For starters: <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>Yet again, Only Real Estel.

And for that, I thank him.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> At least in FotR... <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>"They couldn't have casted Gandalf better if that had tried!"<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Precisly what I thought. The same went for Borimir, Sam, & Saruman, to name a few. <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>I mean that scene where Boromir fights and dies absolutely had me in TEARS it was so well-acted!<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> It didn't have me in tears (that's a guy for you ), but it remains perhaps my favorite part of FotR! <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>Other things I liked was the Shire - was that not beautiful and just as innocent as we had all imagined it? And what a joy to see all those hobbits!<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> That's one of the reasons why I'm not to upset that they'll be no Scouring, it's hard to imagine it getting ruined ! I don't share Meela's opinion of excesive-hobbitness, but, to each his (or her) own . <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>one of the sequences that impressed me the most was the Fellowship's flight to the Bridge of Khazad'Dum (not to mention Gandalf's confrontation with the Balrog) - I'm serious in saying that I wish I could buy another copy of FOTR DVD and mail it to George Lucas and said on the movie "Here watch this and take notes - This is the way to make a movie!" - anyway everytime I watch this scene I am impressed in that the enviroment they're in was computer generated and yet I am hard-pressed to find any real evidence of such!<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Moria probably barely beat out the ending Borimir scenes for my favorite part, so I definatly agree with you there. Yes, it's to bad the Star Wars movies seem to be going down the drain a little (although I will say that I thought Episode 2 was much better than 1) . <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>I absoloutely adore the soundtrack as it's wonderful and fits the moods of the movie(s) wonderfully. It moved me as much as any of the performances of the cast did! <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Same here. Best soundtrack I think I've heard in my life. Well since I've run out of things to quote I'll part with this: I really do have a lot of good things to say about the movies (especially FotR), & if any of you here know me otherwise...it's only because I make sure to particpate in both sides of the movie-goers opinions.
