I was far more annoyed at other stuff in the movie. Each one had something to irk me. In the first it was when Aragorn and Frodo are perched on a swaying tower of stone in Moria, weighing god knows how many tons, and Aragorn says "lean forward" and the swaying rock falls forward and they are miraculously saved. Ugh.

1. like 300 pounds of man/hobbit meat would affect anything under those circumstances.

2. didn't Gandalf display TELEKENETIC powers in the movie? Why couldn't he help.

3. most important -- read Tolkien, and one thing that does NOT really play much of a role in helping the good guys is BLIND, DUMB, STUPID LUCK! It's hard work, dedication, steadfastness in the face of danger and against all odds.

I know I"m obsessed about it, but that scene truly pisses me off. There's absolutely no justification for it from an artistic or drama or "gotta do something different, this is a movie after all" point of view.

I'm a bit unfond of the teleketic battle between Saruman and Gandalf, but I undertsand the need for direct conflict, which doesn't exist in the books.

That swaying rock thing though. Stupid, and without reason.

Harry Dies during a threesome with Ron and Hermi-err, sorry, wasn't supposed to give that away.

I didn't use any programs. Someone extremely talented created that magnificent piece of art at Rule 34. NSFW.

I did, however, crop out the naughty bits.

Acutally necessary, IMHO. Without revealing spoilers -- unlike Order of the Phoenix, the last book has NO flab. It's hard to imagine what they could cut out without really butchering the thing pretty severely.

I think it's justified that they split it into 2 movies. I'm also sure, however, that the additional $$$$ played NO consideration in this decision. *cough* :rolleyes:

Wouldn't the first half be pretty boring? All of the action was at the end.

Can't go into too much detail since SOMEONE didn't read the freaking book yet, but yeah, the boring bits will be in the beginning. They can end the first movie at a cliffhanger of sorts, but I think they can stretch some of the early fighting out.

I don't believe in reading, but I frickin love the movies!
