"fortune had turned against Éomer, and his fury had betrayed him. The great wrath of his onset had utterly overthrown the front of his enemies, and great wedges of his Riders had passed clear through the ranks of the Southrons, discomfiting their horsemen and riding their footmen to ruin. But wherever the mumakil came there the horses would not go, but blenched and swerved away; and the great monsters were unfought, and stood like towers of defence, and the Haradrim rallied about them."
Кто-нибудь будет спорить, что этот абзац стал одной из самых запоминающихся сцен фильма уж для не-толкинистов точно?
И из Хоббита:
"They were high up in a narrow place, with a dreadful fall into a dim valley at one side of them. There they were sheltering under a hanging rock for the night, and he lay beneath a blanket and shook from head to toe. When he peeped out in the lightning-flashes, he saw that across the valley the stone-giants were out and were hurling rocks at one another for a. game, and catching them, and tossing them down into the darkness where they smashed among the trees far below, or splintered into little bits with a bang. Then came a wind and a rain, and the wind whipped the rain and the hail about in every direction, so that an overhanging rock was no protection at all."
Ну или вон цитату про Гоблин-Таун я чуть выше привёл. Всё-таки что ни говори, но Толкин экшн подробно ну никак не расписывал (это я уж не говорю, что строго следуя книге мы самого разгара Битвы Пяти Воинств вообще бы не увидели). И если из одного абзаца, может быть даже малопримечательного, выйдет экшн-сцена миут на 5-8, это ращве плохо? Я вон от минутного ролика с погоней до сих пор отойти не могу.
