Very rushed - I felt as out of breath as some of the characters must have been by the end. It certainly didn't feel like 3+ hours.<P>I wish there had been more breather-scenes, but that was probably impossible if they were to get the movie into a shape that wouldn't utterly confuse people who haven't read the book. (The only thing my non-book-reading friends were *really* confused by was the Faramir/Eowyn thing where they stand together at the end - one wondered if that was in the book, or if the filmmakers were trying to tidy things up. I told him the book had much more than that).
