It was, I think, *meant* to be suspenseful. First we have Galadriel's portentous voiceover, "all that is needed is for the young captain of Gondor...for all to be lost" and then we have a shot of Faramir looking like Robin Hood's nasty cousin. Oh, No! thinks Mr Average MovieGoer. The Quest is Going to Fail!<BR>Ok, not all the audience has read the books. But *everyone* knows that there is going to be a third film. So is it really likely that "all will be lost" now, at the end of the second film? <BR> What was especially annoying about the Osgiliath scene is that it cut into a really fantastic scene from the cleansing of Isengard which I was enjoying enormously.<p>[ January 23, 2003: Message edited by: Lalaith ]
