*TTT - Overall Impressions

I felt a little empty , I am afraid to say. Too much hype left me feeling I was either in the wrong film, or the projectionist had done his own editing. I get the distict feeling we'll get a stack of new scenes in the enivitable DVD extended edition next year. It will all make sense then !<BR> I too think maybe I should give it another chance and go and see it again. I won't lie though, I was yawning at some points. <BR> The Aragorn love triangle, was a tad rushed and made no sense to me?? Did I miss something? <BR> What ever happend to Frodo, I think the ring should have been given to Sam, he's got more umpf in one of his big toes than Frodo had in his whole ( still sweet) little body. <BR> I think Gollom stole the show and of course Gimley and Legolas, the best part of the battle of helms Deep, was those two totting up their killings.<BR> I really don't want to be negative, and I am sure it must have been a hard task to fit the mammomth story into 3hrs, but for the sweet love of the shire, it would have been nice to weave less bumpf into what is already a complicated story line anyhow.<BR> Still I have told all I know to go and see it, but now you know why half the cast like " Return of the King " better, maybe these films will pale compared to that one.<P> It would be interesting though what people think of it if they saw it a second time <BR>
