Never mentioned it, but I saw it on opening day. Still mulling it over, if you've seen it by now what's your verdict? Not to be a spoiler, but what's the deal with all the "endings" and why no "Scouring of the Shire"? A couple of the scenes made me want to kick Peter Jackson's private parts (Frodo/Sam/Gollum at Cirith Ungol) and some were very good (Pelennor Fields).
I guess I need to see it again...once is not enough. Eowyn Rocked! And what was up with Gimli giving the Crown to Aragorn, or was I missing something?
If you haven't seen it, give up a few bucks to New Line Cinema and enjoy it...I am looking forward to extended DVD to fill in a few of the gaps (again).

Mixed emotions. Peter Jackson has a tendancy to tart things up for the sake of popular appeal (and I am blaming the americans for this one, that means you DemVet), which I think detracts from Tolkien a fair bit. But what are you gonna do?
Gothmog FUCKING ROCKED.
