Lord of the Rings: The One With The Wedding

The comprehensive theonering.net gives us spoiler pictures for Return of the King, and I’m getting worried.
The Two Towers was good; not as good as Fellowship, but still the best film of 2002. The thing that stopped it being better than its predecessor was the Quake-brown medieval aura surrounding it. Too much riding hither to battleth yonder orcs. It didn’t feel magic enough, and I don’t mean in the wand zapping sense. If I wanted to see a medieval film, I’d watch Evil Dead 3 again, which all of the battle scenes from TTT were stolen from anyway. Seeing these pictures of ROTK makes me think uh-oh. The battles are even bigger and the mud even browner. I know the story is about magic leaving the world and the age of men beginning, but films can easily be magical without featuring actual magic.
Please don’t ruin it, Mr Jackson. Give us more stuff like this Gollum plush doll. I don’t want the best film of 2003 to be Phone Booth.
Post Scriptum 19/1/2004: Phone Booth came third, after Pirates and ROTK.
No way will Return of the King not be the best movie of 2003. Even if it was only a decent movie (Although I’m sure it will be fantastic) it would still top all the other releases this year. The Two Towers is only the middle of the story. Like all story it helps to develop the plot and does tend to slow down before the Climax (Return of the King). Although I’m not a Tolkien Nut like a lot of people around, I love the story that was read to me while I was still in diapers and have read many times since. It is a story of overcomming obstacles and putting the needs of others ahead of your own. The Books are magical.. the Movies have been magical.
To think that LOTR is ripping off of anything that has come before especially Army of darkness is ridiculous. I’m a huge fan of both the evil dead movies, army of darkess and all the LOTR movies and books, so I can tell you the two towers didnt rip off anything from army of darkness that’s just a ignorant comment. I love army of darkness but The two towers is a much better movie in every way, and in some elements it’s better than fellowship but I would rather not compare them both because they are part of a bigger story where all the elements are equally important. Honestly though did you think that the LOTR was only about magic?? War and everything it involves is one of the primary story points of LOTR, and to say Mr. jackson don’t ruin it? I suggest you keep your comments regarding Peter jackson because I don’t think you could handle what this man went through to give us the great LOTR trilogy, until you do the same and better I suggest you keep your mouth shut.
why is there no pictures of the army of the dead. the best part of the movie is the army of the dead. need pictures
