Has anyone read Ebert's review? I agree almost completely.The cinematograghy was surreal.Bean was amazing, Christopher Lee and Ian Mckellan were also amazing, but not as much as Bean.The branches, or whatever they were(definately not wings) coming out of the Balrog were weird, but it was very very neat(no better word to describe it)Bilbo nearly biting off Frodo's head in Rivendell was very good, well not good, but I thought it really let the viewer see the power of the ring, even better than that fancy CGI scene with Galadriel that I thought was overdone.The pace was to fast. The shire even went fast, I was amazed at that. Then it kinda snowballed from there, not allowing much detail.But I think better and better of the movie every moment.Definately some Oscar nominations, maybe a best supporting role to Sean Bean.
