Dude, you get used to that after a while. I have become numb to these criticisms and outbursts of how "bad" TTT was. I cannot believe the fans lack of appreciation that someone would make a movie of such "old" books. Hollywood hasn't out for movies that are classic literature and don't have some naked butts or cleavage shown or something. I am very suprised at how well critics and non-Tolkien based viewers are liking it. There's no sex in the story! I'm suprised it's doing so well! Sorry, sarcasm. I hate how you can't watch a movie with a good story line without BAM! Girl and guy in underwear or less clothing. I have gotten pretty sick of it. Anyway, I thought it was better than the first one. Lots of people (non-Tolkien based) got a little bored believe it or not in the FOTR. TTT jumps right into the story, it's on a larger scale, more action, blood and gore, more characters, and more is at stake making it more exciting. In my opinion anyway. People are really loving it though, even this guy in my newspaper that didn't know what he was talking about. He said in some of his complaints that the Ents were too wierd and he said "they're just trees"! NO! They're Ents. I think he thought they moved around too much and were able to do too many things. He obviously didn't know much. Well, this club now has 27 members! Pretty good! Final thought (I promise): I hope it wins Best Picture this year!
