My mom says the movie has its funny bits, but is altogether too gory for her liking. Also she seems to think it a bit silly for well, I'll use Boromir's line:<P>"It is a strange fate that we should suffer so much fear and doubt over so small a thing. Such a little thing"<P>And my dad...ugh. He says the film seems to be full of "New age junk" and he seems to think that the scene in Isengard where they're digging Lurtz out of all that nasty goo to be some sort of re-incarnation. Doesn't help that he's never seen the film all the way through. The first time we tried showing it to him, he fell asleep during the Council scene. The second time he walked in when me and my nephew were watching it and he's like "I still don't see where this girl (Galadriel) fits it". Well maybe if you stayed awake for the whole thing you'd understand lol. Oh well, I also enjoy watching by myself better. I can get into it better, and cry. It's hard to get emotional when someone is going "I would not have kissed a bloody man's forehead" or (in reference to Merry and Pippin taking the heat for Frodo and getting carried off) "Idiot little kids!" ARRGH they're not idiots and they're not little kids! Ah, I guess I get too defensive sometimes, or not! Sorry for venting, I'm done
