Just got finished watching it.<BR>It was like a whole new movie. The whole feeling of it changed, even with the older scenes.<BR>Did anyone else noticed that the sound was better? I could hear the lines better in this version. For some reason I saw a lot more, even with the older scenes.<BR>Another thing I like is that they used different takes of some of the already existing scenes (I definitely noticed some slightly different line deliverance in places).<P>How cute is Sam in this? His character was fleshed out so much by just a few scenes. The part with Rosie in the tavern & afterwards..."Don't worry Sam... Rosie can recognize an idiot" "Really?" (or something along those lines). The poem in Lothlorien gives me hope that the Oliphaunt poem may be in TTT (cross your fingers!). So great!<P>Another great part was in the Green Dragon. I also enjoy the lembas bit... "One bite can fill a grown man's stomach"... "How many did you eat Pippin"..."Four".<P>Do ya'll know about the Easter Eggs? Go to "Scene Selections", go over to the side with the numbers... highlight the last available scene & then press down once more (you will either see a ring or Orthanc - depending on whether you are on disc 1 or disc 2). Check them out!<P>I also started listening to the audio commentary. I was unaware of the fact that old Bilbo resembles Judy Dench's mother!
