Actually, it's getting a little hard now to remember *exactly* how I imagined things in the books.<BR>But, I know Lothlorian should have been sunnier, not so misty, more park-like. In my imagination I had seen fields of short grass under the trees dotted with little white flowers.<BR>The characters were mostly perfect, except for Faramir who just looked and sounded all wrong.<BR>Hobbiton was absolutely dead-on. Just like I'd imagined it. Meduseld was OK too, but I thought Fangorn should have been darker. The ents looked good, but they didn't sound quite right. In the movie Treebeard sounded more puzzled than wise.<BR>The Balrog was fantastic, though! :-)

My favorite scene that never made it into the movie:
"By Elbereth and Luthien the fair," said Frodo with a last effort, lifting up his sword, "You shall have neither the Ring nor me!"
