Was waiting until I could go see it with my g/f. She prefered seeing FOTR on DVD on my comfy couch rather than sit for 3 hours in movie seats. I, on the other land, love the movies.
First things first, the theather was PACKED! It's been out three weeks!! WOW.
Secondly, I enjoyed it, but was disappointed in a few things. Faramir was more noble in the books and I'd prefer he be that way in the movie. The whole Gimli humor thing got tiresome after a while. I guess that is because after Sam, Gimli is my favorite character in LOTR. I guess Jackson figured since he was small, he could easily be made fun of. The Ents should been portrayed more majestically. They were instead shown as dumb walking trees.
I liked the addition of the Elves to Helm's Deep, it made the defense more believable. The touches showing young kids in military garb was great as well, showing the graveness of situation.
I can't wait for ROTK, but I hope Gimli isn't the butt of all jokes again, and I really, really want to see the trek into Mordor.
