I went to a 1:00 PM show. The theater was sold out, and the audience was mega cool (except for the kid behind me that kept kicking my seat). They laughed in all the right places, and they cheered and clapped a lot: When the movie started, when the Dead came out of the ships and started attacking, when Eowyn cuts off the fell beast's head, when Eowyn kills the Witch-King, and when Legolas does his little oliphaunt stunt are just a few of the times.<P>Nobody that I heard really had any problem with Frodo/Sam, Merry/Pippin. The people in the row behind my group were seemingly anti-Pippin in general though; I was very tempted to turn around and stick my sword into one of them to shut 'em up. <P>Other than that, and the fact that no one but the people in my group were dressed up, the audience was very cool.<P>Abedithon le,<P>~*~Aranel~*~
