I agree with nearly everything said here..<P>I don't understand why poor Glorfindel is never in the movies? In the animated version of the Fellowship that showed in the 70's or 80's is was Legolas saving Frodo and finding the hobbits and Aragorn. In the 2001 movie it was Arwen. Ug. Poor Glorfie! <BR> <P>I also hated the scene where Galadriel is tempted. She looks like an amateur stuck her on Adobe Photoshop and blobbed her up with various tools. It irked me alot that they did that..<P>I also didn't like how they took out the giving of the gifts at Lorien. Instead, they suddenly spliced in a scene where Galadriel gives Frodo the Light, but I was really looking forward to the other gifts. I know they -had- to have Frodo receving the Light in there, but it took be aback and everyone else I talked to. It was out of place. Choppy.<P>Another thing that was choppy and out of place was Arwen and Aragorn's show of affection, love. Well, for one thing, it was uncomfortable sitting next to my brother watching that scene, lol, but that's not the movie's fault, eh. It was just..I don't know..<P>The super orcs looked funny when they jostled from side to side, running. <P>One big thing that bothered me in the movie - Gimli was hardlt shown killing anything! For the Mines of Moria, when the orcs and troll stampede in, he merely hollers while perched atop the tomb, and then gets knocked off and scuttles around, avoiding death. Later, in other fights with Orcs and the like, they only show him doing some axe-rific action once or twice, while Legolas is practically a killing machine! Not that I mind Legoladdie giving the bad uns' their come-uppance..but I wanted to see Gimli clobbering more orcs! <P>
