Actually, the only thing that really bothered me about that movie was the animation. The story was followed well (when we watched it, my sister squealed "They have the conspiracy!" I must admit that I did the same ) and things were...righter, somehow, but the animation made me dizzy. Especially the orcs. Things like Saruman's coat being red, and that his name was pronounced "Aruman" drove me crazy, but then I'm well-known for being overly picky. I actually felt nauseous when the big battle scenes took place, because they switched from live action overlaid with drawing to cartoon-type animation so much.<P>The live action LotR movie is better visually, but the plot holes leave quite a bit to be desired. (Faramir, etc.)<p>[ July 02, 2003: Message edited by: Tinuviel of Denton ]
