As a severe arachnophobic, I can't say I would enjoy seeing a giant spider storming onto the screen in any movie.<BR>It wouldn't work in TTT. A giant spider and the Helm's Deep seige is too much at once. I know there's a lot in Rotk as well, but it seems much less than TTT, where there is so much to establish, and many more storylines, or so it seems to me. I suppose they could have gotten away with showing Sam and Frodo entering Shelob's lair and finishing the film just as we realise there's something there with them, but finding out in the next film. Suspense or what?! It would be a great ending!<BR>But I still prefer Faramir's "do-a-Boromir".<BR>Plus I was never particularly partial to the hobbits. I could well do without them.<p>[ July 17, 2003: Message edited by: Meela ]
