The Opening Montage
by Radaghast Wed Dec 09, 2015 3:23 am
A look at the opening montage and how it gets certain things wrong. I never really thought about the opening montage much so it all kind of went over my head. Anyway, found it pretty interesting. I wonder if it's a copy of the Bakshi montage or is it just getting things wrong on its own.

Hm.. That article led to another about the most important misunderstandings that the LOTR movies have misled film-only audiences into believing. In it was the old complain about how the Witch King, in the book, is the only enemy of Gondor to ever enter under the gate of Minas Tirith. It bemoans the loss of Gandalf' and the Witch King's standoff, and the callous looting and killing that the orcs inflict upon the city in the movies.
Interesting stuff!

Doesn't it include the standoff and then expand on it in the EE, with Gandalf losing. That's the complaint, anyway, that Witch-king schools Gandalf.Forest Shepherd wrote:Hm..

Things often do have a way of coming back to bite you on the arse & no exception for peejers !

I can count more ways than that!

I'm sure Petty will lend all 23 of his extremities for such a cause! You might not want to use all of them for the purpose though...
