There is a much bigger battle to come, and you know that. No, I do not think "Why was TTT was a gore fest?" will that be the subject ten years from now.

That's part of what worries me. An even bigger battle lies ahead. I don't want to judge the films by the number of Orcs that get hacked or the clock time for swinging swords, but Pete's headed in that direction.

To linger on Helm's Deep, Jackson shorted the characters of Treebeard and Faramir and toyed needlessly with Aragorn's character. 90% of the viewing adiences are satisfied with that, I'm part of the 10% that is not.

I know you are not satisfied Brady. You now see this film through the eyes of someone looking for more to fault. I am not interested in joining your side. My side is more fun!
