[QUOTE="nameless, post: 8191, member: 1543"] On the topic of Galadriel's temptation, and the CGI effects. Remember at the ford when Glorfindel stood against the nazgul, and the "fury of an elf-lord revealed" gave even them pause? Arwen didn't really do anything like that, and I'm of the opinion that Galadriel was doing the same thing. It gives the impression that elves are impressive, but they are also holding back even more immense power. Doubly so for Galadriel. As for gripes with the film, let me outline some that nobody really mentioned yet: 1. Frodo knew elvish in the book, and was recognized as an elf-friend in Mirkwood due to this. He obviously knew no elvish in the movie, and that played a part in the opening of the doors to Moria. 2. Frodo stood around with the ring in his open palm a little too often. He knows how grave a matter the ring is, and how powerful an artifact it is, yet feels the need to hold it in front of him while pondering its burden. 3. Someone said this, but I also thought the "Lord of the Rings" logo at the beginning was cheesy and crappy. The rest of the movie was polished, but that looked like a sloppy aftethought. -nameless [/QUOTE]
