Lathriel has just left Hobbiton.
Captain obvious has a purpose. He needs to state the obvious for those dim witted audience members that are watching. People who still haven't gotten it yet. Thank goodness for Legolas who helps them through the movie they would have trouble understandign without him.
Besides I like some of his lines. "A red sun rises.." I like that line cause I myself look at the sunrise while going to school and I too think of what will happen that day according to the colour of the sunrise. I know it does sound a little weird,but it goes to show you Leggy isn't the only one.

Also some quotes mentioned are actually straight from the book. For example the dialogue between Sam and Frodo about their story being put into stories and "Frodo wouldn't have gne far without Sam" That is straight from the book as is Legolas's line, "That is one of the mearas unless my eyes are cheated by some spell. One last example, "Why can't Merry fight for those he loves." is also a quote taken from the book(If a little reshaped)

Also the dialogue between Pippin and Gandalf about death is beautiful. I hold that speech close to my heart. I am not afraid of many things but if I fear one thing it is death and what comes after. So that speech is very re-assuring and puts my heart at ease while bringing tears to my eyes.

However, even I think there are some cheesy lines and Saucepan man I also thought Eowyn said Rick Cottontree untill I put on the captions because I knew I must be hearing things wrongly.

By the time we get 10 pages we should have the whole script here.
AGREED. (Though it is kinda sad)

GOSH you guys are very harsh.
