It's after 4:00 AM now, and I'm very tired. But before I go to bed, I bring you two lists. No extensive analysis. Just lists.
Quick (and Terribly Incomplete) List of Reasons Why I Love This Movie
Gollum. Gollum. Gollum. One reason which cannot be repeated enough. Gollum.
Aragorn. See Gollum format above. Repeat here after switching names.
Theoden mourning at Theodred's grave.
Legolas swinging up on galloping horse in Warg fight scene.
The Ring's corruption of Frodo.
The Dead Marshes.
Dwarf tossing revisited.
Haldir effectively dispatched.
The storming of Isengard.
Arwen's vision of Aragorn's death.
Sam telling Faramir how Boromir died. Faramir's reaction.
Faramir. Refer to Aragorn listing above for format.
The sobering look at war as seen though the arming of Rohan at Helms Deep, Merry and Pippin, and Treebeard when he witnesses Sauruman's devastation.
Sam! "I'm his gardener."
Quick (and Most Likely Incomplete) List of Reasons I Didn't Quite Love This Movie
Well, it was way too short. Way too short.
Theoden hogging Eomer's part.
Eomer almost entirely written out of the film. Thank god for Faramir.
Boromir flashback cut (most likely for time constraints).
Some of the CGI with the Wargs.
Is anyone going to grab that bloody sword from Rivendell, fix it, and get it to Aragorn? Please? That is making me nuts!
Aragorn tried to give Arwen the jewel back. HE TRIED TO GIVE IT BACK!!!
Emotionally manipulative Elrond. Galadriel had the "Net-Weaver" title, but Elrond is putting her to shame.
Much more tomorrow about the viewing and the movie. Now I need to sleep.
Night.
