[QUOTE="Holy Bovine, post: 8107, member: 203"] Like many of you there really is so much to this movie to like that it is hard to choose, but here it goes - [B]Boromir[/B]. Flat out my favourite character in the movie. In the books he always seemed to me to be an arrogant ass who just wanted the ring for himself. In the movie he comes across as desperate to save his people and all the people of Middle Earth and sees the ring as the means to save us all. At the council his description of Mordor's defences is chilling and his line "not with 10,000 men could you do this. It is [I]folly[/I] ." is one of his most powerful scenes IMHO. His friendship with Merry and Pippen is touching even though all too brief and his death scene is truly heart-wrenching as he at last accepts Aragorn as his King. An inspired adaptation of what was to me a weak character in the books. [B]Moria[/B]. Breathtaking. A vision pulled from my own worst nightmares. It also is the scene of some of the best lines of the movie "This isn't a mine. It's a [I]tomb[/I]." - Boromir "And now we must face the long Dark of Moria." - Gandalf "Nobody tosses the Dwarf!" - Gimli (and you knew i'd put it in :D) "You'll find there's still one Dwarf in Moria who can still draw blood!" - Gimli again And course this leads us to; [B]The Balrog[/B] - Incredible. Fire and Shadow made flesh. A horror from the 'deep places of the world'. My favourite monster in any movie. [B]Legolas, Galadriel, Gandalf, the Hobbits, Elrond - ok just about every character !![/B] I mean it the casting was flawless. Everyone had a moment to shine and really seemed to leap into their roles and take the spirit of the books to heart. I am glad they filmed al these movies at once because this gives me hope that this level of invovlment in their characters will remain through the series (remember the sleepwalking act Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher did in Return of the Jedi? brrrrrr) I am goiung on way too long here and just say Keep going to see this movie! Lets get it into the top 5 money makers of all-time!!!! [/QUOTE]
