I have a question. Why did noone like the ending? The book drops you off right in the middle and I thought it was good.<P>I loved the movie. The spirit and feel of Tolkien really came through. Forget the minor details omissions and such. <P>3 hours is a long time for a movie, but too short to make the FOTR perfect. You can't walk away like you can with a book and pick up again later.<P>I loved it. I thought Viggo was the perfect Aragorn and Gandalf was superb as well as Boromir. <P>I thought Merry and Pippin were kinda lost. I kept trying to figure out which was which but they get more prominent in the the next 2.<P>A great film, stop trying to make it live up to the books. It won't and I knew that from the beginning. It is based on JRR Tolkien, not by him.
