<B>Frodos final 'defeat' in Mt Doom:</B><BR>IMO the most pivotal line he says wasnt even there - <B>"I have come. But I do not choose now to do what I came to do. I will not do this deed. "</B> I didnt believe that was cut on my first viewing, infact it took me 3 viewings just to be certain that it was so pointlessly removed.<P>I agree wholeheartedly with you <B>Eomer of the Rohirrim</B> when you say more needed to be made of Aragorns arrival at Pelannor, could've been such a classic cinema moment instead of just a 'pretty good' one.<BR> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> I think it would have been fantastic if Gothmog had turned out to be a huge, ferocious, spine-chilling Uruk. Not your typical farmyard animal. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> too right again <B>Eomer!</B><P>The <B>Dúnedain of the North</B> needed to be in the movie for so many good reasons, least of all to show that Aragorn wasnt a race of one.<P><B>Beregond, Bergil, Imrahil, Halbarad, Elladan and Elrohir</B> were all sorely missed for no apparent reason given the amount of camera time that was wasted on flashy non-book moments and dialogue.<P>All-in-all the editing smacks of a 'rush-job' and the script has been warped by too many people working on it. I just hope the EE can save what should've been the clear cut film of the century.
