Do ya know how much trouble you can get into posting on other boards that you didn't like the movie!!!!!! I didn't like it. Not because of the omissions, not for changing Arwen's part, but because of the character assassination that went on! Elrond (Agent Smith) was mean. Galadriel was freaky. Aragorn came across as a defeated man rather than the heir to the throne of Gondor who is already fulfilling his purpose in defeating the enemy. Bilbo had dementia. I did like Frodo and the other hobbits and felt that they retained some character integrity. I liked Gandalf, too. I thought Saruman and that weird incident in Orthanc to be overacted and a little sad. I liked Boromir's interpretation, but come on, die already!! I loved Legolas, liked Gimli!
