[QUOTE="Olorin, post: 542022, member: 940"] I have been a fan of Tolkien for 20 years. I have used Olorin as my nick whenever possible for almost as long as I've been online. That has nothing to do with my views on the movie. *shrug* If you are going to disagree with something I said, please address what I say. Thanks. I liked [B]many many[/B] things in TTT. Most of them have been mentioned by others. I enjoyed the movie overall very much. I also disliked several things, among them Theoden's portrayal. The other chief things are Faramir's portrayal, the lack of attention paid to the Ents (and Treebeard's lobotomy) and the "Aragorn over the cliff" interludes. I feel like some others that some of these changes/additions were ill-advised and lessened my enjoyment of the movie. I felt that the changes/additions to FotR were much better considered and executed. I don't feel that the more drastic changes to TTT were part of a plot by Peter Jackson and Co. to lure us in and then disappoint us, that's ludicrous of course.
