I came away with mixed feelings. the movie itself was good, and actually fairly true to the book in essence. some things i REALLY don't like: Arwen - She's supposed to stinking sit there and look pretty then get married and that's IT!!!!!!! Also, Faramir was destroyed. they killed him. i was looking forward to seeing that immensely, and they killed it for me. *sob* For the most part, i liked Théoden, though they made him a bit too haughty. Gimli isn't really supposed to be the comic relief, but it wasn't a major destruction of his character.
in all, a good movie. there were some parts where i wanted to beat up PJ, but he's doing a pretty good job at keeping as true to Tolkien as can be done onscreen. He actually didn't approve of making fiction into theatre, but i don't think they've distorted it too badly.
