I loved the opening scenes with Gandalf's battle with the Balrog.<P>Also the long shots of the Ents at Isengard, with the waters rushing around them was too beautiful. <P>Gollum at the Forbidden pool was great Him singing to the fish, then beating it was too funny. <P>There was a shot earlier in the film where you see Gandalf riding Shadowfax bareback that I can still see. (I wonder if that was CGI or just one incredible stunt rider?)<P>And the tracking shot of the Three Walkers were great, too.<P>See, I didn't hate the movie! It just didn't all come together for me or move me as much as the first one.
