Aragorn, Gimli, Legolas chase the Uruk Hai, but the riders of Rohan get them first. Merry and Pippin run into Fangorn. Rohan is at war with Saruman. Ents (tree folk) from Fangorn attack and smash Isengard, with Gandalf's help (he returns as the White Rider). The men of Rohan march to war, fighting a great battle of Helm's Deep, then onto Gondor, which is beseiged. Aragorn Gimli Legolas take the Paths of the Dead to Gondor, and reach Gondor in time to fight agsinst the Enemy. Denethor, steward of Gondor, burns himself, but his son Faramire escapes. The King of the Nazgul kills the King of Rohan, but his niece and Merry kill the Nazgul King. Pippin becomes a soldier of Gondor. Battle at Pelennor Fields. Aragorn heals people and claims Kingship of Gondor. He then marries Arwen, who becomes mortal.
MEANWHILE, Samn and Frodo trek across the Dead Marshes lead by Gollum. They meet Faramir briefly, but get into Mordor by a secret path. Gollum betrays them, and Frodo gets stung by Shelob, big spider. Sam takes Ring. Both captured by orcs. Escape. Go to Mt Doom. Frodo claims Ring for himself (corrupted by it). Gollum bites off the finger and falls into Mt Doom, destroying Ring. Everyone celebrates, then they trek back to Shire. Saruman has destroyed it, so they get annoyed and Saruman's counsellor kills him (think they'll change that for book). Huzzah! Elves diminish, and go across Sundering Seas, with Frodo and Gandalf. Oh yes, Gandalf, Elrond and Galadriel has the 3 Elven Rings.
Now aren't you grateful?

How can you compare a load of sad old men with glow sticks to the brilliance of LotR?!
Star Wars was called a fancy bundle of special effects when it first came out, and look at it now. Top film ever. Well, that poll was done before LotR came out.

Ahey now calm down there matey, I may not be the best film critic around, but you need to chill out, me thinks all those Hobbits and beards have got to your head.
:P
Believe me. How can you compare LotR to a bunch of strange hairy
> things running around in some bad CGI?
How can you compare Star Wars to a bunch of men in tights running around fighting Orks and Goblins?
I'm not criticising beardy beard beard, i'm just wondering how you can compare it to a classic like Star Wars, to me it looks just like a load of pretty special effects. I suppose I would have to see the film to really pass judgement, but those Wizards and Orks and beardy films don't really appeal to me, so I doubt I will be seeing it.

Sorry, I get angry when people critise LotR. It's better than Star Wars. Believe me. How can you compare LotR to a bunch of strange hairy things running around in some bad CGI?

How can you compare Star Wars to beardy beard beard and the hunt for a ring?
*Tiltawhirl realises he has no idea what the film is about so is probably chatting out his ass*

Yes, it's cliffhanger cinema. Everyone thought that Star Wars did it well, and now LotR puts that to shame. It has a guy in carbonite, we have 4 little guys in peril. Class.
oww, I cant wait that long. Its the way they leave the film open like that. I have never wanted to see a sequal so much.
Not yet, but it's Winter 2002/Winter 2003. probably mid-December again.
I cant wait to see the other LotR movies. When are they released, do you have the dates?
