Greetings all. I went to see the 12 afternoon showing today at 10:45(we nabbed great seats, the theatre was 3/4 full at 11!). Unfortunatley Em and I were the only ones wearing cloaks, lol. Guess I should have gone to the midnight to see others like us [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Anyway, there was tons of anticipation as well as expectations that the movie would be as good, or better, than the Fllowship. Especially after reading, then re-reading and doing a 20 page analysis on it.

I would say personally that it was not as good as the Fellowship at all. I left slightly dissapointed. Sure, I cheered and sighed with every other teenage girl when Orlando Bloom(Legolas) 1st popped onto the screen, and numerous times after. I cried twice too. But I cried 4 times in the Fellowship, lol.

Now I know they always leave things out of movies when its based on a book. But Arwen actually left to the west, and shes not supposed to do that. And at the end of book 2 Frodo and Sam are supposed to flight Shelbob...I know for length they couldn't extend the movie that far, but still...it means that Return of the King is going to be that much longer [img]tongue.gif[/img]

The battle scenes-best i've witnessed. I loved them

Now, for those of you ho have scene it, supply your opinions
