I liked the movie. It was well done and I did cry at times. Now the only thing that got me was that they didn't explain what was going on with Arwen, so I had to, at 4:30 in the mourning. But any way I thought that the two or three false endings were a bit annoying, 'cause I had to try my hardest not to yell at the screen. An then there was also this guy pretending to be peter pan with the errrr errr er errrrrs everyone else started to yell at him. But that is that there are always stupid people in crowds. I liked the intro. of Smeagol and Deagol at the beginning, that was cool, and then the slow transformation of Smeagol into Gollum.Gimli was the comic relief as always. I liked the book Deanther better than the film one, I wanted to hit him. Over all I say good.Edit: You must understand the creation of the CG characters is hard, and they did a great texturing job, But one just can’t make everything perfect. Until we have batter software and stuff CG is always going to look weird. They always move strange and so they floating Cg characters is just gonna happen any way. Hey that is one of the things I hate about most CG is that the characters don’t look like they are actually touching their environment. Rant Rant, the Computer animation major goes…..I have come to the conclusion that the movies are nothing like the books but a good story all in them selves. So, from a movie standpoint I liked it, but from a book stand point yuck![ 11:51 AM December 21, 2003: Message edited by: Annalaliath ]
