I'll have to admit that I nearly cried everytime when I saw Gollum, especially when Frodo called him Smeagol. I couldn't understand why I nearly wept but I felt so sorry for that poor creature. I also felt very sad when Gollum talked to himself (by the way, excellent work, P.J.), though everyone around me laughed at Gollum. I guess those were the people that hadn't read the books. <BR>But I didn't feel sad when Sam made his little speech to Frodo. I was so angry because of the many changes of the story, especially in the later middle part of the movie. The scene when Haldir died was too much for me, not because I was so sad, but because I nearly got mad of anger. First, 500 bow-elves come out of Lorien (!!!), Haldir (!!!) leading them. (that's because the actor had to play in the second part, too). And then, to top it all, Haldir gets killed. When I saw this scene I cried out aloud "Come on, this is such a crap" and I guess at least 30 people heard mein the theatre. But I was so upset that I wanted to leave, which I didn't, luckily.
