He thought it was ok. I think he was glad he watched it. He liked Frodo and Sam and their adventure with the ring the most. He liked Eowyn too ;-) He's not a big fan of all that battle stuff (what's wrong with him?, lol). I don't think he likes fantasy movies cuz he doesn't suspend his belief well. Yet, he loves contemporary action flicks (cuz they're so realistic, lol). Think I said this before, but he kept making fun of Legolas and wondering how he didn't run out of arrows during battles/fights. I told him to pretend it was elf magic, lol. He said Orlando was a "femme" (aka girlie), but I told him to shut up and leave my Orlando alone.

Well, Mike always makes fun of Sam and Frodo. Everytime Frodo would say "Oh Sam!" Mike would follow with a "kiss me". LOL!

Then we'd laugh at Sam channeling Rudy at the end, when he carries Frodo up the mountain. "Rudy, Rudy, Rudy!"

Legolas was rather pretty. LOL!

LOL, I'm pretty sure Scott only liked Sam cuz he was Rudy. He's so silly. Yeah, Scott kept joking about them being in love with each other. He couldn't help himself. He was cracking me up, LOL.

OMG me too!! i think Legolas was such a girl...too clean for my taste. i like the dirtyness of Aragorn and stuff. Viggo and Orlando would joke about that stuff often.

LOL!!

My son always cracks up at the scene in FotR at the pass of Caracas...where the Fellowship is trying to break a path through the snow, while Legolas flits lightly across the top of it...:)

Oh dear...old-time Tolkien fan here...I think Legolas was depicted really well. The Professor was a very devout Catholic, and that comes through loud and clear in lots of his writings...I think you can almost equate a Tolkien elf with a Christian angel. Very clean, indeed. :) And as for the arrows, well...there's a perfectly good explantion for that. An elf's quiver never empties... when one is plucked, another takes it's place.

And let's not forget that Aragorn was half elf himself...not the dirty half, I guess, LOL!!

Yeah, I saw that. I like IM. I probably won't have time to read "The Hobbit" anytime soon, but this time I may want to see the movie first.

I'm glad that IM will continue to play that part. I'd be disappointed if it was a recast.

I think it was timed for the Blu-Ray release of the movies.
