Shield

I liked the movie, which seems to be the most positive thing I can say after seeing it only once. I didn't really care for FotR the first time I saw it, but now I adore it. I hated TTT at first, but like it a lot now. I'm sure in the fullness of time I'll love this movie too, but when it was over all I could say was:<P>"My butt is numb, yet the movie should have been longer."<P>Whoever said this is a 3.5 hour trailer for the extended edition hit the nail on the head. Lots of good stuff, but not enough. Plot threads and characters left dangling. Rushed action. No Houses of Healing. <P>Things I loved:<BR>Frodo's suffering.<BR>Sam's raw intensity.<BR>Pippin. Every Pippin scene.<BR>Gandalf. Especially with Pippin.<BR>The EAGLES!<BR>Eowyn and the Witch King.<P>Things I hated:<BR>Sloth from "The Goonies" leading the ground troops of Mordor.<BR>Smeagol's transformation from white trash hobbit to Gollum took too long.<BR>Aragorn and Faramir's goofy battle tactics.<BR>Denethor. What a twisted husk.<BR>No memorable music.<P>The film was well done, the acting was even better than before and the effects were great. Yet something is still missing. I'm still grateful to everyone involved in the production of these films. Thanks, guys. I'm sure I'll love the EE.<P>-Lily
