Just saw it last night. Just a <I>bit</I> late, but you'll have to forgive me, fist I was stuck in Eastern Europe, then I was stuck without a car on campus, you know how it goes...<P>Anyway, it was a beautiful, beautiful, beautiful film. Imperfect, like all things under the sun, and still impossible to forget. <P>My boyfriend was notably miffed about the fact that "the bad guys on the huge elephants" looked so darn Arab (him being Arab and all). <P>I was miffed by whole "Arwen is dying" line, which made it seem as if Arwen has some sort of deadly allergy to the Ring. <P>The Denethor munching/Pippin singing/Gondorians riding sequence was spectacular, engaging the senses and clawing at yer heart. <P>Am now hoping that Faramir and Eowyn's budding relationship will have its place in the extended edition.
