"Come Mr. Frodo!" he cried. "I can't carry it for you, but I can carry you and it as well."
Of the hobbits, Samwise Gamgee has always been my favorite. He grew on me even more as I watched the third part of the trilogy. Eowyn, Faramir and the Rohirrim also impressed me. Their moments in the film came close to what I imagined from reading the book. Minas Tirith was incredible.
Two characters sang in the movie, which was great to see and hear. The songs and poems are one of my favorite elements in Tolkien's tale. They seem to lend credibility to the history and cultures that make up the world of Middle Earth.
I wasn't supposed to see it until Christmas Eve, but the suspense was getting to me, so I sneaked in a show. It's a family tradition to see a big movie the day before Christmas. The Lord of the Rings has filled the bill the last two years. In a couple of days, I'll be watching the lengthy movie again and I really don't have any qualms with that.

HI! This is my first time at your blog. I liked it a lot, it has a wonderful sea-mood, I could stare at it for hours, just looking at the waves!
i'm only watching it on boxing day :) can't wait!
(i like eowyn too, it's a shame they took out the story between her and Faramir, bah.)
I'm sure the Eowyn and Faramir story will show up in the extended version. But yeah, I wish it was in the movie. :)
Hello Veronique, I'm glad you like it. :)
