Heh. I've got quite a few...<P>When the Witch-king says, "I will break him!" and does absolutely nothing about Gandalf.<P>Pretty much all of Theoden's lines bugged the crap out of me. They just made him so... ugh. I don't know how to explain it. He was not Theoden to me.<P>I didn't really like Aragorn's coronation speech. It was too simple. Or maybe I'm just picky, which is probably true. <P>Elrond's death fixation was pretty annoying, but I did actually like the part between Elrond and Arwen, "You have the gift of foresight. Tell me what you have seen!" I greatly disliked it when Elrond named Anduril. "Become who you were born to be." bugged me at first, but I'm okay with it now. <P>*snorts* "Arwen is dying... Arwen's fate is now tied to the Ring." Yeah. Just another attempt to weasel her character in where it doesn't belong. <P>Surprisingly, I didn't mind Gimli's lines in RotK as much as the other movies. *grimaces while thinking about the dwarven women scene*<P>As for Frodo saying, "Go home, Sam," I think it made sense for the movie. It shows just how truly evil Gollum is and how the Ring can separate even the best of friends. it was very, very sad, but necessary for the situation in the movie, at least in my mind.<P>And triple ughies goes to ultra-deformed-orc dude (I don't think his name is Gothmog - Gothmog was a balrog, unless I am much mistaken). I agree with <B>Maltagaerion</B> - that line was kinda cheesy.<P>Well, I think that's pretty much it. Hopefully the extended version won't add to the list here.<P>~Sam
