Maybe British people are more restrained...certainly northerners are (no offence to any fellow northerners reading this!). My sister and I went to see it when I visited her in London at Christmas, and we only got a few newbies asking about what happened in Fellowship.<P>But back up north I went to see the film with my friends, and it was so quiet you could have heard a pin drop (hooray for stupid clichés!). If anyone even tried to talk, virtually the whole cinema turned round and went, "SSSHH!" I wanted to laugh a couple of times, I admit that freely...<P>Edit: Oh yes, in London there were a couple of people who laughed at some of the scenes, like when Aragorn and Legolas were miles ahead of Gimli as they ran across the plains, and during the scene between Legolas and Gimli at Helm's Deep (including "Two!" "I'm on seventeen", "You could have picked a better spot!" "Shall I explain it to you, or would you like me to find you a box?" and "Don't tell the elf")<p>[ August 08, 2003: Message edited by: Airerûthiel ]
