It shows a few things I haven't seen before, some I have *cough cough bootlegged comiccon, bloopercoughcoughreel cough *.

Could anyone understand Aragorn? Youuuuuhhhhhhhavehhhhhhh mhhhhhhhhe, hmmmhoohwwwhmmm hmooo! Behhhhold, the swhhhord of Elendil!

Faramir/Eowyn looks pretty good, except the dialogue is tweaked just enough to irk me.

"Mr. Frodo, there is light, beauty up there, that no shadow can touch."

At last...Christopher Lee's scenes! Perhaps it is my Chris Lee obsession, but I did think the scene of him atop Orthanc was reminiscent of his clifftop scenes as Lord Summerisle in The Wicker Man.

Now, did anyone else notice this, but look closely at the scene with Faramir & Eowyn - I distinctly noticed David Wenham's eyes do a crazy side to side rolling motion, as though he was trying to make Miranda Otto (who had her back to the camera) laugh. It was kind of like this smiley ----->

Hahaha, you're right, 'the sword of Elendil' bit was the only thing I understood from his speech, and I hung on that. I stand corrected, Helen, thanks for quoting that passage from the book. But I still...oh well, I still find it a bit annoying. Something makes me think 'webcam'. (Like "Sauron, now we can finally see each other - so let me show you my new sword.") Yes I know I am a technologically-perverted creature that Tolkien would probably frown upon.
Of course Saruman attacking Gandalf from above is so unreasonable and out of character that I didn't even think to mention it.
But all in all I expected such minor flaws and they don't minimize my enthusiasm one bit. I can hardly wait - I'll start saving money (and hope it's not more than 100 $ as I'm only a poor beggining teacher...)

What I believe he said was: "Long have you hunted me. Long have I eluded you. No more. Behold the Sword of Elendil!" (And I'm pretty sure Sauron replied, "Holy Crap!" Just kidding ) That's just what I got.

Anyone else think that the Mouth of Sauron looks like he's been chewing tar? You know, the black goop they patch roads with? Ew.

Yeah, Sapphire_Flame, that's what I heard Aragorn say.

Lalwendë, I don't think David Wenham was trying to make her laugh. He was looking from one of her eyes to the other. You can only look someone in the eye, not eyes.

The fireball of Saruman was nnnnnnnnnnn...........uh........not............... . I'm wary of it.

I liked the Mouth of Sauron. The only thing you see is his mouth, the only thing that important is what he's saying. He is dead and only given over to Sauron. Very cool.

I heart Faramir!!!!!!!! (They've tweeked the dialogue too much for my comfort, but I'm a purist and I heart Faramir, as I said.)

Maybe it was just me but did anyone else think the stripped chin on the Mouth of Sauron was a little strange? Someone get him some toothpaste!

Besides that, I'm really looking forward to Eowyn and Faramir and the Gandalf vs. The Witchking December 14th is no where near close enough!
