Just saw it again...<P>It comes across much differently the second time. The first time I was too blown away by the visuals to pay much mind to other stuff. This time, however, I noticed much more...<P>#1 complaint: the ending - what is with all that fading!?!!?!? It was really irksome this time around (didn't love it the first time either)<P>The music seemed better this time, but there are a few spots I still am not fond of. I think the orchestra could be put to better use in spots. However, there were some fine musical moments (the beacons music was perfect for that spot, and the Black Gate/Sammath Naur music towards the end was just right on ...but NOT the Gollum-dancing-with-ring stuff!)<P>I doubt I'll be going a third time...at least for a week or so Two viewings just have left me a wee bit jaded. I'm gonna go read the books again instead.<P>
