Wat do you think

Ps i think Gandalf

lavos 02-17-2002 06:00 PM

Ok you asked for it [img]smile.gif[/img]

My favourite LOTR character is Tom Bombandil, he's the only one on whom the one ring had no efect, and I was very disapointed when he was not in the movie.

Akar Kessel 02-17-2002 06:48 PM

Me too im suprised he wasn't in there

Hayashi 02-17-2002 08:59 PM

My vote is for Sam Gamgee. A simple person (not the same as a simpleton), he shows surprising courage & dedication to Frodo.

A second the vote for Sam.

My favorite line in the book..."It's like we are inside of song, if you get my meaning..."</font>

YeRFDoG 02-18-2002 07:38 AM

In the movie and the book, I would have to say Legolas

Gazza 02-18-2002 09:07 AM

In the movie I would have to say Legolas followed by Gimli with Sam a close third. I think the best line is when the three hobbits crash in on Aragorn and Frodo and Sam yells something like "Let im go or i'll 'ave you longshanks!"

Silver Cheetah 02-18-2002 09:59 AM

Aragorn, but more cos he's gorgeous than for any other reason...

Ryanamur 02-18-2002 11:02 AM

I have ex-equo fav:

Aragorn and Gandalf

Sir Byronas 02-18-2002 11:34 AM

My favourite LotR character is Aragorn cause he is the only good human fighter!

Killing Spree 02-18-2002 03:56 PM

I'm going to be an oddball and say Treebeard.

Legolas 02-18-2002 04:36 PM

*walks in, whistling*
*looks at all the people, then glances at the name beside this post*

*nods approvingly*
*walks out again*

Akar Kessel 02-18-2002 09:49 PM

I like the dedication between Aragorn and Gandalf,Frodo and Sam,and Legolas and Gimli plus many more and thats also the biggest appeal to me in the books

Akar Kessel 02-18-2002 09:53 PM

Lol Legolas

Warhammer 02-19-2002 05:34 AM

Sauron!
Best Wizard, best Fighter. Can eat Gandalf, Legolas and the other goody-gooders for breakfast.

Sir Exxon 02-19-2002 06:52 AM

<font color="gold">In the movie, I liked maybe Legolas best.
But my all-time favourite LotR-character, is Aragorn. No doubt for that.</font>


see ya!

Darkman 02-19-2002 05:04 PM

In both the book and the film, I like Gimli and and Legolas the best. They are rock hard fighters who put others before themselves and never back down from a challenge. Aragon and Gandalf get all the credit for leading the Company, but I think Gimli and Legolas more than pull their share. They are the unsung heroes of the Fellowship.

Daniel 02-21-2002 06:41 PM

One of my favourites was King Theoden, he fits the noble king catagory quite well (Well after Grima wormtongue was out of the picture). Next would have to be Legolas and Gimli, they make a great team.

P.S as much as I the film dissapointed me I did think that Sean Bean played an exceptionally good Boromir.

jabidas 02-22-2002 03:58 PM

My vote goes to Gimli and Legolas in the book. The gandalf of the film.

I'd Say Sam, Legolas Or Gimli!

GokuZool 02-22-2002 08:11 PM

Legolas all the way [img]smile.gif[/img]

In the movie:
The flash backs to Mt. Doom were worth their weight in gold. I love the scene where Elrond tells Isuldur to cast the ring into the fire, and Isuldur just gives him that smirk and walks away (ring in tow). So believe it or not, I like Elrond and Isildur (though their parts were very small). Elrond also came across more like I expect and elf to be (especially one who witnessed mankind at it lowest momment). He comes off with having great honor and he appears to be quite cynical of present day matters. He actually looked like he could take the battlefield himself if he needed (in the book I thought him more like watered down version of Gandalf).

I also liked Boromir in the movie. He didnt come across as being as much of a jerk than he did in the book in my opinion.

All the others were pretty much what I expected.


In the books I didnt have any particular favorite. I liked all of the characters equally.

Just my 2.

Greylock 02-26-2002 01:57 AM

I thought Ian McKellan was excellent as Gandalf, but the truest character was Samwise.

Anubis 03-03-2002 12:18 AM

Tuff one between Legolas or Strider. I nominate them both.

shadowhound 03-03-2002 01:53 AM

Legolas, but i havnt read the book, so i am going only ny movie.

Glorfindel 03-03-2002 04:28 AM

Well mine is Glorfindel of course [img]graemlins/biglaugh.gif[/img]

LennonCook 03-03-2002 04:44 AM

<font color=lightgreen>Id have to say Treebeard. </font>

Jorath Calar 03-05-2002 02:30 AM

Aragorn and Legolas in the movies, and Gandalf close third but in the books well, I'll second Treebeard.
