Whew - saw it last night, now I can finally look at the board again.<P>I'll leave detailed stuff for the individual character threads, but overall, just wanted to say that it was excellent. But too rushed, like a lot have said. I'm guessing the EE will take care of this - I got a lot of the same impression I first got with FOTR, that it was basically hopping from one climax to another. The FOTR EE took care of that - adding more mortar to the story, so to speak - and from all the loose threads left in this one (Eowyn and Faramir standing together at the end, but their relationship not spelled out, the references to Denethor's farsightedness but not to his Palantir), I'm guessing it will as well.
