<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>And as the final nail in the coffin for book readers 'Sam' gets to walk in the wrong door. So instead of the door of bag-End closing where it all began in The Hobbit, we get #3 bagshot row. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>Oh, that bothered me so much <BR>When I first read the spoilers for the ending I assumed that they would be ending at Bag-End, but I was wrong. It would have been nice if they had ended at Bag-End and they should have ended there. But I guess the director decided that he did not have enough time to say to the audience that Frodo passed down Bag-End to Sam and his family, and so thus it had to end at the Gaffer's hole, the incorrect hole. But I don't know, it just bugs me.<P>I also too thought that they seemed to be hurring through the story, and that is very odd for me to be saying that about a 3 1/2 hour film. For me it seemed like they spent 2 seconds with this charater, and then had to move to another charater, and so on and so on. This one seemed the most like <I>Lord of the Rings: Cliff Notes</I> to me. I still enjoyed it though, I thought that it was a really great, wonderful film, and an amazing achievement. Those were just my major gripes.
