Well, yours is the one reaction I didn't expect! Hair is none too happy with me over my comments, so I'll ride this one out. I simply thought it lacked some crucial character development in Treebeard and Faramir and I'll let it go at that. Other than that, awesome.

I'm no true hobit. I have yet to actually READ any of the books. Closest I have gotten is skimming through.

If treebeard was gone into much more in the book, that just sounds downright boring to me. I thought I was watching some captain planet episode, where the trees are getting back at those horrible republicans who destroy the environment, because TREE's are alive......

LOL Brady! I just suffer from a disorder that makes me twitchy and irritable when I hear too much complaining about things I like.

Sorry there wasn't enough battling for ya Tex. LoTR is about a lot of walking and talking, which is what I like best anyway, though I liked the battle.

But the war is yet to come. Saruman put together a decent assault, but he can't smash the free peoples nearly the way Sauron can. I am sure that for you, the movie will only be ruined by the actual Return of the King who will be crowned with some pomp and circumstance, and there will be a wedding or two. I hope bring something nice to wear.
