Well, he didn't get much screen time, and what was there was pretty much Christopher Lee doin' his thing. <P>What strongly bothered me was his reaction as the Ents attacked and destroyed Isengard. He just kind of bobbed back and forth on the balcony, like some guy trying to figure out why his car alarm was going off. <P>I mean, everything he had worked and planned for was going up in smoke - or down in water - and there's not a peep out of him. I would have expected SOMETHING. A little ranting, railing, and lamentation would have been nice. Perhaps a few counterspells or fireballs thrown at an Ent or two. But no, he just stands on the balcony, bobbing back and forth. <P>Ya missed a golden opportunity there for some good scenery-chewing, Mr. Lee.
