[the real findorfin]

Firstly, I will say that it was stunning! And I truly mean that. Even after all the problems I found in the film, it has still left me with a sense of awe. The ending, from the lava shots onwards made the trilogy for me.<P>BITS I DID NOT CARE FOR:<BR>-"Saruman? Saruman? Here boy!" where is he<BR>-I wished Pippin had repeated Sauron's words like in the book.<BR>- Legolas knowing ore about the 'Evil Mountain' than Aragorn and the elf knowing too much in general<BR>- Gimli, stop being funny!!!<BR>- Gandalf hitting Denethor<BR>- Not enough of Faramir, he was great in this film (it showed why he was soo mean in TTT, he was trying to attain his father's love)<BR>- Lack of Palantir with Denethor<BR>- Lack of Palantir with Aragorn<BR>- Lack of time spent on Cirith Ungol (but the scenes that were there were great!)<BR>- Creating an orc figure head, get lost!<BR>- No Gandalf vs Witch King, I was waiting for it<BR>- Not enough time between Pelennor and the Black Gate<BR>- Not enough ground between Aragorn and the Black Gate<BR>- No Mouth of Sauron<BR>- the Lighthouse, you know what I mean<P><BR>BITS I LOVED:<BR>- Deagol/Smeagol scene<BR>- Pippin with Palantir<BR>- Beacons, wow<BR>- The Citadel, nice place to live and lovely views<BR>- Corsairs and Haradrim, cool<BR>- Theoden's speech gave me the biggest shivers ever<BR>- The whole of Frodo/Sam/Gollum stuff, amazing<BR>- The whole Merry and Pippin scenes together and alone. Edoras was heart-breaking and Pippin, WHAT A VOICE!<BR>- EAGLES!!<BR>- Samath Naur was just the pinnacle of the film, I though it was beautiful<BR>- Best shot in the film, Frodo with the lava behind<BR>- The Grey Havens gave me tears, in the book that bit saddens me but this was heart-rending.<P>It may seem from this that I disliked the film but as I said before, I loved it. In the words of the comic-book shop guy from the simpsons, "Best film ever!"
