'Twas a dark day in the cutting room for ROTK...
|
I don't know what Jackson, Walsh, and Boyens were smoking when they decided to cut out all these extra scenes from the theatrical version, but I'm telling you it was something potent. The theatrical version was far too scattered and jumpy, nothing flowed, and so many important parts from the book were missing. However, the extended version flows SO much better, and some of the best scenes were missing. (And don't use the "oh then it would be too long" argument, because if you can't sit down for a good 4 hours for LOTR, you don't deserve to watch it anyways.)
And it should be a crime to tell the tale of Eowyn and not conclude it with her romance with Faramir. At least a misdemeanor. So let me tell you, don't watch the regular ROTK, only the extended, especially if you're a Tolkien fan. The only deleted scene that I'm really glad they deleted was the one with all the skulls falling out..yeah that was dumb.
As for the retelling of ROTK in general: Mostly good, missed ALOT from the book (NEVER replace the book with the movie...NEVER) but understandably could not include everything. However, they did make some boo-boos. The part where Sam and Frodo's friendship seemed comprised--hi, that went directly against the book and what Tolkien was communicating in their friendship. Quite blasphemous I tell you. Fast-forward that part.
But I still respect the job they did, and although they don't do the book justice, the story is just so good that I had to give it a 5 stars. LOTR is definitely difficult to put onscreen, and I commend the makers.
