My biggest gripes are not lines, but rather missed details. My mother read 'Shelob's Lair' and 'The Choices of Master Samwise' the night before we went to see RotK, and she left the thetre complaining about not being able to see Shelob's eyes properly, and, I agree with her here, most of the emotion of that scene is played in Her eyes...which are not shown.<P>My gripe is about the downfall of Sauron.<P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> 'The realm of Sauron is ended!' said Gandalf. 'the Ringbearer has fulfilled his quest.' And as the Captains gazed south to the Land of Mordor, it seemed to them that, black against the pall of cloud, there rose a huge shape of shadow, impenetrable, lightning-crowned, filling al the sky. Enormous it reared above the world, and stretched out towards them a vast thretening hand, terrible but impotent: for even as it leaned over them, a great wind took it, and it was all blown away, and passed; and then a hush fell. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>Manwe knows where this amazing piece of imagery went, not to mention "the shadpw slippig over the gates of Bree in 'Fellowship'. i mean, he has the perfect shot to show a Man shaped shadow slipping over the fence as the Hobbits pass through, but no, the scene is wasted. It could have been useful, if only to show that the Hobbits aren't as safe as they think.<P>Actually going back on topic, Smeagol and Deagol' 'M love.' could be taken wrongly...very wrongly indeed, as could *Gollum* calling *Smeagol* 'His love'. Ewwwww! Bad mental image! BAD!!!!! *shudders*
