I'm back

Some immediate, overwhelmed and semi-coherent thoughts.



It is too long. But I don't love it any less for that.

I love Billy's voice. I loved that whole scene. In fact, that was where the tears welled up, not at the end.

I love Faramir, and David Wenham.

I was thrilled to see Sean Bean in the drawings at the end.

Frodo goes to the Grey Havens because he wants Sam to be happily married. Frodo is in love with Sam. There is no doubt at all. He says he doesn't want Sam to be conflicted. I just can't see that any other way.

I love the fact that we got to actually see Andy Serkis.

Viggo is the King. I love him completely and utterly.

I am jealous of Liv. Did you see the way he kissed her!?

It didn't do Orlando justice. A number of times I didn't think he looked attractive. However, when he walked through that door at the end...

I love Elijah Wood.

I love Sam, and Sean. "But I can carry you..."

The music is fantastic.

I laughed at Legolas's "A diversion!". Really? And I hadn't been listening to Aragorn say the same thing for about five minutes...

I thought they'd ruined the Shelob thing when Frodo 'escaped'. I'm glad they didn't.
I thought they might have really messed up the ending when Gollum fell. But of course, it was fine.

Frodo invisible at the end wasn't good. Only part that looked really fake.

Dom wasn't in it enough.

I can't wait to have Saruman and the Houses of Healing in the EEDVD.

I can't wait to see the Legolas/Aragorn fics - they were both awake that night in Edoras...

I'm glad they ended it with the last line from the book.

I didn't miss the Scouring of the Shire. It would have been too much.

I can't wait to see it again on Christmas Eve!



More when I am thinking more clearly.

Goodnight.
