[Morgul Queen]

the simple fact that you get a 30 second shot of Frodo and Sam in their Orcish getup, but when you next see them they're back wearing Shire clothes. What's up with that? I thought Frodo didn't *have* anything else. 'You can't go walking around Mordor in naught but your skin.'<P>It isn't even mentioned the Eomer is now king of the Mark. I love Eomer, I adore him, I lick his boots, and was so bitterly dissapointed that the fact that he is now king was skipped. I mean, how could you expect the average cinematic audience to remember that he is Eowyn's brother, and therefore Theoden's heir.<P>The Houses of Healing. 'nuff said.<P>The Grey Havens left me feeling so cheated as that is the place where I always cry in the book. Silent Weeping, Full Out Sobbing, Cruel Choking Sobs. You name it, I've done it in response to that chapter, yet in the Movie...nothing, diddly squat. That needs to be seen to.<P>The dialogue is another major one. Frodo's 'Aiya Earendil Elenion Ancalima!' was butchered, and most of that which I had most wanted to see was gone, including: 'Then you shall go with me,' said the Rider. 'I will bear you before me, under my cloak until we are far afield, and this darkness is yet darker. Such good will should not be denied. Say no more to any man, but come!'<BR>'Thank you indeed!' said Merry. 'Thank you, sir, though I do not know your name.'<BR>'Do you not?' said the Rider softly. 'then call me Dernhelm.'<BR>Absolutly beautiful, as is: 'Eowyn, Eowyn!' he cried at last. 'Eowyn, how came you to be here? What madness or devilry is this? Death, death, death! Death take us all!'<BR>By cutting these sorts of lines the beauty and majesty and sheer monumentalness of the story is diminished. *sighs* Let us pray, and wait. The Extended is yet to arrive. Mayhap we sould save the final judgement 'til then?<P>P.S. Is monumentalness even a word?!
