It is 3:45am on the eastern united states and I just got back from the first showing of The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King. I enjoyed the movie although was upset that they deviated so much from the novel. I know it's not really computer related, let alone security related, but I'm sure some of the other nerds around this site have also seen the movie by now. My question is: what do you think of it?

Going to see it tonight at 8pm PST. I figured they would of taken parts of the book out like the Scouring of the Shire (because Galadriel did not give Sam the earth from Lothlorien in the giving of the gifts scene in the first movie) and stuff, but how did it deviate from the book otherwise?
Hey hey, peoplee, no spoilers please, i didn't watch it yet.
I saw the previews for the movie, and the effects look cool. But remember, the book is almost always better than the movie. I really wanna see Bad Santa.
I seen it today, its only out here today place was packed but it was really good. Long ass film though, 3hrs plus I think took up most of my day anyway, well worth it though.
Amazing battle sequences oh and that spidey, oh so scary!

FOTR Extended Edition: 23 minutes extra..
TTT Extended Edition: 42 minutes extra...
TRTK Extended Edition: ????
Hopefully they add an hour or so extra...The review I read also said that "The battle outside the walls of Minas Tirith puts the battle of Helm's Deep to shame. "
Wohooo!! I cant wait!
Thats true, you wont believe your eyes for the battle sequences, the sheer scale of it all!
Wait till you see the Elephant thing/Legolas sequence, personal fave.
The elephant sequence with legolas is awesome. I personally didn't like the way they did the sam, gollum and shelob subplot, remember all the details when sam where's the ring and all. Also the way the dealed with gandalf going to orthanc to deal with sauraman was much better in the novel.

We had people who came dressed as orcs and elves. I was tempted to
bring my axe. I couldn't resist the need to choke up and cry several times.
What an experience!
:cool:
I get angry at the people who dress up half assed. If your going to dress up at least pay attention to details. There is nothing worse then seeing someone dressed as a hobbit with a skate t-shirt showing. Just sad.
We also had a lot of people dress up around here, some were very fancy wearing what looked like pounds of chainmail.
