What you actually liked about PJ's interpretation

[Kaiserin]

I feel I should revive this old topic to post what I - and all of you in the Barrow Downs - appreciate about Peter Jackson's ROTK.<P>I shall begin:<BR>- Minas Tirith. The set was breathtaking.<BR>- The scene where Faramir and his men set out to battle, interspersed with an evil-looking Denethor enjoying his meal - with Pippin singing solo in the background. It was a little <I>too</I> dramatic but it had great visual, auditory and emotional impact.<BR>- The orc make up / costumes. Don't they just look so foul? Gothmog wasn't as I imagined him to be, but I thought that his missing eye and wrinkly face were creative.<BR>- The Army of the Dead. Zombie-like spectres. <BR>- The Battle of Pelennor Fields. Riveting action.<BR>- The lighting of the beacons of Gondor. Though this is not according to the book, it was quite nice to see on film.
