LOL, yes, all of my objections to the last movie did that. I'm embarrassed now when I recall them posted here last year, or somewhere. Once I bought it and watched it with the rewind button it was all over. They were - the music, which I do love with a passion now - the Boromir scene, not clear or powerful enough; though if I've ever seen a more powerful scene in a movie I can't recall what it would be. Stuff like that.

I went to see it again tonight. It is much more enjoyable the second time. Because I'm familiar with the story, the first time through I was anticipating the story -- attempting to guess what was coming next.

The editting still seems a little "off". An extended cut may improve this film more than FOTR.

Now, I'm trying to find time for a third viewing.
