Aragorn vs. Lurtz NEVER happened...  

I wouldn’t say it outshines the book. The two are both great in different ways. The book is a deeper look into Aragorns perspective and thinking. He is entirely focused on the quest and looking for Frodo. The death of Boromir doesn’t even happen in the FOTR book. The layout of the story is different because it’s a book. What Jackson did in moving Boromir’s passing and expanding the Uruk Hai attack was masterful from a movie perspective in that he built to an exciting climax. He’d added an origin for Lurtz and you have seen him track down the fellowship, kill boromir and kidnap two of the fellowship. Seeing Aragorn rush headfirst into danger to try and help his friends is very true to his character, as is his fighting ability. But by far the best thing about the movie adaptation was the scene where Boromir dies and confesses to Aragorn and they have a final moment. True to Tolkiens written version in TTT and very powerful performances by Sean and Viggo.

Yep! I address this in the full video comparison. 👀

Yeah , but he dies under the same circumstances doing the same thing

Also this is an improvement on the book imo it just felt more powerful in the movie than in the book

That's good! There's people that can run it in 6-7 minutes in tracks and fields. I expect Aragorn to have run it in 3-4 minutes. That would be a pretty fast battle.

Too bad most fights only last 2-3 minutes

​@@MastemaJackist ja auch Knochenarbeit!

@@RitaSchmitt-kn3mf what?

​@@MastemaJackdas war die Antwort auf die Feststellung das der Kampf nur wenige Minuten dauert!

Dude that was a real dagger thrown at him too. If it wasn't put in I'd be so mad if I were Viggo.

@@MastemaJack I know, right?! It’s one of the best moments to watch when you know it’s completely real.

Pffffttt "lotr is not the Bible."

@FriendsAndTheirGames okay it's Kinda like the Bible.

@bionicallychallenged7290 hahaha, honestly though I agree with you, good way to put it. It's not lazy and stays true to the message

​@@FriendsAndTheirGamesist ja auch schwer die Geschichte anzugleichen. Genauso das man andere Figuren hinzuzufügen,finde ich OK. Könnten ja wirklich gewesen sein,haben halt Namen bekommen.

The Mormons didn’t even stop with the Bible bro

Yeah when I first saw Lurtz shoot him, I thought other Uruk Hai would start shooting. I kept thinking “are they gonna end it on a cliffhanger like the book.” Then I realized that they were gonna delve into the first chapter of two towers by showing boromir’s fate.

I love Boromir and my daughter and I watched Fellowship over a hundred times. Each time we noticed something different. Boromir was the best human fighter and he would have totally won if they hadn't used arrows. I'm sure Tolkien would have felt differently about his character if was able to see the movie. Plus getting up those 2 times after being shot was badass!

I don’t think they did him dirty at all. Borimir is one of my favorite characters in the books, and I love the way Sean Bean played him. Yes, he could’ve been taller, but you can’t expect them to find 6’6 actors for Borimir, Gandalf, Aragorn, and every single elf, so they just made him a large strong normal human. And he still did take out about 20 Uruk-hai in the movie, and maybe he took more arrows in the books but those were Moria orc arrows (I’m pretty sure) which would be weaker than Uruk arrows. And it would’ve started to look unrealistic, and it would’ve dragged on, if he got shot a dozen times and kept fighting

I think you do Sean Bean a disservice, he did a damn good job playing Boromir although he could’ve looked a bit younger it’s true, he wasn’t that far off. Also, how do you know he wasn’t 6 foot, we know Sean Ben isn’t but with camera angles and the comparative size of other characters maybe he only looked shorter from our point of view. When it was just the scenes of The Hobbits you often forget that they are meant to be only reaching up to our waist, as you watch them you start to think they’re normal size until a man comes up next to them.

@@wolftal1178Sean Bean did a great job, I just think that Jackson did him and the character a disservice by shortening the fight scene and giving the spotlight to Viggo/Aragorn who was supposed to arrive late and just be filled with grief. I can understand to some extent why he did it - to amp up the drama, but the problem is that it took away from the emotional impact of Boromir's death.

Wow good job stating the obvious

There were some dead Uruk Hai in book that's how they learned S for saruman and the white hand symbol

I read the silmarillion twice and I'm 15 lol

Ich habe es nur 1x geschaft u. bin froh das ich durchgehalten habe. The Hobbit habe ich noch vor mir.

I will get all the way through the Silmarillion one day. I can't finish. I'm on my 3rd go around rn with lotr but I can never stick with sil. It's like reading a Bible it's so tedious

@@DblTap317 You could try the audiobook. The reader is really good

I think u need to rewatch Borromirs death. He is seen as a hero, acknowledged as 'a True Captain of Gondor' by Aaragorn and his brother in arms. Aaragorn puts on his wrist guards as a sign of respect and gives him a Warrior's funeral that a Steward of Gondor would have had.

@@dancooke8811 All we see is boromir beeing killed by Lurz and then Comes Aragorn the hero saving the day by defeating the uruk that boromir was to weak to defeat. Then boromir has to bow down before Aragorn by calling him his King which never happened in the books. And the best Part of it Aragorn robbs boromir corps before it can become cold.
