Silmaril

We have two very different view points in our household. I definitely thought the film rushed mainly due to scenes left out (Faramir is dying and then he shows up at the end fine - Eowyn and Faramir together at the end - Gondor accepting Aragorn as King). However moving back and forth between the several plot lines (Frodo & Sam - Gondor - Paths of the Dead) added to the rushed feeling. I thought this worked well in the first two films but in RotK I felt out of breath because we kept shifting back and forth so quickly.<P>On the other hand my non-book reading husband liked the movie with the exception of the end. He thought the entire movie bogged down after the destruction of the ring and moved much too slowly.<P>He had no feeling for how long Arwen and Aragorn had waited to be together and the wedding was no big deal for him. <P>He also didn't understand why Frodo, Bilbo and Gandalf were sailing out of ME with the elves and he thought the whole ending was boring. <P>At least RotK seems to have confused him enough to get him to admit that he will have to sit down and read the books to get a better understanding of the films!
