I am a great lover of the books, and I greatly enjoyed the opening to RotK. For one thing, I was very happy that Andy Serkis got to actually play in the movie. He deserved it immensely. And I thought it was just an excellent opening. I liked the way they used just a tiny part of it, the hand grabbing the Ring, in the first movie. And I really, really liked the Ring's heartbeat. At least I took it to be the Ring's. It did show it to be a character in itself.
