FWIW, here at least HFR was only available in 3D, but not in IMAX.

Just saw it. Very well done. IIRC wasn't there a lot more lore in that book than the LOTR books? I would very much like to see that done but it looks like they decided against that aspect.

Amazing that any idiot would not want to see Radagast or Tom Bombadill. I was just playing LOTRO last night and it was so cool seeing Bombadill and watching him save my ass at the end of a quest.
If you don't like those characters, that's your prerogative. Tolkien fanboys love them.

In the end you can bitch about it as much as you like, but seeing the assault on the Necromancer is something Tolkien fans ABSOLUTELY want to behold on a movie screen, so you can just shut up about it.
This is our movie, not yours. Now **** off.

Amen. Peter Jackson is a Tolkien fan, and he is making movies for Tolkien fans. You can't please everyone, but Jackson has done an incredible job pleasing the fanbase as a whole.

250 bucks for a map and it doesn't even have Mordor on it?

Watched it in 3D tonight. It was quite awesome and I plan on seeing it again this weekend with a buddy.
Wasn't sure about the Sauramon being in this, didn't remember it from the book. Same as talk of Sauron, I liked it as it's obviously preluding to LOTR, but I didn't remember it from the book. |

It's all yanked from the appendices of Return of the King.
The Necromancer is Sauron, and it's during this time that he's driven out of Mirkwood. This is what Gandalf goes to do when he leaves the party at the Lonely Mountain.

Are the appendices included in the book Return of the King? I don't remember and I didn't see them on Amazon to buy. I'm rereading the Hobbit now in anticipation of seeing the movie.
