Yeah I'm sorry but I get really annoyed when people talk about Cynthia Rothrock as some kind of big action star in any way. If you want to talk about how good she is at fight scenes, sure, I'll entertain that argument. But the bottom line is she didn't even have a small role in a single big picture at any point in her career so I kinda have to laugh when people bring her up as one of the early female action stars.

This was another question I had but thought I'd get buried if I admitted I never readthe books. How come Sauron's physical form is visible while he's wearing the ring?

I forgot that something being an official company stance means that it is always a good idea, the right way to go about something and will always be based on what’s best for the safety and wellbeing of its employees rather than its profit margins…

Not just that scene, the whole "Aragorn is the king of Gondor" plotline is somewhat different. His internal struggle with his future position as king is non-existent in the books, he's actually quite sure and assertive about it.

It wouldn't really have made sense for him to have a physical form without the ring, though.

Your take that “Movies should have a positive influence on people, they should really inspire people to chase after their dreams and be hopeful” is genuinely a horrendously reductive and embarrassing way to approach art. Art is about exploring and expressing the full range of humanity, not just a shallow slice of it that makes you feel good about yourself.

You’ve also not actually provided any meaningful critiques of the film, just highlighted your own extremely limited and childish understanding of film/art.

Yeah, but it still looks like it takes place mostly in a hotel. The other comment implied that a significant amount of the film looks like it's taking place somewhere else, or there's a trailer or description that makes it seem that way.

Just started reading the book, so familiarizing myself with it!

The bubble on nextflix might be a pretty good example. I don’t work in that industry but I definitely got some good laughs about it. Plus Pedro pascal was amazing.

>Included a final battle between Aragorn and Sauron himself in front of the Black Gate.

Holy shit that would have been awesome.

Isn’t dead reckoning part one and two the end though?

Go see scream vi

IMO Aragorn’s arc in that final film comes off a little bit wonky because the initial script, which they filmed and only changed at the very last minute in post-production, included a final battle between Aragorn and Sauron himself in front of the Black Gate.

So a lot of other Aragorn sequences seem rushed or relatively inconsequential, because none were supposed to rival that climactic encounter. But then they swapped out Sauron for a troll at the last minute.

I think those plans for a big Sauron reveal and battle with Aragorn at the end really affected how they treated the ghost army and that part of Aragorn’s arc.

It’s better to ask someone who is actually reading the book than read a synopsis in an article.

I think the Ghost King's people have always had beef with the people of Gondor, and at this point their cursed selves have just been stewing in resentment for however many centuries. So, I guess it's just bitterness for their curse (whilst also stubbornly/eventually acknowledging their part in breaking their oath in the first place leading to the curse). So, their resistance to immediately follow Aragorn is just momentary pride/wanting to save face, which then gives way to a desire to 'move on'/be released from the limbo of being stuck in that state.

TL;DR - the Ghost King doesn't want to bend the knee right away out of pride, but ultimately wants to lift the curse so agrees to Aragorn's terms

Easy there! Some of us had to suffer through this alone for the first few viewings.

The Whale PART II given it released this year for some countries

"That line has ended!"

I think it was more that the ghosts simply could not believe it was possible.

Also this is one area where the theatrical trumps the extended.

Michael Giachinno, the Jurassic World trilogy, I love 90% of his work but for the life of me, I can't remember a single bit of the music

Yeah, that was the part of the movie where I would always start trying to make out with my date. Probably why I had to watch it four times. A lot of moments like that in that film.

The reason I loved Taxi Driver is because it's bleak, it's not afraid to show some issues going on in the world or what things do to a person. Plus, he just like me fr
