Wow! Awsome sneek preview... and some laughs...

For example when Boyd says, "Look how pretty i was..." Dominique gave him a doubtful look...

And, of course when saruman smacks grima...classic evil overlord to minion affection...

plus! I got to see boromir another time! Yay-ness! *Ka does victory dance... He looked ultra pretty, and with the classic-cannot- forget- deviant- grin. (I watched that four or five times... yes, i'm guilty!

) I wonder if Denethor has always thought that about him...

And when aragorn talks to sauron... it reminds me of how my friend threatens apple when his ipod breaks...Ah, so refreshing...

Lovely! Now i have to go and buy the dvd again! (I was smart and waited for the TT to come out on special edition... but, someone gave me RTK widescreen awhile back. It was sort of a thank you gift...)

Nooooo! My computer had issues with the preview, so I only got to see the first minute or so (up to the point where Aragorn shows Anduril to Sauron through the Palantir) before it died.

I'm on my mom's computer now, so hopefully it'll finally work!

Woo-woo! Check this out!
Death of Saruman/Grima, Gandalf's broken staff, and the MoS! AWESOME!
The MoS is very cool, if he doesn't have enough screentime. His arrogance is really cool, almost from the book.

And remember that Arwen was supposed to have a song? They think that this just could possibly be it. It sounds like Liv to me.

In short, w00t!

I saw the EE yesterday...I'm not sure if you're allowed to talk about illegally d/ling stuff on these forums, so I won't.

(Hey...I couldn't resist...it's LotR!)

Anyway, it's great...though it actually took away from the character of Denethor instead of adding to it on some parts. Or rather, they intensified his character from the movie. They actually make him seem insane. He loses his temper at Faramir waving his sceptre around, then falls backwards and starts hallucinating.

Another thing: sometimes, the lines just seem too..."memorised". Gandalf rides with Pippin, and a few seconds later, the Witch King lands in front of him. Immediately, Gandalf starts saying "Go back to abyss...". It just seems like he's reciting something he memorised, like a speech. It seems fine when you only look at that part (meaning it's not bad acting), but when you see the entire flow...I dunno. Same goes for Saruman and Theoden talking. Saruman asks "Shall we not have peace, you and I?" and Theoden says his speech immediately without even a brief consideration.

And urgh...I said this in another thread, but sometimes Saruman and Gandalf & co. actually whisper to each other. It'd be hard enough to hear if they shout! Theoden almost whispers "Be free of him" to Wormtongue, and Saruman hears him from about 300m above.

Well, all in all, the EE was great. The above are just a few things that I think they could've improved on.
