When the Black Gate opened, all we could see was the Mouth of Sauron riding out, yes? But then, seconds later, it opens again and this absolutely gargantuan army comes pouring out. Where were they hiding?

I pretty much agree with what others have said...Christopher Lee is a perfect Saruman, he is so gifted at capturing that element of horror and evil and has a perfect, resonant voice. I'm disappointed that they didn't include the Scouring of the Shire, but in fact, in the books it feels like the story is over but it isn't. For the purpose of a film, I can see why they chose to end the story in a more logical , straightforward way.
Denethor could have been so much better. In the books he is mad, but still a sympathetic character. Loved the Mouth of Sauron...his mouth was so creepy and reptilian. Loved the drinking scene with Legolas and Gimli, but I am annoyed that the poor Dwarf keeps getting used for comic relief. It would have been fun to see Legolas a bit ruffled. And yes....poor Bill the Pony. They should have given him and Sam a five-second reunion. The horse was robbed, I tell ya! |

Speaking of the Force you can see Gandalf using the Force on Aragorn. That part where you hear the Eye going "Aragorn..." the camera cuts to Gandalf for a second and you can see him wave his hand like he's using the Force.

Ooh! Kill Bill II, too (whatever).
Hmm. Let's see. If PJ likes horses LOTR fans could have put in a call to Michael Corleone to have Luca Brasi have a chat with PJ. Hey, PJ ain't no bandleader. ![]() I've only put on the movie and cast commentary, so far, to ROTK EE, but this is rather typical of PJ and friends, on the one hand good special effects and casting, on the other a number of gratuitous, and frequently pointless, changes to LOTR. Arg! ![]()

Maybe the Trolls opening the Gate in RotK were wearing Rings of Power, and were thus invisible.
Maybe the army were all on an exceedingly large platform which ascended after the Mouth had went through.

Maybe tiny weasels bribed gandalf to dance like a ballerina in the halls of Minas Tirith.
Maybe.

Do you thereby imply Samwise that the audience was not supposed to twist their imaginations in such ways, and that this was actually a mistake from the filmmakers?

Has anyone looked at the commentary in the extras? It's hilarious! I laughed so hard! Dominic and Billy are especially funny.
