LEAVE PIPPIN ALONE! HES COOL!

They did the many "endings" for suspense probably, but thats not how it ends in the book :O

Shelob was cool!

The Eagles have always been that big, even in the books. They are cool. They were in the Hobbit, and they saved all the dwarves and Gandalf and Bilbo, and they saved Gandalf in FOTR and then they attacked the Nazgul

Eagles are great Gwaihir is the best eagle

ROTK is the best one

Shelob was the spider. And it's Merry. (So sue me... I'm a perfectionist, what do you expect? )

I was really expecting the 'saving of the Shire' ending. I want to see the 'Saruman gets killed by Wormtongue who gets killed by hobbits'. Heck, I didn't even see Wormtongue in the third movie... ! (You can probably tell by now that I'm a fan of Grima. And I'm not very happy at not seeing him in the third movie.)

Wormtongue and Saruman was both cut from the third and the second, it was one scene that just didn't fit in and its going to be on the extended edition of the return of the king

Ugh, I read the first one and hated it, but I plowed through. I tried to read TT, but that was just as bad, so I gave up

Saw this yesterday, and was very impressed. It's the best of the trilogy by a very long way.

Only thing I wasn't too keen on was the ending. I think I longer ending, more similar to the book would have been much better.
