Awesome flick. Sure they left some things out in order to move the plot, but they really captured the essence of the book.

There were two things that really suprised by about the movie. The first is that the cave troll looked suspiciously like the rancor in "Return of the Jedi". The second was the camio appearance by Missouri Congressman Richard Gephart in the roll of gollum.

Oh yeah... Speaking of Gollum. I was suprised he was even in the movie. My understanding is that they weren't going to show him till "The Two Towers". He was quite a site to see.

I thought they got Janet Reno to play the troll! :)

The orcs seem to have been ripped off from the swamp witch in "Legend"
