LOTR IS SO COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry for the shouting, but I'm still bouncy, having seen the film about 5 hours ago. And it was cool. Ok, so there were inaccuracies, and lotsa stuff left out.. but what do you expect in a 3 and a half hour movie. It flowed smoothly, captivated me, and I rarely really thought.. "well, that was wrong".. and when I did.. it didn't spoil it for me. It was miles better than Harry Potter, which although truer to the plot, was much less flowing. But did we really have any doubt about that?

I think I can pretty much say that all the actors were great (although Rat has a few gripes about Gimli's accent). Viggo Mortensen proved himself perfectly capable as Aragorn, something that, frankly, had me very worried. And Sam.. another worry for me.. was perfect. And Pippin provided great comic relief :) My only possible problem was Agent Smith from The Matrix being Elrond. But that's probly cause I couldn't stop thinking of him as a bad guy.

The scenary and such was awesome. The elves actually spoke elven with subtitles.. and the characters were gorgeously perfect. And wow, I want to be able to fire a bow like Legolas can. What else is there to say. Well, if you haven't seen it.. go see it.. whether you like the books or not. I promise you won't regret it.. and if you do.. well, I can't give you my money back, but I can apologise profusely.
