I admit, we got some nice eye-candy here, but the thing is, these eye-candies can ACT. I liked/loved just about all the performances. Gimli seemed to be lacking something, but I think that was mostly the script he had to work with: a few too many famous-last-words cliches for my taste. Merry also seemed a bit in the background compared to the other hobbits. Hopefully these things will be developed more in TT.<P>Someone I'm eager to see now from TT is Wormtongue. Not really a big fan of him, but I just found out that the guy who plays him (Brad Dourif) is the one who played Saavedro in Myst 3: Exile! (Now we'll see if anyone knows what I'm talking about...) <P>Dang it, I've been in this forum too long, now have very strong urge to see FotR again...
