[Balin999]

The first time I went to the cinema the audience was really quiet, though they laughed especially about Gimli (they obviously liked the scene when he can't see over the wall in Helm's Deep), which was a bit disturbing for me, but we have discussed that already.<BR>Something that really annoyed me was that everyone laughed at Gollum. I nearly cried everytime I saw him. Usually I don't cry at the cinema, but this time it was different, I felt so sorry for the poor creature. P.J and especially Serkis have done excellent work! I guess the people that haven't read the books couldn't understand Gollum and didn't know Gimli, so they can be forgiven.<BR>The second time was horrible. In our row there were 7 or 8 kids that were running around all the time. I wished for Gimli's axe everytime one of them passed me by. <BR>All in all the audience was ok, though they didn't understand everything as it was meant to be understood.
