[Meela]

There was not enough of him. Not enough by half.<BR>But what there was of him was brilliant. Especially the scene where Pippin swears fealty. His smile is so comforting.<BR>The Faramir scenes were not enough, and too blunt.<BR>His death was much more intriguing than in the book. Wasn't too sure about Gandalf's involvement, with all the poking and stoking. Bit weird, but very good.<BR>Especially the part where Gandalf bonked him on the head with his staff. Although it was verging on the ridiculous, it was rather more dignified than I had read in previous reviews.<P>John Noble gets full marks and more. And a cookie for being such a good egg.
