Finally saw RotK

Man. I wanted to love this movie, I really did; I wanted to have the huge emotional reaction that so many of my friends have had to it. And I ... didn't. I respect it, I continue to be in awe of what was achieved here technically, there are parts I really enjoyed, I understand (even if I don't always agree with) most of the story choices that were made, I certainly don't feel like Tolkien got trashed.

( Having said which... )
