It isn't a FReeper review, but this is interesting, by a convert:

I love this line: "No flabber has been left ungasted by Mr Jackson's mighty battle sequences, nor no gob unsmacked."

Indeed not!

Thanks for the link. But the guy... misses the point, I think, probably from not seeing the books.

He complains that the only person to die is Theoden, not understanding that Frodo's leaving the Shire is just as great a sacrifice in it's way. He complains that there is no visible source of evil without Saruman, seemingly unable to see that Sauron is that source... the other sacrifices made are no less.

It's not about who dies, it's about who loses what. For some, it's their life, for others, power or comfort or a cherished desire...

But he does like the movie. And that line you excerpted was great.
