btw the length of the movie is 179 minutes, so yay 3 hours again.
Couldn't be anything less since all 3 books are just about as big and thus should all be treated with the about the same amount of film

i'm a projectionist at the local multi-plex and the prints came in last night. so one of the managers and myself decided to screen it.
OH. MY. GOD. incredible, just incredible. one of the movie review/rumor sites (coming attraction) had a brief review that basically said "the special effects make episode 2 look like it was shot in a barn with sock puppets." they are amazing (the ents were great, but the background looked really green screen -- and that's the worst of it, really).
i love it more than fellowship, and will be screening it again tonight when the midnight shows get out. it was totally worth only getting 3 hours of sleep before my art history final ...

i have no interest in seeing it whatsoever (after how boring the first one was) - the only thing that made me through the first one was the fact that i drank a bottle of merlot and passed out about 1.75 hours into

To be honest. It was a midnight showing, by the time 3:30 had rolled around, I had had about enough swords and shit...
But nah, it was really good. Picks up right where Fellowship left off... like you went out to the lobby for a year long popcorn run. There are some REALLY good scenes. Better than Fellowship IMO. Golem is kickass...
Go see it.

Its very good. VERY spectacular.
Gollum is indeed amazing - a very sad character. nice interior monologue worked out as a "dialogue"..
I really loved when Legolas shoots one of the first Warg riders coming down the hill, and then swings himself onto Gimli's horse. the whole cinema went "WOW!" at that.. :)
the Helms Keep thing is immense. although I liked the attack by the Ents on Isengard more.

that was amazing. helms deep was beyond impressive. really, one of the best epics i've ever seen.
and to the naysayers who think it betrays the books in some way: shut up! its a movie, the narrative structure is very different.

well, it's safe to say already that this movie could not have been brought to the screen any better. The finished product on extended DVD is gonna be something to long for.

And the storyline was seriously raped, but who cares, it is really devastating to see this movie ayway. Awesome!
