[Legate of Amon Lanc]

I'd stand for FotR. I think it has, so far, caught the best the book and the story is more or less intact, I can go for it (sorry, Bombadil and Glorfindel). And what I really like about the film, the Middle-Earth in FotR resembles the most the Middle-Earth I know. No Sauron's eye-shaped powerplant, no Sauron's eye-shaped spotlight, no slimy Ghostbuster-like Men of Dunharrow, no Legolas skates or Mumak-jumps, no strange Faramirs in Osgiliath, no dead Aragorns in the river, no slow-motion Shadowfax scenes, and Legolas' two most significant speeches in the whole film ("Orcs!" and "Orcs!") are good to be taken as a joke (which is not the case of later "A diversion!"&co.). There are no exaggerated jokes, and the only scene which makes no sense is, as far as I recall, the escape to the Bridge of Khazad-dum, where Gandalf says "Lead them on, Aragorn" and in the next moment he is the first to hurry forward; and in the next moment everyone leaves Frodo to be the last on that falling piece of stairs, and then that stunt-like thingy with Frodo&Aragorn balancing on it, which is physically impossible. But otherwise, as I said, I like FotR the most. Not saying that there are not good scenes in the other two, but there are certainly more definitely bad scenes.
