I agree on the Galadriel part...and someone somewhere said that poor Celeborn only got one line, wheras he's much more important in the book. also he sounded kinda spaced out...<P>I was disappointed that I didn't see even one mallorn tree too...<P>Merry and Pippin...<BR>this DID annoy me somewhat. whilst there WERE some good comedy moments, they were very one-dimensional and the "mission-quest-thing" wasn't that important...or Elrond would have protested more about them being part of the fellowship given that they didn't even know where they were going. Also it kinda bugged me that they were always treated as one, almost pronounced "MerryanPippin", with Pippin having little or no personality of his own, rather following Merry's lead all the time. in defence of my namesake, I'd like to say <P>but don't get me wrong...twas a very good attempt. never in a thousand years are they gonna make a film of LotR, or in fact any film, that totally satisfies ALL of the fans. it's still the best movie I've ever seen, and I loved it. I didn't really notice the minor faults until afterwards and I was released from the spell...
