[QUOTE="Kid Charlemagne, post: 347218, member: 93"] I had relatively few complaints - there are some things I didn't like, and some that I just merely would have liked to have seen done differently. Keep in mind I'd give the film a 8.5 of 10. Complaints: -The Pacing seemed rushed, amazingly enough for as long a film as it was. I hope the Extended DVD will rectify some of this. -Galdriel's and Bilbo's transformations: Both are actually very true to the text, but I thought Galadriel's especially was overwrought. -Arwen's acting (at times): Especially as she heals Frodo after the Fords. She seemed to react with more emotion than I'd expect considering she just met Frodo. A little over-acting. -That damned ring keeps coming on and off that chain! Cut it out already! Comments on things others have mentioned: I don't mind Frodo making the decision to go to Moria, and I don't mind him solving the riddle. I see why PJ did it, and that's good enough for me. As for the pillars in Moria, I'm guessing that a room like that would serve as a kind of common marketplace kind of setup. Semi-permanent structures within a large open space, for trade, etc. Not a great explanation, but it'll do for me. [/QUOTE]
