Within the range of the batch of posts in between my last post and this one, the people whose viewpoints resonate most closely with my own are:Child of the 7th Age, Mintyztwin, and Lindolirian.All I can do is echo your sentiments, the way I've echoed those of Birdland and hama1 previously.I would also like to say though, ... that at one point, I found myself asking, "Where's Frodo? Isn't he supposed to be in this movie? Did the director lose him?"... and that the only time I laughed in this movie was at the Dwarf-tossing reference ... just like, the only time I laughed in FotR was at the Dwarf-tossing reference. (But indeed, I'm sorely disappointed that Gimli was treated like some comic sidekick rather than as a warrior deserving of well-earned respect.)... and that I loved the scene where Legolas surfed down the steps on that shield!
