By brother's thoughts on the movie. Probably reflect's most of the viewing public. When I talked to him yesterday (after wishing him and his a very Merry) Aragorn was "the Human Fighter" and Gandalf was "the Magic User guy." An interesting example of what probably sinks into the general audience's memory of the film...

Yeah, there is something of a Proper Noun Syndrome with Tolkien, but the hardcore fans, including me, generally embrace it.

I saw it this evening. I must say, I was quite let down. I got so built up over all this WAR EPIC talk. All the reviews said it was action packed.

If that was action packed, I must have missed the original cut. It took 2 and a half hours to get to the war. I wanted a war within 30 mins. From the previews I thought it would be like that for the whole movie.

I guess you gotta have a number two in order to get to three.

Here's to hoping that the third installment will rock.
