"One Trilogy to Rull Them All"...
Yeah to my understanding, as well as the books, Treebeard looks over Isengard and Sarumon after destroying it...The book "The Two Towers" goes into it a little more, and also ends with the spider thing and frodo/sam...which is what they put at the beginning of Return of the King film version...It just confused me in the film because, until the extended addition, you didn't really realize that it was up for Isengard...
the Books sort of illude to the inevitable rise of Sauron (sp?) over Sarumon altogther...At the point in which Isengard is captured by the pissed off tree dudes, Sauron is becoming so powerful so quickly, the wizard puppet Sarumon is no longer needed...and the story sort of shifts away from him very quickly...Jackson did the same thing...he had a quick capture of Isengard similar to the book's vision, but didn't go into any dramatic fall of Sarumon himself...
I can't wait to see RTOTK, It was completely sold out throughout my entire area by 6 today...I had a final anyway too...Tomorrow I shall go...

Plus it was almost 5 in the morning and I had already kicked three nerds in the face for saying stupid s*** like "[nerd voice]Gaping errors in the overall timeline....[/nerd voice]" during the film. So as I went to bed I commented to my roommate "I wonder how long till the first Jackass points out my misnomer."
and i hope you know i was ****** around

i heard that in the extended version of return of the king they are gonna cover sarumon a bit more...something like he tried to take over the hobbits or something, the shire altogether, but its just what ive heard....
this trilogy is by far the best thing ever made!!! everything about it was amazing! i think that they put it together very well and unlike the matrix trilogy, this one pretty much answers any questions about it in the end (except why frodo left with gandalf and the elves..) all i can say is that this is a must see movie and i finally can sleep well after seeing this last one...lol, ive waited so long to see it and it just makes me feel good, what an ending! not what i expected at all...simply awesome
the only thing that i didnt like about this movie was that i saw the trilogy with a bunch of crazy ass crack heads...you know, the kind that like to mimic every line of the first two, that like to laugh really loud about stuff thats funny but seen before, and most of all, the kind of people that like to clap and scream in all the "exciting" parts of the movie and you cant hear whats being said...I FUCKEN HATE THAT CLAPPING!
thats my venting, imma watch it at least 7 more times in the theaters!

Sure they did. Tree beard only assisted because he saw all the trees torn down. Once everyone was back together then he made his exit.
Also Sauramon was, as stated, powerless.
The book mentions him again as being an occupier of Bag end that they have to beat down. I haven't seen the movie to know if any of that happened in it though.
Movie was real great. It was wrapped up very nicely and I couldn't have expected better. Amazing!! I got to see it on an IMAX screen too, so it was extra special and big
I still have a little gripe about the Hollywoodness of it with the extended story with Liv Tyler and the blonde chick. There was no love triangle in the book.
And yes, the Shire was fine and unphazed by Sauron in the end of the movie, completely different from the book. It was still fine with me, although my friend who never read the book still thought it was weird that they were so untouched and clueless about the whole evil-taking-over thing.
Minas Tirith was everything I imagined it to be, they did a great job making it mighty and beautiful.

He was a ring bearer just like Bilbo. They experienced the burden of the rings, just like the elves. The rings are gone, their age is over, they must leave and leave Middle Earth to Man (Aragorn)

Joey from friends...."No, I didn't read the Hobbit in highschool. I was too busy having sex!"
I managed to do both in highschool, but thats off topic.
There is no scouring of the shire in the theatrical or extended edtion, Jackson never shot it. In the extended editon Sarumans story will be fleshed out.
As for the Love Triangle, it seeme to me that it is in the book, but very subtle. Eowyn is changed after meeting Aragorn, and begs to not be left behind. from what I hear all the Aragorn/ARwen stuff is in the appendicies, which I havent read yet.
Jackson has done a great job showing us his interpretation of the book. I never expected it to follow the book exactly, and so far, I am very pleased at the movies
