I thought the movie was excellent. I saw it 3 times. The book and the movie = 2 different things. As a movie just being a movie, this is one of the best that I have ever seen. Tolkiens books are the best I have ever read. Keep it at that. No more bickering. :P<P>I think at the end of the day we can all agree on this simple point... Sean Bean was excellent! Legolas was cool. Sauron beating the elves with his mace was awesome. Overall the movie ROCKED. <P>Only thing I dont like is Liv Tyler as Arwen, how Arwen and Galadriel were so angelic and shiny that I had to wear sunglasses in the theater so I wasnt blinded when they appeared, and how the elvish speech was always spoken so softly like it wasnt really a language so much as a secret speech.
