Favorite LOTR Character, Anyone?

So, yea, vote for your favorite character, and then, in a post, tell us who you voted for and give some good reasons! (Not b/c he's soo hot) :angry: ;)
 
Hey, you can't group all the hobbits together! That makes it to tempting to vote 'hobbit' because you get both Frodo *and* Sam.

Ok, well I'll list my favorites and why they are, weigh their strengths and weeknesses and then vote when I finish posting. (and I we're talking book characters here, right, not the movie ones?)

Frodo: Frodo sacrificed his home, his happiness and in the end, almost his life, for something greater than himself. He never looked back, and he never took the easy way out. He was faced the most trying adversities, and in the end he (well except that little thing that happened on Mount Doom, but we won't talk about them :rolleyes: ) persivered.

Sam: There would be no Frodo without a Sam. If there was one word for Sam it would be 'loyalty', he followed Frodo (literally) to hell and back, and he never took a second thought about it. When Frodo fell, Sam carried him-I'vd always wanted a friend like him.

Aragorn: Aragorn is the kind of man I would follow in battle anyday, and I don't know what else you can say about him. In the words of Theoden 'Let this be the hour when we draw swords together'.

Gandalf: Gandalf in my oppionion, is 'pure good', which is not how we think of good. He is not a 'loving' and 'feely' person, but rather has a gruffness and aurthity about him that commands respect and reverance. And yet even in his 'grumpyness' he cares about men, hobbits, ect, and when he transformes to Gandalf the White, he almost becomes more himself. (if that makes any sense)

And I could wright an entire page and a half concering why I love Faramir so much. (middle child sindrome kicking in again)

-Ok, well since I get both Frodo and Sam, I'm voting 'Hobbit' but I don't have to be happy about it!
 
Good point Rhinds - although I can say without doubt Frodo will not be getting my vote for either film or book - grr grr - no time for that now though.
I think I'm going to go with the book version as you get better character development, and i perfer them to the films anyway. So, it'll have to be Aragorn, although i will probably change my mind later. He's like a rough diamond - all that kinglyness and power combined with the killer warrior and steely determination, and his romantic side - also he seems like a bit of a cad ( i bet he thought seriously about Eowyn, cheeky beggar), and all the girls like that!
All that destiny weighing on his shoulders and he still copes so well, strength of character and good heart - thats what we like! oh and he's probably really hot in the books to! :p
 
I didn't have time to post when I made this topic, but I really, really identify with Boromir! It's kind of the whole Eustace deal like in CoN, but I think Boromir's character is better. I really don't have a lot of time now, but I'll give better reasons for why I like Boromir later!

Note: I am referring the characters from the books, not the movies.
 
I read the books before the movies anyways, so the movies don't have anything to do with my favorites, which are Legolas, Gimli and Sam. And Gollum. You have to feel sorry for him, he's so pathetic, can't live with the ring, can't live without it.
 
i don't really have an absolute favorite. i like most of them. Pippen, Aragorn, Celeborn, Gandalf: pretty much everyone(on the good-guy's side) other than Frodo and Sam. but Sam isn't that bad.. so.....yeah.

Dead Rain, you don't like Frodo and Sam!? :eek: If I may ask, how come? They were so brave and courageous, and unlike the other characters, Frodo paid (in my opinion) the greatest price for his part in the War of the Ring.
 
Sam is my favorite Character. I love Sam because of his loyalty, love , and all around goodness. Legolas is the coolest character in the book and movie. Plus he's gorgeous! :D :p

see even my avatar says I love sam!!! :D :lol:
 
I am definatlely very ...eh...... well i like his courageousness, but in the books, and movies frodo was just........ stupid. no offence. i always thought of him as just.... a loser that ahh..... whatever. and Sam's cool. but i like others better. Legolas on the other hand is my least fav. other than Frodo. and how do you ppl think that he is hot? i just don't see it in him.
 
Ummm How is legolas Hot. Sheesh I think that is a can of worms you don't want to open! ;) :p

He just is as is Aragorn.... ooo and Eomer. Faramir is handsom but not hot, at least not in the move. So I really should be saying Orlando Bloom, Viggo Mortensen, Karl Urban, Billy Boyd, Dominic Monaghan, and Elijah Wood are all HOT. The movies are amazing and then the sugar on top are the men. LOL :D Am I right ladies?????
 
ok, i picked the hobbits, only because i think pippin is just awesome. Loved him in the books, and loved him in the movies. Hes cool, funny, and if any of you bashes him i will set you straight.

I picked the Hobbits because:

Sam is my all time favorite character in the book. Perhaps my all time favorite literary character as well. I could relate to him and felt as though, were I in his shoes, I would have done the same thing.

Pippin quickly become one of my favorite characters in the movies, and then he SANG! HOLY WOW! That dude has some pipes! Awesome stuff!

Frodo. What an amazing character. Loved him in the film as well as the book. The look on Frodo's face when he turned around on the boat at the end of ROTK was the first time we really saw him truly beginning to heal. The color returned to his face and he looked like he did when we first saw him in Fellowship of the Ring.

Merry: Determined, thoughtful. I liked him, but not as well as the other Hobbits in the movies. In the books, he was a definite favorite of mine though.
 
Well I picked Legolas cause he is well.......HOT!!!!!!1 But my second favorite is Pippin. I love Pippin but I had to vote for Legolas.
I also like Aragorn. :D
 
Frodo. What an amazing character. Loved him in the film as well as the book. The look on Frodo's face when he turned around on the boat at the end of ROTK was the first time we really saw him truly beginning to heal. The color returned to his face and he looked like he did when we first saw him in Fellowship of the Ring.

As if I wasn't crying hard enough and then he smiles like that and Im like OOO everything is going to be ok! *bawls like a baby* I cried when I read the book too although I cried for like the last hour of the movie. It was very moving! I felt really stupid about crying so hard, tears were streaming down my face, Until I looked at the girl next to me, she was crying just as hard! LOL

I voted for the hobbits! I love them all!!!
 
I'm not ashamed to admit it, I also cried during the end of it. From the moment that Sam picked Frodo up, all the way to the credits.
 
I still cry during certain parts! The only movie that has made me cry harder was the passion of the christ. I cried so hard during that movie. Its beautifully made but I don't care to see it again for a long ,long while. :)
 
Yes indeed! That's a movie for once or twice a year, as a reminder. Return of the King, and the entire trilogy really, is good all the time.
