I liked it too. I wish it was longer and had more detail. More development of the new characters, and a bit more explamination on the story at the beginning. A recap or update.

Seemed like a lot of big stuff took place really quickly. And some other stuff was a bit far fetched even for LOTR's. Story gaps were great, or should I say segment gaps. Ya, segment gaps between parts were a tad long for the normal leep.

Golom (Sp) was very interesting, but his introduction into the story this time was a bit under explained. How did he get from the caves to them? How did they go from being right at the Black Gate to Gondor in such a short period of time? What, did they transport?

Some minor nit picks, but overall the movie was epic, and that is why it works. Just fricking epic. It will do nicely at the Box Office. I predict 500 million by March US sales only.

So who's going to see it in costume? (ie as an orc or gandalph or something.)

Gandalph, I'm not sure if you qualify as a "yes" for this one just by turning up... after all, you are Gandalph, and so anything you wear is "dressed up as Gandalph".

That TNT special was great, I just wish I had seen more of it.

Just a quick correction. The actor playing Gollum was wearing a drysuit, not a wetsuit. Remember that scene was filmed at a streambed they had to remove all the snow and ice. The water was freezing cold, and he had to splash through it....several times. A drysuit is designed for divers/swimmers who have to move in cold water so they can Last and remain, relatively, dry. That is one tough, dedicated actor. I like how he described it as getting stabbed right in the chest when he hit the water.

Oh, it was a great movie!

I saw it yesterday, and dreamed about it all night long...

I gotta say that Gollum's external "internal dialogue" was plain frightening!

But, no spoilage from this cowpoke, go see it as soon as you can!
