I liked the kiss; it felt very Tolkien, and was brought off very well, very seriously. There was a real parting-forever feeling about the scene.<P>One random note; my brother, who's in Iraq right now, just saw ROTK (*ahem*bootleg*ahem*) and liked it, but the scene that really impressed him was, oddly enough, the one right at the end, where the four hobbits are sitting at the Green Dragon. He said that hit really close to home, and that they did that scene very well - as he put it, no matter how familiar the surroundings that you're in, you still feel as if you have more in common with the three or four other guys who experienced fighting alongside you than with anyone else in the place.
