I can't wait for the EE with the flashbacks, that will make it much better.

But I wound up seeing it 16 times in the theatre, and I also like his character much more now. I, too, am looking forward with great anticipation to the extended version. If it's like the EE of FotR, there will be many moments that develop and expand the relationships between characters, which is really the heart of the story. The action sequences and battle scenes are exciting and enjoyable to watch, but it's the characters and their relationships with one another that have readers and moviegoers coming back again and again.[ August 31, 2003: Message edited by: Alatáriël ]
