AWESOME!!!!!!!
Great scene after great scene! Amazingly well done, Gollum superb, really nice battlescenes. I'll see it again in a few weeks, I think.
A few random thoughts during the movie:
***SPOILER (even for people who has read the book)***
I appreciated the implicit misogynicity in the helmsdeep sequence. Boys to young to physically lift a sword are sent out on the battlements, while women in the prime of their life are sent to wait in the caves
BTW, what a pissant little kingdom Rohan is... The entire population is evacuated, and it amounts to about 1000 people?
How come a scene in which an elf rides a shield down a flight of stairs shooting orcs with his longbow actually feels more believable than the equivalent scene in James Bond: Die another day?
