i guess a time lag of 25 years between reading the book and seeing the movie makes it easier for me to accept the cut-&-paste job they'd had to do, but honestly, i have to use a microscope to find something to complain about.<P>And putting Boromir's last stand on Camera One as opposed to off-stage as Tolkein did really made all the difference. Not that Bloom didn't do a good job as That Notorious Elf, but i walked out of the theater with a new favorite character. Somebody give SB a Purple Heart for that acting job. Right down to his lips turning blue -- can't get much more realistic than that and still have him get up and walk away when they're done filming.<P>s.t.<P>|_|) <-- it comes in pints, and here's a round for the board! ...Hmm, Nufaciel, it sounds like you might be a card-carrying member of the target audience for my fan-fic...
