*TTT - Overall Impressions

[Losthuniel]

Bad, bad, BAD PJ. VERY BAD. Honestly, the movie deviatied so far from the book, I was expecting Shadowfax to sprout wings, and the laws of gravity to buckle completly.<P>1. SMAYGOL, not SMEEGOL. (my 2 friends and I kept echoing every SMEEGOl with SMAYGOL)<P>2. Frodo is not a simpering idiot, who suddenly tries to kill his best friend. he's completly one dimesional here. I won't elaborate<P>3. Sheild surfing: One orc with a well placed pike, and bye-bye Legolas(and fangirls!)<P>4. I am going to kill Liv Tyler. That WAS NOT Arwen. Maybe Arwin or Arwyn, but I wasn't Tolkien's Arwen. And I certainly did NOT appreciate Aragorn/Arwen make-out scene. So much for chastity.<P>5. Faramir: I am still reeling. Ow. Poor Tolkien is turning in his grave. I am not even going to go into it.<P>6. Aragorn-falling-off-cliff-just-to-see-orcs plot device: Stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid! Oh yes, and TOTALLY plausible.<P>7. Elrond-is-a-jerk scene: No he's not! Yeah, ok, he can be, but he just seemed really heartless. And they ignored the fact that Arwen would become mortal. Oh, poor Arwen and Aragorn. Elrond is so mean to them. Boo Hoo<P><BR>Not to metion the wierd camera angles, complete lack of emotion in most spots, and just..argh.
