gimlis fanpeople

gimli7410 · 04-20-2003, 01:11 AM

I have seen the legolas fangirls and aragorn fangirls i thought why not a gimli fan thread. Of course it can be fangirls which i bet there are tonnes of and fan boys for different obvious reasons. As john rhys davies said "... for real quality warfare you have to go for gimli!"

Fangirls...ha!

I do think JRD is a darn cool actor, and I loved the interviews with him on the TTT game (he was the only one who seemed to be interested at all...), but PJ screwed the character up too much for him to do much.

I would be Gimli´s fangirl but I don´t like his character in the movies (unlike the book) - if certain parts were a bit different, then you´d have at least one fangirl..

John Rhys-Davies was really good though!

Go Gimli! Hilarious in both the book and the movie!

Bombadillo · 04-20-2003, 10:26 AM

Gimli was great in the movie, perhaps better than the books. And that says a lot because in the books he was already a great character.

gimli7410 · 04-20-2003, 10:26 AM

i like the way he portrayed gimli, i thought it was the same as the book or not far off from it. . I love his interview in the game.

I don't want to start a debate, but he had some dignity in the books.

The same as the...
-sigh-
There's no hope for some.

Just kidding.

gimli7410 · 04-20-2003, 11:05 AM

i know it was stupid when PJ put him as comic relief, and a few other parts, but you have to admit john rhys davies did a good job of acting.

That is exactly what I was thinking too.

Gwaimir Windgem · 04-20-2003, 11:07 AM

Of course. JRD is a great actor. He did just fine.

Elf Girl · 04-20-2003, 11:10 AM

That he acted great doesn't mean his part was even remotely similar to the books.

gimli7410 · 04-20-2003, 11:13 AM

well i saw the movies before the i read the books so i geuss that image of him was in my mind when i was reading the books. too bad

Elf Girl · 04-20-2003, 11:15 AM

It is too bad. Try reading the books again, it might help.

gimli7410 · 04-20-2003, 11:17 AM

well i might come back to the good side who knows.

Elf Girl · 04-20-2003, 11:19 AM

As long as you want to see Gimli as he really is, you are on the "good side".

I know what you mean here. Trying to read TT is very hard if you want your own imagination to make up what the characters look like, rather than using the movie characters.

gimli7410 · 04-21-2003, 03:50 PM

i think for the movie though they had to change some stuff around fo the people who hadn't read the books yet so they understand it. i understood it when i saw it and i hadn't read the books but when i saw TTT (i read the book before it) i thought what the hell are they doing but it was easier to understand for my friends who hadn't read the book

(that made no sense did it )
