I'm at T-60 and counting... I can hardly wait, glueing fur to my feet as I type... I went and saw '78 version on opening day, so much higher expectations this time... (not really glueing fun on feet but sounded like fun)

I saw it this afternoon. I have never before gone to an opening day movie. I couldn't wait any longer--30 years is long enough. Your review is spot on. I won't quibble about Braveheart. When I first saw the Shire, Rivendale, and Mirkwood I was delighted. The director did not depict them. He found them in time and teleported there for the filming. I was mesmerized by the scenery. I have imagined them so many times and there they were. I wanted to keep looking and gazing. I wanted to walk over that hill and see the view from there.
