<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>The fight scenes<BR>I know that they are an important part of the Lord of the Rings, but I don't think we needed quite so much of it. A lot of it was to fast to really follow anything and therefore didn't mean anything to the audience. A couple of shots to show us the vastness, a couple of shots with the main characters, done.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>I thought Jackson did alright on the fight scenes. Maybe a little much, at times, but you have to give a huge fight enough screen time or else it'll come out badly. I do think the camera was moving to fast in RotK, though.<P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>Denethor jumping off Minis Tirith. This scene was funny to watch, but made it seem like Denny had changed his mind about killing himself. I really didn't like that.<BR><HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>I didn't like it because PJ decided to sacrifice what little dignity in Denethor's death there was for a cool special effects scene. And it did make it look like he'd changed his mind, which is never good.<P>More will be added .
