I like the active Mount Doom, even the most dim-witted viewer will figure out something bad is about to happen. It also looks very dramatic. I liked the fact that PJ decided not to show the whole of Minas Tirith so that it was still a surprise by the time ROTK came into theatres.
I never noticed before but when the black riders galop out of the gate you can see some Gondorian remains on the gate in the form of two men, on on each side holding a sword.
I also like the reflection of the elvish letters on Frodo's face.
There are two of my favourite lines in this sequence. One form Gandlaf, "You can learn all there is to know about Hobbits in a month and yet after a hundred years they can still surprise you."
and "It is a dangerous bussiness,Frodo going out your door...."
