A short first impression - no spoiler! <P>Well, not surprisingly I liked this one a lot. It's different from the first ones in several aspects; It's much more of an action flick than "Fellowship.." - & the battle scenes are amazing! However, the deviations from the book his considerably greater here than in the first one - that goes for both the story in itself as well as the characters & their behaviour/development. I didn't think it ruined anything for me, but it's a matter of opinion how one look at that. In some aspects, it's more Peter Jacksons personal interpretation than the first one I believe.<P>But have no fear about Arwen - she takes up a lot less place in this movie than she does on some of the posters for it.<P>AND! Don't be late for the show - the beginning is fantastic!
