I'm being close-minded, but that's my right. The person who's making this is an idiot. Are people allowed to make other stories about Middle Earth? Did the director get copyrights or something? I...

Each Ringwraith wore 50 YARDS of black cloth. Can you imagine riding a horse in that much fabric?<P>In the scene where Gollum jumps in the river to catch the fish, Andy Serkiss (sp?) had to act it...

That first suggestion was great! They should definitely do something very similar to that. And who cares if Denethor's portrayed as a bad guy? He is, isn't he? Nutty old guy...

How was Grima changed? I mean, I don't think he was less important in the movie than in the books, but then again, it's been a while. I like his scrutiny of the good and the bad, though. He...

My vote goes to Ioreth. Methinks (or maybe me hopes) that Gimli's funny role won't continue. I mean, I got used to it, but if he's going to be more idiodic than Pippin, I won't be able to stand it...

Diamond, you sure it wasn't improving Legolas's image with the girls? Not that he needs it. Well, back to topic: I suppose the possibility for the western spoof was in there, but in my opinion,...

Alex Chamois--I agree. It's going to get old after a while. Also, Frodo nearly dies twice in FotR (the cave troll and the ringwraiths at Weathertop) But the symbolism, intended or not, was great. ...
