OMG! 300!

[Hobbit]

Yeah, doing a straight book to movie translation would have made it a bit tedious with nothing but fighting going on.  I imagine they added her in for much the same reason that they decided to constantly switch between Frodo and the rest of the fellowship during LotR.  Movies need a bit of variety in their scenery.

Because he has testicles.  That is all.

*It's a guy thing.  If you don't understand it, you never will.

man what a troll.

why say something like that you closeminded jerk?

i should report you right now!

[Junkyard]

Lord, Googy, get over it.

Anyway, yeah- Sometimes you really do NEED to change things a bit when you transfer across mediums. Written works tend to be more focused than movies, because you have to focus when you read, and avoid focusing when you watch movies. I don't imagine the wife's storyline hurt the story.

[Sideswipe]

I think they added the wife partly  for any female viewers out there who wanted to see a strong female character.

[Junkyard]

Kind of like Liv playing Warrior Elf in LotR for a few minutes? (After which she kind of melted back into the backround?)

[Sideswipe]

pretty much yeah.  I like that they canned the idea of Arwen fighting at Helm's Deep, like they originally planned.

[RobtheBarbarian]

They added that? Wow, I thought it was kind of pointless. I understand the need for something to break up the battle scenes, but it seemed a little petty and uninteresting compared to the rest of the movie's overall tone.

[WereSquirrel]

Personally, I liked the film too. Having said that, I reckon this Rifftrax will totally rule.

Am I the only one who gets the feeling that the Free Sample will be the "Madness? This is SPARTA!" scene?

[Junkyard]

What else was PG enough to fit into a general sample?

[Monty22001]

Ok, got my blu-ray of 300..  Now the wait for the riffs.  So far I'm liking the movie quite a bit, never saw it before.

[torgosPizza]

I got to hear some of the riff, and it is amazing. I think you guys will enjoy.

We'll get the preview clip up shortly, followed by the track itself

[RVR II]

Aye, just saw the Riff sample. Was surprised, but it still looks awesome. I'm gona need to import the DVD though, the film dopesn't come out in England until the end of September I think.
