I'm SURE we saw Galadriel's ring in the beginning of the movie? remember the 3 freaky people with Galadriel in front and a glowing shiny thing on her finger? That was Nenya. Unless i was just hallucinating at the start of the movie...the 4 times i saw it.<P>I really wish they'd shown the gift giving in slightly more detail - it would only have taken a few minutes and would have contributed to the story. I liked the bit when Gimli asked for a lock of Galadriel's hair, i thought it showed how much his feelings had changed towards elves during his stay in Lorien.<P>On the subject of Lothlorien, i have to agree that Galadriel and the ring thing was a bit overdone. There wasn't any need for her to go green was there? She's like the ruler of Lorien and they don't go around having wee scary fits when they get offered a ring (whether it's THE ring or not). Also, her voice sounded like some kind of robot or machine type thing - and i don't think middle earth had advanced that far in technology! I think the book described it much better than the movie showed. Saying that, I though Cate Blanchett was really good as Galadriel, there were just too many special effects.<P>It's ok, i'm done now<P>By the way, concerning the Haldir thing, he does look a bit weird. Also, why is he in TTT?
