people who made this movie mispronounced everything: "Goru-Goruth plateau", "Sirith Ungol", and my personal favorite, the Dark Lord "Sore-on". Look it up on Wikipedia. It even shows you how to pronounce everything. Peter Jackson did an infinitely better job on that note, if you want proof.
is it just me or does the mouth of sauron look like a tall version of pippin on drugs? its sad to say it, I'm a fan of the movies and the books, but the mouth of sauron looks like a druggie.
@Russellt0228 Two days? Heh. It's been running through my head at odd moments for two decades. Along with the theme from Hogan's Heroes. And.....well, you get the picture.
One of the things I noticed last time I watched this was that, despite being the title character, Aragorn has approximately 9 lines in the whole movie.
whenever I'm presented with a particularly promising or troubling situation i spontaneously break out into song that's appropriate to the mood, with a surprisingly charming baritone despite my homely appearance and absolutely no rehearsing whatsoever. because rehearsing would just be silly.
HEY!!!!! some people want to watch this without your words popping up in the comments. Most people enjoy listening to the funny songs and watching Gandalf point around on a map giving directions that he contradicts with his hilariously long finger.
I have seen this movies dozens of times and for the first time I realized that Gimli was never depicted. Aragorn, Gandalf, The hobbits and Legolas were all depicted (Legolas never mentioned but clearly there) but poor Gimli was not in the movie.
See I LOVE Jackson's movies, but I will admit I can see why he cut out the Mouth of Sauron and Witch-King vs Gandalf versions (still available in the extended versions though). The voice of the Witch-King didn't work for me in this, but I give them a pat on the back for following their own design kinda like the book and the Mouth of Sauron still creeped me out here (his eyes reminded me of Palpatine's). The men and orcs have great singing voices too. Massively underated classics these movies.
Mouth of sauron: :"I am a scrawny whelp with a freakishly deep voice and insecurities about my complexion. suffer for my misery. graaah"

As poorly done as these films were, I still love them for introducing me to Tolkien's fantastic world. At the time I was maybe 10, and reading LOTR was a monumental task that i didn't accomplish until I was 14. I owe a lot to these films.

This clip deviates from the book in that it shows Aragorn deciding to invade Mordor instead of merely engaging them to buy time for Frodo.

Ugh, the pronunciations are terrible. Especially the name of the Enemy, it's pronounced Sour-on not Sore-on.

@DranGore3 Spelling doesn't have anything to do with it. If you're going to read from Tolkien should at least know how to pronounce the word properly. Peter Jackson's film trilogy had Tolkien scholars working on it to make sure of that.
Martintheauthor 1 year ago
True fact: the people who made this movie mispronounced everything: "Goru-Goruth plateau", "Sirith Ungol", and my personal favorite, the Dark Lord "Sore-on". Look it up on Wikipedia. It even shows you how to pronounce everything. Peter Jackson did an infinitely better job on that note, if you want proof.

@NightMarkVII Good joke. The gates of Narchost and Charchost, the Towers of the Teeth, are opened and closed by Trolls.

This version's Gandalf is a wuss. They knew they couldn't beat Sauron, the whole point was it was a diversion.

One of the things I noticed last time I watched this was that, despite being the title character, Aragorn has approximately 9 lines in the whole movie.

whenever I'm presented with a particularly promising or troubling situation i spontaneously break out into song that's appropriate to the mood, with a surprisingly charming baritone despite my homely appearance and absolutely no rehearsing whatsoever. because rehearsing would just be silly.

It's funny how so many trash these cartoons for the songs when the songs are actually in the book (most of them anyway).
I think these cartoons are pretty cool. The art is awesome and in it's condensed form, still tells the story well.

I have seen this movies dozens of times and for the first time I realized that Gimli was never depicted. Aragorn, Gandalf, The hobbits and Legolas were all depicted (Legolas never mentioned but clearly there) but poor Gimli was not in the movie.

See I LOVE Jackson's movies, but I will admit I can see why he cut out the Mouth of Sauron and Witch-King vs Gandalf versions (still available in the extended versions though). The voice of the Witch-King didn't work for me in this, but I give them a pat on the back for following their own design kinda like the book and the Mouth of Sauron still creeped me out here (his eyes reminded me of Palpatine's). The men and orcs have great singing voices too. Massively underated classics these movies.
