<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> Amen to Saucepan Man's post! <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> My thoughts exactly. I thought this was an excellent movie - much better than FotR or TTT. The changes they made in RotK didn't seem to be as major because the movie on the whole was so good. The emotion was so real and compelling. I was in absolute awe of this movie.Some complaints:Where were the Dunedain?? That was one of my favorite parts in the book!The Mouth of Sauron. They could have done this part so well and I'm not sure why they took it out! They better put it in the EE.Everything was too close together. Especially in Mordor and from Osgiliath to Minas Tirith.Gimli was too, well, funny. I was rather annoyed that he is used for comic relief.When Frodo wakes up it was incredibly cheesy, I thought. Sort of like in Rivendell when Frodo wakes up.Favorite parts:Pelennor Fields. This was amazing!Sam - Sean did an excellent job!!The Eagles.Pippin's song and everything else about Pippin.Sammath Naur.The Rohirrim and Theoden's speech. Eowyn and the Witch King.Just about everything else about the movie was amazing too. I was so surprised. It didn't seem like the same director could have done this movie.Looking at everyone else's posts our theater group was completely unresponsive!! No one clapped except for my cousin and I. No one cheered or anything!
