Within the range of the batch of posts in between my last post and this one, the people whose viewpoints resonate most closely with my own are:<P><B>Child of the 7th Age, Mintyztwin, </B> and <B>Lindolirian.</B><P>All I can do is echo your sentiments, the way I've echoed those of <B>Birdland</B> and <B>hama1</B> previously.<P>I would also like to say though, <P>... that at one point, I found myself asking, "Where's Frodo? Isn't he supposed to be in this movie? Did the director lose him?"<P>... and that the only time I laughed in this movie was at the Dwarf-tossing reference ... just like, the only time I laughed in FotR was at the Dwarf-tossing reference. (But indeed, I'm sorely disappointed that Gimli was treated like some comic sidekick rather than as a warrior deserving of well-earned respect.)<P>... and that I loved the scene where Legolas surfed down the steps on that shield! <P>Gandalf the Grey
