Well said Saucepan.<P>As a younger man, I have allowed myself to get hyped beyond all reasonable expectations about certain films and, inevitably, was disapointed. Often, once my perspective have been restored, I've come back to these films and realized some were not nearly as bad as I thought and some were still damn good.<P>Don't have unreasonable expectations. If you've loved the first two films, expect more of the same but if you were disapointed, don't expect Jackson to win you back with RotK. It isn't likely to happen.<P>Remember that for the most part, these films were all shot at the same time and so you should expect many of the same things you got in the first two movies. If that is good news, great, but if not, do not be shocked if you dislike RotK too.<P>H.C.
