    Yeah, but I shouldn't have to wait for the extended DVD version to get essential plot points. The dumbass stairway scene in Fellowship ought to have been cut from the cinema version in favor of the gift-giving scene, not the other way around.

    We FINALLY saw it Friday night. It was worth the wait. I'm looking forward to the boxed-set of the EE DVD's. ;)

    In addition, to everything said above - MY very minor gripe was about the arrival of the Rohirrim at Minas Tirith. In the book, that is THE dramatic moment for me; Minas Tirith is in darkness, everyone is about to give up, the Lord of the Nazgul is all high and mighty - then a cock crows and the sound of horns can be heard (horns of the North blowing wildly). Rohan had arrived.

    I get a chill in my spine just writing about it. Didn't quite get that in the movie - they just sort of turned up. But otherwise BRILLIANT.

    [​IMG] Exactly my feeling about that Harbourboy...Good call! That was the one scene I was most looking forward to...ALthough I still liked it, it could have been more dramatic seeing the sun rise as the Rohirrim charge shouting "Death!" Great stuff!

    I admmit, Theoden's speech was probably the best thing in the entire movie.

    Like a friend said, not enough Rohrimm.

    *sigh*

    I need to see it again... too bad I am firmly set in the "starving student" category... :(
