ah but I do my own thanks for
remembering Pocono in terms of film
adaptations few show more respect for
the source material than this one but no
translation from book to screen is
without change

welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’ll
be counting down our picks for the top
10 biggest differences between the Lord
of the Rings movies and books before we
begin we publish new videos every day
so be sure to subscribe for more great
content for this list we’re looking at
characters scenes and other details that
have been added cut or changed in the
movie adaptations of these famous
fantasy novels what are your waiting
done Fleming Wow number 10 the Eye of
Sauron a great eye lidless wreathed in
blaine one of the most memorable images
from the Lord of the Rings trilogy is
the giant fiery eye that sits atop the
dark tower and watches middle-earth this
eye of Sauron is the symbol of the Dark
Lord and the main antagonist of the
entire franchise in the books however
it’s not literally an eye but rather a
metaphor for sarang’s immense presence
and far-reaching grasp across
middle-earth in fact the novels imply
that Sauron has a physical body and he
requires the ring in order to complete
his conquest not to regain his corporeal
form sudden strike is soon and you will
strike cod number 9 fatty Bolger
[Music]
we all know the original gang of hobbits
who meet the Shire Frodo Sam merry and
pippin well you may not have known is
that the game was supposed to be 5 with
an additional Hobbit name Tredegar fatty
Bolger in the books
Betty elects to stay behind partly out
of fear but also to make a team like
Frodo never left and in all he even
helps fight against sour mountain when
the wizard takes over the Shire augur
makes only a fleeting appearance in the
extended edition of the Fellowship of
the Ring right number 8 the Doudna dine
you will benefit Oona time so Aragorn is
identified as a ranger in the film we
don’t learn about their history or the
fact that Aragorn is part of the Doudna
dine an ancient race of men many of whom
become Rangers of the north during the
War of the Ring the Doudna dine played
an important role in protecting the
north from the forces of evil
essentially they defend the lands of the
free people from the darkness of sorrow
unfortunately due to time constraints we
didn’t get to see any of this on the big
screen which is too bad because it would
have been pretty cool to see a group of
Aragorn type warriors in battle it was
said that your race and tough decisions
there are few of us left number 7 Ward
Rider ambush
one of the more memorable scenes from
the second film is when a group of orcs
from Isengard riding warg take on the
soldiers of rohan including Aragorn
Legolas and Gimli it’s a particularly
brutal scene with wharves and horses
smashing into each other with the battle
near need killing Aragorn when he
topples over a cliff into a river
however none of this actually happens in
the book in fact Aragorn is never
forcefully separated from the group
despite this it’s definitely one of the
cooler additions to the film number 6
house deep although the Battle of Helm’s
ich is one of the most iconic moments in
the entire franchise it’s significantly
different on-screen than it is in the
books in the film there are only 300 men
fighting for Rohan but at the last
second they’re aided by a group of elves
and the book however the conflict is
called the Battle of the Hornburg and
there’s around 2000 Rohan soldiers who
are able to withstand the assault
without the elven assistance but in both
versions they face well over 10,000 orcs
from Isengard making it an impressive
victory
either way the battle for Helm’s Deep is
over the battle for middle-earth is
about to begin
number 5 whorfin Dale rescues the
hobbits instead of arwen war Vendela is
an important character in the novel and
was even considered as a candidate for
the fellowship the role of this elf
however is all but eliminated in the
film perhaps one of the most striking
examples of his characters downgrade is
the fact that in the novel it’s
Glorfindel who rescues Frodo after he
stabbed by one of the nazgûl in the
film however it’s Arwen who comes to the
rescue
summoning the enchanted water to wash
the nazgûl away and prevent them from
entering Rivendell if you want to come
and claim him
from a filmmaking standpoint the change
makes sense as it helps to develop our
one character and make her more than
just a love interest
number four Bilbo leaves the Shire
17 years before Frodo there are many
magic rings in this world will bow
Baggins and none of them should be used
like in the first film
Gandalf realizes pretty quickly that
Bilbo’s ring is not just an ordinary
ring and after a quick trip to Gondor
discovers that it’s actually the One
Ring of Power this all happens in
several minutes of screen time helped
jumpstart the plot but in the novel he
takes scanned off much much longer to
put two and two together
in fact Gandalf travels for 17 years in
search of answers popping into Hobbiton
every now and then during that stretch
of time before discovering the truth
then and only then does he send Frodo on
his journey to scream Buddha he’ll know
what to do number three the scale of the
war of the Ring wall is coming although
the film franchise essentially covers
the War of the Ring it basically boils
down to two major battles while Frodo
attempts to destroy the ring and the
novel the scale of the war is much much
bigger massive battles are fought at
Dale Mirkwood and Lorien none of which
are shown in the film in fact the war is
actually divided into two different
theaters the southern theater and the
northern theater obviously Peter Jackson
couldn’t show all these battles in just
three films since it would take a band
of brothers as many theories to
accurately portray how huge the war was
perhaps a future project man number two
Tom Bombadil
[Music]
one of the more peculiar characters in
all of middle-earth Tom Bombadil assist
Frodo and the other hobbits on their
journey in the first novel it’s quite
possible that he’s the oldest being in
middle-earth and even the One Ring has
no power over him his character was
completely cut from the films however
with Peter Jackson stating that Bombadil
does nothing to advance the story
Jackson did keep some of his dialogue
however giving the lines to merry and
pippin instead I’d get another one haha
number one saving the Shire we set out
to save the Shire and it has been saved
it’s completely understandable why
Jackson would decide to end the Return
of the King with the fall of Sauron in
doing so however he cuts the Battle of
by water essentially Frodo and the
hobbits returned home to discover that
Saruman had taken over the Shire with
the assistance of the other Hobbit
they’re able to defeat Saruman and his
soldiers it is here that Saruman
ultimately dies as his throat is slit by
Wormtongue
in the film we briefly see a scene that
resembled this when Frodo looks into the
mirror of Galadriel but that’s all
do you agree with our picks check out
