Loved: 1. Lighting the beacons 2. Attack of the Rohirrim at Pellenor 3. Attack of the fell beasts on Minas Tirith 4. the eagles 5. Frodo's desperation 6. Sam's heroism 7. Faramir's sadness with his father 8. The Army of the Dead 9. Sam's reaction to Frodo ordering him to "go home". It was just heartbreaking. Nice acting, Mr. Astin.Hated: 1. what the feck did they do to Denethor???! He wasn't an insane pig and they made him into one. This was the one part of this movie that REALLY ****ed me off. 2. No House of Healing???! 3. Arwen being tied to the ring...since when? 4. How little was made of Eowyn's defending Theoden...was almost a dramatic after-thought. 5. The flower petals floating down at Aragorn's crowning...ok, where were they coming from, as the Citadel is at "the top floor". 6. The whole Grey Havens...could have been so much better. It felt hurried and tacked-on. 7. Many many wobbly CG shots where you could actually see a character's feet slipping on nothing. Shoddy and rushed.
