What you actually liked about PJ's interpretation - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I too am glad this thread was started. I enjoyed the books and I have enjoyed the movies. There was a lot of things from the book I was really looking forward to seeing in the movie that didn't end up in it. I.E. The Barrow Wight scene from Fellowship and the breaking of Saruman's Staff by Gandalf from Two Towera. And I know things will be left out of ROTK. But I'm okay with that.<P>I knew these movies were going to be good when i first saw the trailer for Fellowship and I saw Legolas walking atop the snow as the rest of the Comapny trudge through it. So that was one of the things I liked. The detail of the Shire was wondeful, as was Rivendell and Moria. I also love the Doors of Durin scene. It looked exactly as a painting I saw of the scene from the book. The Argonath was great, as was Amen Hen. Boromir's death was noble and convincing. I had no problem with it being moved to the end of Fellowship, it was within the first few pages of Two Towers anyway. Helm's Deep expansion was terrific and Theoden's Healing was great too. The actors were all very well casted and Gollum's CGI was outstanding.<p>[ August 20, 2003: Message edited by: kboleen ]
