[QUOTE="Bill Hillbilly, post: 8125, member: 1529"] What did I like? hmm.... EVERYTHING!!! I thought that the Nazgul were fairly scary, especially in the Woods scene where they sort of popped out. It was startling. And the Nazgul in the Spirit World were quite creepy. The Balrog was REALLY cool. It was just like I had imagined it with the Fire and Shadow and all. Christopher Lee made an excellent Saruman. The transformation of Isengard was great. Galadriel. Except for the bit with the freak-out, it was perfect. Cate Blanchett was truly talented in that role, and the light touch of special effects made her seem ethereal and other-worldly, as befits the High Queen of the Noldor. The Ring. I think it was <insert superlative here> the touches they added, like the ring whispering "ash nazg Krimpatul, ash nazg...," and the ring hitting the ground with a thud, instead of a bounce, and especially when Gimli broke his axe over it, that just added a sort of menace to the Ring, it made it seem like the Ring was alive and scheming, not just a piece of metal. Did you notice when Bilbo said "its my...precious," he sounded exactly like Gollum? That was a nice touch. And especially the Bilbo-wanting-his-Precious scene, that was the first time I have ever truly been startled, watching a movie. And the Lidless Eye. That was one of the best touches in the movie. It was just like I imagined it from the book. Alright, enough gushing for me. Any more and I might drown... "The Road goes ever on and on..." [/QUOTE]
