The really cool thing about King, the stuff that I think will make this film awesome, is that although there are plenty of epic battles, in the center of it all are a series of deeply personal struggles. Denethor and Pippin; Eowyn, Merry and the Witch King; Sam, Frodo and Gollum on Mount Doom. I have little doubt that the battle scenes in King will be completely awesome, but what I'm looking forward to are these personal conflicts. I think it will be these moments that will elevate this beyond just a well connected scene of pretty pictures, and the best thing of all is that all this stuff was in the book to start with.<P>H.C.
