There were so many powerful moments, and I felt myself on the verge of tears so many times (which may seem like an understatement to some, but I can honestly say that I have never cried at a movie.) Perhaps the moment wherein I felt Tolkien's writing shine through the most was Aragorn saying "You bow to no one," to the four hobbits. That was absolutely spectacular. <P>I could not have asked for more out of the entire Mount Doom scene. The acting on all counts was splendid, and certainly Frodo and Sam sitting on the rock was one of the most poignant scenes I have ever seen. Bravo, Peter Jackson!
