The line I disliked the most was when Aragorn and Gandalf are talking in Edoras (tangent: I love Merry and Pippin's song about the Green Dragon!), and that whole business about Gandalf not knowing if Frodo is alive or not and Aragorn saying "What does your heart tell you?" (Wow, that was a runon sentence.) It was totally back-asswards. Or at least that's what I think.<P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> and all of the ones you have said plus Theoden "you already have." that was the obligatory disgusting Harry Potter closing line of the film. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>Yes, that WAS quite cheesy. But not nearly as cheesy as the Aragorn/Arwen flashbacks in TTT. I hated those.<P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> And Theoden's speech before the Pelennor was stupid. He sounded like a madman. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>The majority of that was actually straight from the books (though PJ seems to have taken the battle-cries of Theoden and Eomer and put them through a blender to get that speech). In fact, Theoden sort of WAS a madman. To quote the book (from memory, oy vey!): "Fey he seemed, or the battle fury of his fathers ran like new fire in his viens..." He was in a berserker battle-rage. Oh, to be a Viking. <P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> Flash back several years, pace Star Wars, Return of the Jedi: <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>So I WASN'T the only person to notice that! Huzzah! Am I also not the only person to notice the same Star Wars scream being used in both TTT and RotK?<P>And Legolas may be the Prince of Obvious, but he's MY Prince of Obvious.
