It kicked soooo much ass!
Damn what a movie.
Finally saw it last night. Aside from the guy hacking away behind us, the trio having an on-going conversation, and the family with multiple bags of home-brought food...it was excellent.
I understand they had a lot of background information to fill in with the first one, but my this movie simply rocked.
All the Gollum cg was well done, the story was "relatively" close to the book.
A bit much Gimli-based humor for my taste. It worked well and wasn't *too* cheesy but was overdone.
I liked the part where he was too short to see over the rampart!
Excellent damn movie, very glad I saw this one in the theater. Can't wait for Return of the King!
