My mum rented it out for me on the 26th so i watched it that evening. Watching the film for the third time, these are the things that really struck me:<P>Merry: I just think he is so groovy when he is angry! And I don't blame him for being mad, it must be somewhat frustrating trying to get Ents to do something. <P>Merry and Pippin: I liked how Pippin was always asking questions and trying to look on the bright side while Merry was being more realistic and down to earth. But in the end it's Pippin's hair brained scheme that did the job. I liked how they interacted, if only there was more of them!<P>Gimli: Although the dwarf humor was not always my cup of tea I loved how he was so brave at the hornburg, leaping into a load of Uruk Hai and not getting depressed or worried like some people *coughLegolascough* Lol, just kidding.<P>Faramir: Maybe he could have stood to be a bit less evil, but I loved the way the actor (his name escapes me) delivered his lines. Some of my favorite lines, coincidentally. When he says 'it would grieve you then, to learn that he was dead?' and 'Boromir was my brother'. I loved that part in the book and I think it was done pretty well in the film.<P>Stuff I didn't like? Little things really, 'looks like meats back on the meny boys!' made me squirm, Fangorn looked all squidgy and I still don't really know why Aragorn had to fall off the cliff. <P>And sometimes the editing was quite choppy because it took me a moment to adjust into the diferent scene. But that couldn't really be helped.<P>But I watched it until about 1 in the morning so I'm a little delirious.
