I saw last Thursday and it was great. I didn't think it was long, but I'm really into epic movies. And it was so funny cause at the beginning when the head orc guy is all like I smell manflesh then they have shots of Aarogon and Legolas I turned to Chirs and told him that I'd like a piece of that man flesh. Chris gets really disgusted with me at movies, I wonder why? I never read the books, well I tried but the first one was just so boring to me, and I have the attention span of a goldfish which doesn't help I'm sure. And Ian McKellen was back, he's so cool. My mother finds it amusing that I like him so much, but he's so great. I think its funny how he has that really young boyfriend and he's just like yeah, I'm really gay now I'm going on a ski trip with my very yong boyfriend. Ian McKellen is just so cool. The only thing I didn't like is how they kinda jumped from story line to story line but I understand that all the fellowship was broken and they kinda had to, but the next they should be meeting up again, right. I liked Gollum and I thought that the CGI work was very well done, I just hate it when its so blatently CGI and ruins the movie. Like the the Mummy Returns with the Scorpion King at the end, that bit. And I also love Sean Astin, well not when he's so chunky like, but more when he was in Rudy. But it was so funny because Sean was on Jay Leno and he was talking about how Peter Jackson got mad at him because he was seen at a gym or playing tennis or something wiht the caption of trying to loose his LotR weight. It was really cute.
