burntcopper:bawls like a little baby:
Oh my god. Omigod. Oh. My. God. There are no words.
Pippin just owned this movie. Billy Boyd... oh wow. His growing up, and his franticness, and the leaving of Merry, and killing the orc, and realising what a fucking stupid thing it was to swear allegiance to Denethor, and singing, and pushing Faramir off the bonfire and discovering Merry on the battlefield...
Pipeweed! Table dancing!
Eowyn. Oh I so love Eowyn and Theoden. That's it. I am so Rohirrim when I'm not being a hobbit. It's the saxon/viking/celt in me. Her joy at seeing Aragorn and Theoden giving his blessing and her utter heartbreak when he lets her down, then the battle and her fear and the death scene and oh god. And![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
daegaer's so right about the gender issues and the men just not even seeing that she's a woman because she's in men's clothes, though I do think it's a definite position of honour for her to rule Rohan after him, as she's the one he trusts to do it. Theoden gives better battlefield speeches than Aragorn.
Siege Weapons! :See Heather fall over and die from the squee: Counting! 'We're surrounded, outnumbered, no chance of survival? What are we waiting for?' or words to that effect... Beacons!
Frodo and Sam and Gollum, dear god... and the one time you see someone struggling with the invisible in a film and it looks believable....
I no longer fancy Aragorn when he cleans up and goes Elessar with Gondorian armour. Bleh. Oh, and the one time I was able to tolerate Arwen? The kissing at the end because they're so incredibly happy and obviously in love and I was crying with joy and emotion then anyway...
Gondorians! Let the Rohan stampede your enemies while you stay indoors with your stupid armour! But lemme have one of your prototype trebuchets, pwease? Note: I also find nothing special about your precious White City. Gimme Rohan any day.
Faramir.... Oh, baby.... Lemme hug and squeeze and let you snog the hell out of Eowyn in that completely unfairly cut scene of the Houses of Healing. But your dealing with Denethor, and your utter resignation and commitment to duty and to what you know is a suicide mission... oh, sweetie...
Gandalf kicketh arse. Yea verily he doth.
Shelob... I can why she's supposed to be scary, but I suffer from complete arachnophilia. I love bugs and examining them, and Starship Troopers had me going 'Sam, Frodo? Stab her in the abdomen, long slash along there, all her guts fall out.', so I think the impact was lost on me.
The end! Seen through lots of sniffling and that bit riding into the Shire with grumpy hobbit. The Green Dragon, where Sam spots Rosie and suddenly he's off and you know? We so should've been shown the end of that scene, where he grabbed her and dipped her Clark Gable style. Or at least picked her up and spun her round. But so with the squee. And kiddies! Mini-Astin! Also, anyone else notice that the hobbit female Pippin grins at when he catches the bouquet is Diamond? Though I so vote for Merry being the object of his affections.
Oh, and Peter Jackson? There is one thing I have a bone to pick with you about. Hobbit Kissage. Where the hell was it? There should've been kissage on the lava flow, proper kissage at the harbour to the Grey Havens, and at least some kissage between Merry and Pippin, because their love is so squee!
Also,daegaer? Thou hast corrupted me with Bracy and Gedge when it comes to Sam and Frodo. you have.
Getting plot bunnies for original fic. Where the heir to the throne doesn't know about it, doesn't give a toss about it, and rejects the named magical reforged sword because 'I'm happy with this one, and the balance on that one is frankly shite.'
