LotR Or LotR movie

[Maeglin]

I first read the book 2 years before the movie came out. The second time I read the book I had decided already what I think I really want to do with my life, which is be a movie director or writer, and I thought to myself "wow it would be a good idea to make a movie out of this book", but then that jerk Peter Jackson beat me to it and that got me mad enough, but then when I saw the movie and saw that he had taken out Glorfindel and Bombadil etc. I was vehement. All well, I guess I can just ask for permission when I grow up to add in all the parts that were missed even if they weren't very significant, It will be sort of like a super extended version dvd of LotR.:cool: :D

my mom read the books to me when i was little for bed time stories after we finished the hobbit cause i wanted more. i haven't read the hobbit since. but being the fan of tolkien that my mom is she took me and my 2 brothers to see the midnight showing the night before the movie came out. so i read the books again. so you could say i read them before i saw it. but i didn't really read them till after i saw it.

I started reading the books before I saw the movie. I was at the end of the Two Towers when I saw the movie for the first time. After that, I read Return of the King in about a day.

I always read very, very fast. It amazes me sometimes too. I read the entire trilogy in about a week.

I read LOTR six years ago,so that's loooong before any movie plans were even made. I think it is better to read the book first and then see the movie,so you can create the "pictures" according to your imagination.

I started reading the book when I heard the movie was coming out. Cause I always like to know th book story first, but I didn't get time to finish it. So when
I first watched the movie I didn't understand one thing and when I saw it after I had read the movie I understod it

[LadyGaladriel]

I read the books b4 I even heard about the movies.

The movies were great but at the end of the day the mind can see better than the eye.

EDIT:- Welcome Lady Arwen to The Forum. Ill post more in your new members thread when I get a chance

The problem is that somethings look different then you think they look. But I think the movie was good anyway.

EDIT:Thanks LadyGalandriel

i agree I like MY version of the better than the movie.I can see tom b i thought at first he wasin it because i could see him in my head so clearly!:D

and they cut out Glornfindel! How could they!

[Maeglin]

I agree, Evil PJ! I'll have to remake the movie and put Glorfindel in it.:D

I think there id a good side to having seen the movie and then read the book. Not that I would recomend that to anyone, but one learns to appriciate the movie as a piece of art in itself. I saw the FotR before I read it. Now I have read the books at least three or four times and will get to see TTT in a new light. Maybe in a month I will come back to this thread and be very upset that he changed one thing or left out another or added a third, but at the moment, I like the fellowship just the way it is.
