Audience Reactions?

Well the first time I saw it, the theatre was full. People "ooooohhhddd" and "aaaahhhd" at the right places, and many of the women folk covered their faces at the mighty Queen Shelob. It was great. Unfortunately, at the end when the screen went blank right on Mt. Doom, many of the people thought that was the end and started leaving! I was like "Get back in here you idiots, it's not over yet!" Sadly, many of them didn't feel like returning to their seats, and thus missed the magnificent ending. <P>And of course the entire theatre applauded for Gimli's "That still only counts as one" comment. :P
