I was shouting at my puter a couple times when I had an answer he got wrong...

Is not just a teenage crowd! - Most folk my age or older! But good listen anyhow.

I want to hear want he says after he actually sees it. I think he'll like it even more.

I wonder what he would have said if he had heard Aragorn's speech before the Black Gate: exhorting the "Men of the West" to defend, in essence, Western Civilization?

I like what he said at the very end, that Bush whomping on Saddam, etc., hasn't just crippled the terrorists, it's crippled the dems.

I saw RotK yesterday and Mark Levin has it exactly right. I would have loved to see a longer movie, and told my friend who saw all three movies with me that RotK actually could have been two movies.

And here's my big news flash review after watching all three. PJ should have cast the man who played Eomer as Aragorn. YES! I never liked Viggo as the king; only as Strider, and I do not find him an attractive lead excepting in how very well he acted out Elrond's castigation that "men are weak." Eomer, despite his youth (in real life) carried his role extremely well and would have been a very believable, very honcho, Aragorn, and a great love interest for Arwen. All they'd have had to do is make him up to look a bit older.

These critiques are not because of being a starry-eyed teen as I am neither.

Pip, when you see RotK, please evaluate Eomer as a potential Aragorn and let me know what you think, k? I am very decided in my view, but would like to hear from others on this.
