I thought of the movie again and it made me think of all the wrong scenes and made up stuff thats in it, thought i'd let all of you who have seen it but havent read the book know whats wrong and right and those who have read it maybe missed some stuff or spotted ones i didnt
(DONT READ PAST HERE IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN THE MOVIE YET)
1) Faramir never takes the hobbits to Osgliath he just lets them go in the hideout.
2)Eowyne never leads the women and children to Helm's Deep, in the book the are only fighters in helm's deep not only that but in the 3rd book, return of the king, aragorn describes the battle of helm's deep to Eowyne thus, she wasnt there!
3)The Wargs attack never happens and the part where Aragorn is attacked and falls down the river never happens either
4)In the battle for Helm's Deep THERE WERE NO ELVES!!! what's even more preposterous is that the way the movie makes it look like Elrond sends the Elves to asist in the battle when in fact the leader of the Elves that come to asist (forgot his name) is from Lothlorien, which has nothing to do with Elrond, they are under the command of Galadriel.
5)Infront of the black gate, Samwise does'nt fall down, never happened.
6)One of the most ridiculous scenes in the movie is when gandalf "banishes" Saruman from Theoden.
In the book its completely different, they step in and talk to Theoden (guards dont attack them), Wormtongue's (Grima) words are what "poison" Theoden's mind, he has been whispering in his ears for so long he only listens to him. Anyways, Gandalf starts talking to Theoden, the only reference to "magic" in the book is that Gandalf's words sound enchanting, as if he's enchanting Theoden. Anyways, once he's done theoden stands up, straighting his arched back, the way they do it in the movie like some magic spell makes him younger pissed me off.
7)wtf were those mines they used to blow up the wall at helm's deep, that was dumb
8)when the Rohirim attack the band of Uruk Hai its NOT by surprise, they circle around them, the Uruk Hai are very much aware of their presence.
9)when Merry and Pippin meet treebeard its after theyve wandered Fangorn for a day or two, not right after the battle, and Treebeard never crushes that troll.
10)the one we all know, the gayass love story between Arwyn and Aragorn, GET OVER IT, SHE'S BARELY MENTIONED ONCE IN THE BOOK.
well.. thats all i can think of right now, new stuff keeps popping into my head :P
maybe you spotted something i missed
