I waited so long for a visual rendition of LoTR. I'll be dead before the next one comes. I'm hoping RoTK continues to satisfy my thirst! My "minds eye" was tired! <BR> It's funny though, when I read, or listen to the books, I always think the old images of my mind. Because the movie was different, It's easy for me to keep the movie's visuals separate from my imagination's . It's a little strange when I think about parts that the movie actually brought to "life" better than my imagination. Like....Gandalf riding the cart up to Bag End, the Argonath and the tiny boats on the river, Saruman and his palantir in that inner sanctum of Orthanc with all the lines on the floor. Of course my "minds eye" rescues me from the cruddy parts, like everything that was missing! (and the wargs! )
